The 3rd generation Ranger (1998–2011) was 70.3 inches wide and 188.5 to 202.9 inches long (depending on cab and bed options)

The new 4th gen Ranger (2019-?) is 72.8–79.8 inches wide, and 201.2–212.5 inches long and you can't get a regular cab or any two door version in the US. It's simply no longer a compact truck. The Tacoma isn't a compact truck anymore either.

Edit to add: maybe electricification can get us actually small trucks again.

I was a Ranger fan for decades, but the 4th generation only shares a nameplate with the truck I love. As others have pointed out, the footprint is huge and the cab is egregious. But also it's so ridiculously tall. The nice thing about a pickup truck is that you can load it from the sides, right? Not anymore... unless you're a pro basketball player, I guess. But what I really want is an electrified el camino.

My 2015 Tacoma is the same size as a 2005 Tundra, and significantly larger than my dad's 2001 Ranger. The Ranger looks like a toy when I park next to it, despite them both being in the same class of pickup trucks.

The modern Ford Ranger is just an overpriced regular size truck that does nothing well.
