I've spent the last 20+ years driving ubiquitous dual-cabs on minesites. Luxes, Mazdas, Rangers, Isuzus, Navarras, even drove a Great Wall once.
So for me I guess they're like hi-vis. They're a reliable workhorse, but will never be a fashion-statement. I have no need of a truck, and personally I will never connect with one as my personal vehicle. So there's a reason I've stopped browsing my local Ford dealer. Ok, there's always the Mustang, but come on $90k for a Ford? Missus wanted a new car, and Daughter is currently in the market. And what does Ford have to offer??? SFA unless you want a Ranger. I mean sure, it's been a decade since we made Fords locally, and I've had to accept that anything new will come from Thailand, or Mexico, or Bulgaria. But nope, they can't even do that right. Ok, so the great cars Ford once made have all died in the **** and been replaced with generic SUVs. That's fine, that's what the Missus and Daughter wanted. So where TF are they? Where's the Focus, Puma, or Kuga? Where's the Escape, Explorer, or Edge?
