I drive a B2300 (the Mazda rebrand of the Ranger) and it kicks ass. I get 7-8L per 100km, when commuting, I’ve filled it to the tits with dirt, flooring and lumber, and it doesn’t take up 2 parking spaces. I would pay an obscene amount to get the same truck but as an EV today. Why the fuck is that not a thing?!?

I recently bought a 2010 B4000 and it is a great size for a truck.

Ever heard of a Ford Maverick? It’s not a “real” truck since it’s unibody instead of body-on-frame, but otherwise it’s the next best thing to the old Ranger.

Transverse engine + transaxle + biased toward FWD

Like I said, it’s (unfortunately) not a real truck.

The b23 was a great truck, though.

This is actually a good point, why are there no small EV trucks?

I bet they exist in China.

I see lots of Rivians where I live. I’m not about to spend $130k on a small truck though.

Ford Maverick is the size of the old school rangers. I have a hybrid one and love it. Only problem is finding one not marked up sky high.

Best we can do is a behemoth truck that doesn’t fit in spots and costs a first born child.
