I contemplated the same thing when I bought my F-150.
Price of Ranger vs F-150 was within a couple grand. Mileage was within 1-2 mpg, and towing/hauling capacity is far greater with a half ton.
To me it was a no brainer to get the 1/2 ton. I may not have a regular use for the full capacity, but it was there if/when I needed it.

I grew up with a light duty, it's all I really need and I like a smaller sized vehicle.

I was really only considering getting one because of the Toyota issues, I was hoping I could get a decent price on a new one. I hoped wrong.

Fair enough.
I grew up with 3/4 ton diesels, so that's what I want.

My Mazda B3000 is a 1/2 ton.

Back in the day, Toyota made a 1 ton.

It was still a mini truck.

Generally, if someone is referring to a 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton, they are talking about a full size truck.

Base Taco with a 4banger and 5spd is about 16K.
How much are you looking to spend on it?

Base model Taco's are great little trucks.

What's pimp is masking off the TO and the TA, so that you're left with YO on the liftgate.

Yeah, not around here. Fuckers are trying to get close to 25-27k out of them. I need to try other regions.
