I wanted a vehicle with 4WD and decent ground clearance, for snow and going /out/. A midsize truck was a better deal and seemed more versatile and useful than any of the limited SUV options on the market these days. I didn't expect to use it as a truck that much but it's actually been a godsend, especially when helping my parents move and cleaning out their 40+ years of hoarded bullshit, this little Ranger probably hauled more tonnage to the dump in a few months than most (non-work) HD trucks will haul in their lifetimes.
