[PG2]

I looked at a Ranger about 2 years ago. Unlike all of my previous purchases where I just would blindly buy Ford, I did shop around to other brands.

We, the wife and I, looked at the Navara, Triton, Colorado and Ranger. The Amorok was struck off the list as it did not rear side air curtains. I just simply did not like the Hilux.

We did not test drive the Navara (I can't remember why, but there was a reason) but Test drove the Triton, Colorado and Ranger. I actually liked the Triton... until I drove it.

That left it down to the Colorado LTZ and Ranger XLT. The Ranger certainly drove better but the Colorado was over $9000 cheaper (taking trade-in into account).

If the Ranger and Colorado had been priced similarly, we certainly would have gone with the Ranger but at the end of the day the Ranger was not a $9000 better car for what we wanted to use it for.
