The idea is fine, but the execution? Not so much. Towing with this seems...brave

So now it does not do truck stuff well, nor does it do car stuff well.  
 

i can see why they are getting rid of it.

id rather it be a front wheel drive swap and leave the bed intact. Either way, its still very confusing.

I've never seen this Ranger but seems to be just one town over from me. 

Luckily, I am not currently in the market for a Ranger or a Civic. devil

The gas tank location looks pretty dicey. Nothing like have 25 gallons of fuel all over you in a collision.

The tailgate says $5000 so I guess someone is getting a deal of sorts. The worst part is that I like it.

I get mad when I have to have a vehicle I've worked on get an inspection. I do good work and my work always passes.

Then I see things like this and I understand why we have to have inspections.

Towing anything with 140hp on tap seems optimistic.

Even more horrifying: that thing is apparently representing some sort of shop; check out the pics where you can see the back window.

It's actually marked as sold. Bet it overheats. Terrible location for a radiator.

I kinda want to build one of these that's just 4-wheels, drivetrain, and a roof. It would be so low it could only be driven by remote control.
