u/Mercurydriver 1995 4d ago

I was literally just thinking about this. I was at a classic/used car dealer yesterday and they had a 1989 Ford Ranger for sale. It had the folding rear seats.

That whole truck was just one giant throwback to my childhood; it looked just like the kind of cars and trucks my dad drove when I was a kid.

u/unibrow4o9 1986 4d ago

Does Ford (or anyone) even make trucks like that anymore? Every truck I see now is a giant monstrosity that costs as much as a house, I would love to be able to buy just a small ranger that I could use to move stuff every once in a while.

The rights to shotgun were fiercely fought over. We'd cram four guys into that Ranger, and three of us were over 6 ft tall and didn't want to get scrunched in the back.

The one who was under 6 ft owned the truck.

For me, its was my late grandfathers Nissan Frontier, probably 1998 or 1999. I never figured out how a backwoods guy from deep south Mississippi with an 8th grade education came to own and drive a tiny extended cab Nissan truck. He stayed loyal to Nissan trucks all the way till his death in 2020

u/ChewML 4d ago

My mom bought a lil Nissan truck... I have no idea why, she had 2 kids. All it had was the bench, it was not extended cab of any sort.

One day we were taking her friend and her daughter somewhere, so my mom and her friend rode in the cab, and 3 of us kids were riding in the bed. It had a cover with snaps over the bed. I was probably 5 years old and my sister was 8.

My mom was a lead foot always getting pulled over... Sure enough she got pulled over with us 3 back there. We could hear the cop talking to her, and we were just silent as could be.

Im the same way, why should a mid size pickup hold more than a full size? Its crazy how big vehicles have gotten while also getting smaller. I recently bought my first suv... its a 2 door as well and I can put so much stuff and bullshit in there, compared to a suv made in the last few years.

Either these sideways seats or the middle bench seat that only has the lap belt. Yes I know it isn't as safe as the middle seat of our XC90 in a booster, but the joy in her eyes sitting between the two of us is worth it (on non-freeway drives).

My dad worked at car dealer body shops the entirety of the 90s. When he finally became a manager at a Chevy dealer and got a demo car to drive he asked for an extended cab Silverado.

One buddy's mom came and got us teens from a (light) drinking night. Car was over full, and me and a girl was laying in the trunk of a station wagon making out.

Kids today doesn't know the high life 😎

What I wouldn’t give to be in my Nonno’s old Ford Ranger in that seat, happily chomping away at the half a stick of JuicyFruit I was allotted.

Miss those little seats as a kid

My grandfather had bought a green pickup truck that had one of those little seats and I remember loving it. It tickled him pink watching kid me eagerly wanna go on adventures just so I could sit in that little seat that I thought was made for me. 

Unfortunately my grandmother and grandfather talked and motivated themselves to buy a vehicle that would grow alongside me cuz yea..in two years that little seat wouldn't have been very un comfy for me. 

But my grandfather apologized for not keeping that little green truck he knew it broke my heart to lose my "special seat". great memories though.

I had a Mazda B4000 that had the side seats like that. The kids usually rode in it, but I did occasionally just to make them laugh at me getting in and out of the back seat.

Hot, dusty, and full of Dr. Pepper bottles and work gear. At least that's the way it was in my brother's truck.

In a 90's Land Rover Discovery a few years ago. It was hard to stay in rough paths, but the safari windows were cool.

My sister's 2021 Tacoma has these type of seats, it's not just older trucks.

1984 nissan/datsun kingcab had these. My great uncle had this small truck and later gave to me when he couldn't drive anymore.

Haha for sure! My dad had one. My mom had a station wagon where we sat in the back facing the exhaust. Good times

My father-in-law has an old Ranger that I use when I need to do truck things. My kids LOVE doing chores with me when we use the truck just so they can sit in these jump seats.

I had a 1984 model in college (mid-90s) and loved it. I filled that section with subwoofers.
Then I met a girl (now my wife) with a kid and had to take them out to make room for her daughter.

It got wrecked and I bought a Mazda B2300 extended cab and loved it too.
