This new generation of "mid-size" trucks is looking suspiciously like full-size trucks light edition.
The Ranger has an F-150 turbo diesel and is wider than ever before. And the upcoming HiLux will be TNGA-F based, which IS the basis for the Tundra and the LC300 which are full-size vehicles.
Perhaps an attempt to go out on a high before EV trucks come in and all truck categories get fully redrawn.

I can only hope that if Toyota and Ford go out on a limb and upsize that Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and SsangYong don't start chasing them upsizing and especially not up-motoring their trucks.
Frugal is where it is at for long-distance camping and overlapping IMHO.
