gonna be a toy, not a daily driver. prices are very very similar but the ranger is a lot bigger car so you get a lot more metal for the money

as a ford owner i know firsthand that the quality of the components/suppliers aren't that great but if you don't beat the cr*p out of the car it'll serve you OK for 10 or 12 years. then the resale value is totally rubbish

the jimny is a lot smaller and less safe (less airbags, less mass, less crash structure). but it'll probably last 20yrs
