You must not be reading it much then... They had an article about how to buy a Ranger just like two months ago. Again, nothing really groundbreaking, but the fact it was there hopefully is some indication they might be finally warming up to the RBV as a worthy offroad contender. Article was much better written than the few past articles I've seen (no glaring inaccuracies anyway). Then in the very next issue they showed a red std-cab Ranger that I think was one of the editor's own trucks (had a SAS with a little D30). They showed it flopped on it's side IIRC.
As for all the Jeep stuff... I don't know if it's the same where you guys are, but any & every time I go out wheeling pretty much anywhere, it's 99% Jeeps around me. Once in awhile I'll see like an old Toyota pickup or IH Scout or something, but it's not often. It only makes sense that the magazines would have more stuff catering to Jeeps than other makes.
BTW, some years back TRS-2 (Jim's truck) was featured as a build-up for like 4 issues straight in a row (or was it 6 issues?) in that 4 Wheel Parts Adventures thing. I quit getting it sometime after that though since I stopped buying stuff at 4 Wheel Parts so it was cool to see this posted here.
