Since the Raptor is too big and manly, get a Subaru Brat.

The even came out with a new brat that managed to be even uglier than the original. They called it "baja", which is an interesting name for a vehicle that cannot run the baja.

Dude! That is it! Exactly what he asked for. Four doors with a small bed. And the fake roll cage is perfect for signalling manliness. He really owes you one. :)

My mom had one of the non turbo ones. I had a few WRXs so she thought she’d give suby a try. She loved it, but I drove it once and just couldn’t believe how dumb it felt to drive. Soft springs and high ride with almost no shocks. It felt like a 70’s barge but 1/2 size. I thought they were a good idea but ended up uglier than it should’ve been but also just sucked to drive. Hers was a 5-spd so there was that. But a suby w/o a short shift lever feels awful too.

A good friend had one way back when, I was back in the bed seats and we were riding around partying in it. I learned the hard way that pissing off the back of it at 40 mph does not work well. I definitely underestimated all the turbulence back there! :confused: I might as well have laid on my back and pissed up in the air. Much fun was had in that Brat though, it seemed pretty cool in 1978.

The SCAB Raptor isn't a full-sized truck, other than in width. Every time I see my SCREW from the side, I marvel at how short it looks. But then I'm used to regular work trucks. I'd expect the F150 SCAB with the six and a half foot bed to be the same length as the Raptor SCREW.
SCAB Raptors are full size trucks.

Yes they are. They are also so short that they look funny to me. They're like the short fat kid of the pickup world. LOL This says more about me than about them. I've been driving full-size pickups for almost 50 years, and I have this idea in my head about "normal" proportions. Even my SCREW looks oddly short, tall, and wide to me.

SCREWs with 5.5' beds have always looked funny to me because the cab looks longer than the bed. On most trucks back in the day the bed was longer than the cab so that's what looks more proportioned to my old ass.
