2019 Ford Ranger
Well after seeing the new Jeep Gladiator, Chevy's and Ram's HD trucks revealed this new Ford Ranger is by far the best looking truck out of the bunch IMO. Link

How many times do we have to go through this?
As they state in the TFL comparison article you posted...
"The U.S. and Euro specs Ford Rangers are actually very different, yet similar. They have very similar dimensions and slightly different look, but the powertrains and weight ratings are very distinct. It has a lot to do with different government regulations and customer needs."
The US truck class regulations GVWR limits these trucks are in are lower than they are globally. For example, the Class 1 GVWR limit for the US is 6,000 lbs(2,721 kg) with a slight deviation for options. The class C limit in Australia is 9,920 lbs(4500 kg) allowing for more GVWR and by default greater payload. If you brought the global Ranger to the US, it would have the same 6,000 lb GVWR limits of US version because it is a class 1 vehicle and therefor a lower payload.
Too bad, we are much happier with a more capable Ranger
