I drove my boss's current-gen Ranger on a ~4 hour round trip a while back. IMO it had a surprisingly high level of handling and roadholding given its underpinnings, and was adequately communicative about its limits at highway speeds (ie: it didn't turn all sudden death if you clipped or had to swerve around a pothole on a sweeping bend), but it was a bit sketchy at times at lower speeds around town without any weight in the back. Managed to accidentally flick the back out going through a roundabout at one point, and the stability control was unusual for this day and age, where it still required some driver input to correct it (actually my preference compared to overly-invasive/reactive systems on some cars), but I doubt it would've gathered the slide up all by itself too which a less enthusiastic driver might not have appreciated. Regardless, amazing how far the handling on a ladder chassis dual cab ute has come, but gotta respect the limitations!
