I've had both current generations and my wife and I both like the Ranger much more.
I am someone who only needs an extended cab and is going to pimp out the back of the 6 foot bed for off road camping adventures. After a lot of research and pricing, the Ranger is my choice For me, a deeper bed is a better option as I am going to have a lifted platform sleeping bed in the truck bed and custom storage and drawers underneath. Great video comparison that helps one decide the truck they want and need for how they are going to use it.
I got rid of my '16 Tacoma for a new '20 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 2yrs ago & never looked bk! The Ranger has better tech, better powertrain & bigger frame etc. Plus, it rides better than my old Tacoma TRD. Absolutely love this truck!
Can you update us after 4 years or 40,000 miles
@@gutadin5 lol
😂
Yeah, man even a Kia Sportage works great for the first 3 years.... Call us back in 5 or 6 yrs.
@@gutadin5So you'd prefer a more expensive truck that makes less power, tows less, hauls less, is slower, has worse gas milage, and has worse tech because toyotas used to be more reliable? 😂
Informative, topical and great energy from the presenter. Good job all around!
Good breakdowns on the topics between the two for each category. Most people will drive these daily and it's important to mention the things you did. There's a typo however at the 10:11 mark for the V6 displacement. Not a big deal that ruins the video, but just a heads up!
Great vibes from the host! 10/10
Both are good trucks. I went with the V6, longer bed Tacoma and it's been great. I keep vehicles for a long time and need that long-term reliability. I love the simplicity of the Taco as well. Rugged, reliable and simple.
What about the new Tacoma since they deleted the V6 and replaced it with a new 4 cylinder hybrid? Do you think it's a downgrade?
I was in Oregon helping my sister buy a truck last week. I got a Tacoma as a rental (3000 miles on it) as this was one of the cars she was interested in. We ended up buying the Ranger over the F150 and Tacoma. I drove a few hundred miles on the Tacoma up to Mt St Helens and hated it by the time I got back. I found the handling at highway speeds difficult and downright dangerous at times. Hitting a pothole caused something similar to the Jeep death wobble and I later hit a large puddle at 40 mph which caused it to pull worse than any vehicle I have ever driven. This was not an alignment problem but felt more like a suspension that couldn't handle the larger tires it came with. The Ranger handled far superior, had better head room, better leg room, better seats along with the larger bed with the extended cab. The Ranger was a 21 XLT with 18K on it. I really don't get why companies give so much credit to Toyota and other Japanese manufacturers over American vehicles. They may be slightly more reliable but I find the interiors small and more of a truck for those that don't really need a truck. As I told my sister the Toyota is a truck for a 20 year old not for someone that needs the cargo
capabilities of a real truck.
You sir, have won the internet. I have these same exact thoughts and always called the Tacoma a “I want a truck just to fit in with the fad, but don’t really need a truck” truck. I see Tacomas everywhere (I live in Olympia, WA). They’re all clean. I never see them towing or carrying anything in the bed aside from maybe a keg lmao. Thank you!
I love my Ranger. I get crap all the time for the looks. But guess what? I have a truck that can out tow your Tacoma, has better handling, and better speed. Sure, the Tacoma has reliability for anything from 1st gen to 2nd gen. I’ve seen tons and heard of tons of Tacoma 3rd gens breaking down. 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t care for looks! I care for being able to tow my 7000lb camper, being able to carry my tools, wood, mulch, and whatever my wife needs for her garden. I don’t off road, so I don’t care for that. But if I ever needed to, my Ranger I’m sure can get the job done. Maybe not as good as a Tacoma. But at least I won’t be stuck in a ditch like a Ram would lol.. 🤷🏻♂️
find that hard to believe play 2020 SR5 and it runs and steer like a dream I don't know what you were driving but it was in a Tacoma it was probably a Tesla cyber truck
Been going back and forth with the Taco and Ranger, may get the XLT. Thanks for review and informative replies.
I know this is a CarMax video, but you're killing it dude.
Good review . I have a 2016 tacoma SR5 , 4X4 and have no complaints . Bought it new and no problem !
How many mileage now on the odometer?
@@gutadin5 69k
Just test drive both and see what you like. I was split 50/50 until I drove a 2020 V6 Tacoma. It felt lethargic when trying to pass at highway speeds. The transmission was clunky and felt like it was from a truck built 10 years ago.
On the flip side, the Ranger had much more pep. Additionally, for less than $1000 I had the dealership install the Ford performance package that is supposed to add 40 hp and 60 ft/lbs of torque. The difference is significant.
I still think the Tacoma looks a little better, but I love my 2021 Ranger.
I bought a Tacoma because they’re practical, have proven best in class reliability and look nice. I have a 2016 mustang gt that has a lot of power and can pass anyone at highway speeds. That’s not why I bought my truck
This is a good review and funny too!
My wife has had 2 Tacomas, 1st one was an 2003. We put alot of miles on it, never an issue. She wanted a jeep, so we got her a jeep but, then she wanted a Tacoma again. This time we bought a 2013 Trd. We take that everywhere. I'm not sure how the Ford will do in the long run but, the Tacomas both have never had an issue whatsoever. The gas mileage pretty much sucks but, Super reliable. My 2008 Tundra is the same way with 171,000 miles on it.
I have a 2008 Tundra with almost 300K miles. They are tanks. I will always drive a Toyota.
I had a great experience with my 2015 taco, bought it with 900miles used traded it in with 160k got 16.5k on trade in 2021 and if you haven't already figured it out I drive A LOT of miles, frequently pulled trailers often near max towing capacity. Oil changes tires and front pads and rotors, battery Once and a couple of windshields was all I ever had to do to it, never let me down. Needless to say I got a loaded trd off-road in 2021 and it's awesome. I've had to many bad experiences with ford over the years to even want to look at them
I like how you didn’t say the 0-60 on the Tacoma. You just said it was good power. Side by side that ranger feels like a rocket ship.
You know that’s right. And it’s actually fun to drive.
I love passing Tacomas on the Ranger
The 3rd Gen Tacomas have a crappy 6 speed automatic transmission.
I have three 4th Gen. Rangers and have owned all gens. Except the newest Gen. With that being said I'd have to buy the ranger. My trust is with them. 100 percent.
How many miles do you get out of those trucks?
Ranger for me, don't care about "getting 200k miles" out of mine since it'll get sold before it reaches 50k and will end up as someone else's landscape/gardening truck. I like having the ride quality and the power of the Ranger and plenty of Ford trucks get used as fleet vehicles to get beat up all day and don't have issues.
Yep just ordered a ‘23 XLT. Will be my first ever truck and new vehicle altogether. Tacomas are cool but they are a dime a dozen and imo a bit boring. If they redid them for ‘23 like the ranger, it may have been the winner.
This is a good review. I will say you shouldn't buy a Tacoma as a lower cost truck alternative. The suspension on those trucks in all options is great, steering is great, its got a tight turn radius, and the clearance is enough to match the larger trucks. Its the favorite of field engineers and surveyors and I prefer it (as an engineer) over an f150 and Silverado for these reasons as long as you get one of the upper models with the v6. They offer blistein and fox struts too. They can take a beating and are useful on top of mountain trail for exploration and down into the mine pit. With that said, I might take the ranger if I was an everyday home owner due to the higher tow, the higher sidewall on the bed, the acceleration, and the lower cost. Tacoma is a smaller work truck for those who need this and a much better offroading vehicle (assuming you don't buy that antiquated base i4, the mpg is low because that's a very old engine model). The Ranger is a lower cost and better mpg alternative for an f150.
;;i00
Ranger is better offroad! But I agree with everything else you said!
@@nicoaguilar13 Tacomas are some of the best off roading vehicles ever made. They leave rangers in mud holes. There is a reason people are still making Tacomas from the 90s into off roaders. You never see that with Rangers. Also if you are out off roading on the middle of nowhere you want tough and reliable. Something Ford knows little about. Your statement couldn’t be more false.
@@eaglestryker1338 mostly disbelief. Rangers are garbage
@@eaglestryker1338 Toyota reliability > Ford
I like your talking hand motions. Good job.
Physics doesn't play! 😂 Well said, Desola.
Great vid! Have to go with the Taco though.
I have a 21 ranger extended cab 4x4 and keep it under 55 and drive it easy it will average 27mpg i have been very happy with it so far.
Daniel, does your Ranger have the option of different drive options? I think “sport” and “eco” are two of the 3 or 4 driver selectable modes. If so, are you using the “eco” mode? Thanks!
@@bigjeff1291 no my truck doesnt have any drive modes to choose from.
@@danieldunham9978 Thanks Daniel! I’ve ordered a Lariat with a ton of “bells & whistles. I’m an old dude and it’ll take me a loooong time to learn all the “high tech” stuff.
Again, thanks for your reply!
@@eaglestryker1338 My 2022 Lariat Sport 4X4 doesn’t have the different drive modes. I wish it did - I’d be trying out the ECO mode!
27 MPG - Baloney
I drove these back to back yesterday. The Tacoma feels cheap, underpowered and wheezy. The Ranger was modern, comfortable and powerful. It was night & day.
The rangers interior is absolutely awful. The Tacoma interior is dated feeling as well but my 2020 limited trim is actually really nice. Base model Tacoma interiors are pretty bad though
@@roycemartin9068 You're nuts if you think the Limited Taco interior is better than the Ranger Lariat.. The Toyota is full of parts from my mom's 1999 Corolla....
I sat in the Tacoma and it was very uncomfortable. Ranger was much better. So I got the ranger.
The Ford is better then presented.
I'm not Team anybody. But, I want the tow capacity, payload and the gas mileage plus the lower initial cost of the Ranger. I just looked at the Ranger XLT this past weekend and it feels comfortable to me.
Can't argue about the tow capacity and payload, but the real world MPG are pretty much the same for both, also the lower initial cost will mean higher cost to maintain in the long run, a 4 cylinder Ford will never last long as a V6 Toyota. Buy once, cry once.
Keep in mind the Toyota will still be on the road with a good resale value long after the ranger is smashed in a junk yard somewhere. If you are just planning on driving it for 5 years and trading it on a new one fine. If you want to drive it for 10-20 years get the Toyota.
@@cubanamerican22 I’ve been driving Ford products for 30 yrs and have never had any issues. My parents and grandparents have been driving Toyotas since the 70’s and honestly, I haven’t put any more money into mine than they have. My current Ford has 183K and is going strong with no issues. It’s all about regular maintenance and how you take care of your vehicle.
@@Lakesidewoodshop Not necessarily. Every reliability study shows Ford ranks near the bottom while Toyota is always at the top of every study. Some people have good luck with Ford, but the statistics say otherwise.
@@westcoastplinkin6559 That may be true but my 1990 Tacoma SR5 with a 3.0L V6 was a pile of junk. It was grossly underpowered, CV joints would regularly fail (3 times in 5 yrs), transfer case took a dump and after only 5 yrs it became a rust bucket. Had two Rangers, two Edge Sports, an Escape, Explorer with nothing more than routine maintenance with a couple hundred thousand miles on each (I drive a few hundred miles a day for work). In Toyotas defense, my parents never had the issues I had with my Toyota. I’m not a Toyota hater by any means but ‘statistics’ are typically personal opinions of a survey and not very scientific. I’m sure there are a lot of people that hate Ford or Chevy or Nissan for that matter and a prime example is my experience with my Tacoma. I never bought another one and never had reliability issues with anything I have driven since. Call it luck, I call it taking care of a significant investment. 😁
I’ve owned both. The Ranger has been more reliable. Tacomas DO break. My frame rusted out from under two Tacoma’s prematurely. However, the ride is a bit rough in the Ranger.Also, it’s hard to get the best MPG from the FX4 package. I’ve had one with the Sport package only that got 23.5 mpg consistently on road trips. For those who don’t know, the Ranger never really went away. It is a tried and trued platform in overseas markets. And the engine is not new. It’s has a long history of reliability. Not a fanboy on either side. It’s a truck, not my friend. Both have flaws. Both have pluses. The aftermarket is better for the Tacoma.
There is a guy on youtube with 300K on his 3rd gen Tacoma. Long term reliability will always be Toyotas stronghold.
@@westcoastplinkin6559 I once got 300k out of an S10. One S10 that I can confirm. Doesn’t mean anyone else should form a cult over it. They’re machinery. If you want an investment, own property. They all make decent trucks now. Interestingly, as I type this from Uruguay, I’ve seen about the same amount of Amroks, Hilux, and Rangers here. Only pointing that out because none of the three were available in North America for a long time and now only the Ranger is. In a culture where they don’t identify as their vehicles, the three seem to have even footing, even though the Ranger and VW are built on the same platform. P.S. I now own a 2023 Frontier in Maryland. It too isn’t worth making a cult out of, yet people still do.
LOL get a car wash
@@WhiskeyDeanRides I am not brand loyal. I just use what has always worked for me, that has been Toyota. All my Toyotas I have owned have been high mileage. My first car, happened to be GM, and it left me stranded every year I owned it. After I switched to Toyota, I have never been left stranded. That was back in 2014. Not saying Toyotas don't break down but why would I switch brands if Toyotas have always been reliable for me? I do not care about the interior, or having a fast car, or having fancy technology, all I care about is if I can depend on it or not, and for my personal experience, Toyota is definitely a brand I can depend on. Like you said, they are machines at the end of the day. You use what works for you.
I even reward Toyota by buying only from them because they did a good job for me@@westcoastplinkin6559
I it was a ranger tremor vs trd Tacoma then I would say the tremor for su4e
If i wasnt worried about gas milage and space, i would go tacoma. Body roll on the ranger is real. But the tacoma does feel pretty sluggish. Just drive it and see what you like
I bought a tacome on 2021 and super happy with that and i am 52, expect my tacome will last 25 years, it is most likely my last car❤
Very nice comparison, not mushy or macho.
TEAM RANGER!
Ranger is my choice. I love mine.
My 2020 Ranger takes care of business without issue. The 2023 Ranger Raptor will be the King of Midsize Trucks. The Taco interior looks like the 1990s. Once again a Car Magazine picking a Toyota. Imagine that. Taco can’t tow as much as the Ranger. Taco box sides are shorter means it doesn’t carry as much and it is harder to haul tall items. Ranger all day.
Resale value for the ford still absolutely tanks cause they all fall apart and have temperamental engines.
I drove my 03 6 banger Tacoma to 400k miles, had a recall on the frame in like 2011 or something like that so I did get a fresh frame, aside from that nothing but expected suspension replacement at about 200k . It was used daily for both my dads dairy farm and my rental properties. Beat the ever living shit outta it and it never failed me.. Today it still runs somewhere near a half million miles. It’s starting to fall apart but it also never leaves the corn field for even a second. I now daily a Prius because … no hate… but I just don’t see any reason to drive a truck back and forth to my desk job lmao
I will add I reeeealy like the look of these new rangers. But my father would disown me
@@dicktracy6597 Your Tacoma did it have the manual transmission???
@@es-qf2gw surprisingly not, the trans has been limping along for the last 5 years lol
On the market for a used mid size truck like these. Seems like there’s plenty of tacomas but not many rangers looks like people are holding on to them.
You forgot the most important thing who's the faster 🤣🤣🤣
TOYOTA TACOMA ANY TIMES AND ANY DAYS
Which one last over 200k?
Tacoma is better for off-road adventurous lifestyles and the ranger is better for on road/construction work
You never mentioned reliability and resale value. Two major points.
Tacoma all day long!
Towing and gas mileage are everything
Don’t forget reliability
#TeamRanger
And both of them come with Gloomy Grey interior colors that was popular in 1990. Modern trucks with 32 year old upholstery.
It’s the same truck. Just like the Nissan and the Ranger were. You can’t hide the roof line and underpinnings.
I had a bad experience with a new 2020 ranger so I sold it for a Tacoma. Both trucks had issues. The Toyota dealership takes more care of you compared to ford. Toyota backs their product more after they are driven off the lot.
Just some feedback. The Ford Ranger equivalent to TRD Off Road is the Tremor not the XLT. Great review on both trucks. I am a Ford guy but Toyota has this category on lock
Team Ranger!!
Honestly I have bad luck with Toyotas I want the ranger but I can get aprove to buy one
In this video, the skies were gloomy grey. The trucks matched the sky. The interiors were also gloomy grey.
It’s no wonder why so many people are depressed. What happened to the reds, blues, tan metallic exterior colors with inviting interior colors?
lets compare a tacoma and ranger after 200k miles lets see whats really the better truck
Make all the comparisons you want the Tacoma will still be on the road with a great resale value long after that Ranger is dead and gone smashed in a junk yard somewhere. Proof you see 2000-2004 Tacoma’s on the road today all the time. How many 2000-2004 Rangers do you see on the road today???
I COMPLETELY AGREE!! Toyota will and DO outlast ANY Ford vehicles!!!
I'm in Southern California and I see PLENTY of 2000-2004 or earlier Rangers in the road by me used by gardeners for years, they don't have meticulous maintenance work done either.
@@MaestroJericho Yeah you might see one or two totally beat to hell Rangers on the road compared to about 20 Tacoma’s that are still in much better shape, still being used as passenger cars rather than a gardeners POS that just gets him around the neighborhood. lol I can still take my Tacoma on the freeway or on a road trip or even an off road trip. The one POS Ranger you can manage to find still running isn’t going there. And Toyota’s don’t require much maintenance. That is kind of the point of them. Get real.
@@eaglestryker1338 Tell that to the thousands and thousands of people who use their Tacoma’s off road every day. The Tacoma has become a standard in off roading kind of like the Jeep has become the standard for rock crawling. Only difference is the Tacoma is much more reliable than a Jeep so Less costly tow outs for the Tacoma
@@eaglestryker1338 Feelings and a 400-500 thousand mile lifespan that will easily leave the Ranger in the dust. My 99 Ranger lost a tranny at 99k. Then had an ‘04 Mach 1!Mustang lose a tranny at 13k. Still under warranty. Never bought another Ford again. My 2004 Tacoma is still going strong to this day on the original tranny and just about everything else. Yes the Ranger has more power and room it also has the potential for lots of problems down the road while the Tacoma will go for ever. I admit I used to buy cars for comfort until I got tired of blown Ford Trannies 04 Mach 1 Mustang lost at 13k still under warranty so O bought a Tacoma and it’s way tougher and longer lasting than any Ford Ranger and that is a fact and quantifiable as there are still thousands of them on the road compared to a handful of Rangers still working as gardeners trucks.
How about reliability? Tacoma wins.
Ranger ranked ahead of Taco and Ridgeline for reliability. Sometimes the internet is wrong..
@@adamharris2674 LMFAO!
@@stay4theride You can laugh all you want...all the way to the dealership to get yo Taco fixed..
@@adamharris2674 I have never seen a Tacoma on the shop but to get bigger tires and a lift lol 😂
@@Jb10197 well GD since you’ve never seen it guess that means I don’t happen! Lol
I like the Toyota Tacoma. Number 1 truck in Hawaii!!
Taco is easy on the eye, will last until the end of time even though it’s slow. The ford obviously has more power, not as easy on the eye, will prob cost more for maintenance… If power is not an issue the damn Tacoma all the way.
No, you don’t rest your case; the ford ranger looks like a sedan fusion got sliced in half and someone added a bed, literally has the ugliest f**kin front in the lineup. But hey, to each their own right? 😏 also when it comes to dependability, toyota out classes the ford in every aspect; there’s a reason ford has a reputation and joke in the auto industry as ( FOUND ON ROAD DEAD) so, the fact that the auto industry clowns on your so called precious brand also the dependability sh*ts all over ford. But hey again, to each their Own….:)
And to add on top of it, the frame the body is peanuts compare to American made Tacomas and tundras, I see countless videos on CZcams how fords get banged up pretty good by cars twice as small, like a Prius for example. And ONLY THE FORDS 😆 looks like quality has also gone down the crapper here bud. Sure the Tacoma may not have the best and fancy interior but at least the overall frame and engine is bullet proof.
Ok, so one thing I want to get clear is that you just said you were In a head on collision with this titan and your “side” was crushed? Hmm interesting was it one side or both? I just really need to understand your logic here 🤣 because unless you hit a side wall or battered in from a side/front collision there’s no way in hell your “side” would be crushed in. So was it one or both? Having a hard time believing this little tale of yours. And hey, like I said, I feel just the same way with the fords. And I used to like em, but they’ve really gone down the crapper and not only that but the brand itself is in a lot of economical doo-doo and they’re pushing EVs faster than they’re producing the infamous Ford F-150 “military grade” 🤣🤣 I actually know someone who’s worked at the ford plant in Detroit and he said they couldn’t pay him enough to go work back there.
I’ll be honest with you because when it comes to vehicles I like to be upfront when talking to people about it or my mechanic. I have never ever in my entire 38 years of living had an issue with a ford model prior to 1999… Toyotas I’ve owned 3.. NEVER had an issue with the transmission or overall any mechanical/electrical issue. My grandfather ran a old model Toyota pickup 800,000 miles and he still owns it! I’ve had excellent fords from 1994-1999 models that ran spectacular. Now In todays world, Toyotas are notorious for their dependable engine/electrical reliability, the Japanese know their stuff! American made cars have lost their way. It’s sad because they truly were the crown jewel in the industry. Ford f150s have become cheap aluminum trucks with a half ass chassis with most materials out of china. Not to mention an aluminum block. Toyota runs a cast iron engine on the tacomas and withstand heat a lot better than the ford trucks. But overall! I’m not going to bad mouth you and your opinion on ford. I like Toyota you like ford. We can leave it at that
@@johnappleseed9290woah, that was a lot. One minute you called Tacomas and Tundras “American made”, the next minute you’re saying you won’t bad mouth someone for their opinion immediately after bad mouthing them for their opinion.
Toyotas are great for reliability and dependability, I’ll give you that. But when it comes to doing actual truck things like towing, they’re awful. Horrendous mpg, slow af, very expensive when something does break, and notorious for being one of the most uncomfortable trucks on the market. They’re also extremely outdated and very overrated compared to other mid sizes.
If you’re going to bash Ford and list all of the cons from Ford, then at least do the same for Toyota. In other words, stop skewing your argument in favor of Toyota just to make Toyota sound more appealing…. 😂
2023 Tacoma!!!!!!
I prefer the ranger.
I am a Toyota person. My truck is 29 years old, T100 4wd. I use it as a work truck. 155K. My Toyota Camry has 136K and I bought it 2009. I have never had it in the shop for repair. Toyota all of the way!!
lol....everything goes 150k these days. 250k is the new 150k.
Good lord I hate touchscreen stuff in cars. It is just too much, I miss my buttons. But I suppose that is just me
The ford ranger standes.no chase
Drove both: 2022 Ranger and 2023 Tacoma and here's what I found:
The RANGER is more fun to drive, more responsive and feels like a sporty car that sits up high; however, it comes with an uneven suspension and a clunk thanks to ford's quality control; you will feel this clunk when going over speed bumps or potholes.
The TACOMA feels more like a truck: heavier and more solid; its not that responsive, is not a fast truck for sure but rest assured it will outlast the ranger...so at least you get that.
Tacoma
New rangers are cool, but I'll stick with my Toyota. The new rangers are definitely not like they used to, as for everything ford.
For those saying Tacomas for reliability. They’re not perfect they break too
Color options suck. Crew cab long bed isn't available on the Ranger and very hard to find on the Tacoma.
cactus grey is really nice
Why don’t you just set that ranger on fire damn
Ranger SON
DEFINITELY team Tacoma. Also longevity & dependability must go to Tacoma as well. (Thus higher resale value)😏
Biased everyday all day
Get the Ranger Tremor
Tacoma. I have 1 and love it.
With Tacoma I know I can do 200k miles easy but the rest maybe. Just see the resale price at market. Toyota forever.
Hmmmm. A Tacoma that won't break down, can sell for more than I paid for it or a Ford thats known for breakdowns and depreciates faster than almost any other brand. No contest here. If the Ford was $10k less than the Tacoma I'd consider it.
I have a Tacoma. But I’d say that Chevys are known more for breaking down than Ford is. 🤷🏻♂️
Ranger all day every day
At the shop lmao 🤣

I've owned a Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Nissan all trucks. Sorry America, but Toyota has got you all beat. Some may ask why haven't you owned a dodge. To you folks, I say, why would I ever own a dodge? There is a reason why dodge has never been the #1 selling automobile company in America. 💩 💩 💩
LOL....I had a 2006 Dodge Durango. Drove it around 200k miles, and only work done was a 1 water pump in all that time. Was a GREAT vehicle. People still living in the 80's when American cars really were crap. It's a tired old tripe now.
@AJTramberg that's because it still holds true. But, if you don't like that one, let's look at how many are still on the road. I don't see many 06 dodge durangos on the road anymore. In fact, i haven't seen maney on the road in 2010, but I see a bunch of tacomas from 2006 on the road and still going strong. I had a 92 tocoma that went 420,000+ miles with no problems. In 2012, it started to nickel and dime me to death. 2014 bought a new one. In 10 years, all I've had to do is fluid changes, tires, air filters, and sparkplugs.
Taco offers a stick. Nuff said on fun
Turbos wear out....
Smaller yes, more affordable? LOL
How to choose between them ?
One of them is a ford ...lol
One is a Totota ..done
The Toyota outsells all the rest 3 to 1 for a reason, thats why i bought one. Its just better. The Tacoma is getting an update soon and will be blowing the Ford and Chevy away.
Smart thinking sir 👍
The Ford and Chevy mid size trucks actually have more room and are more comfortable inside and the interior looks better which is a concern for someone like me who is 6 foot 5. Problem is the Toyota will still be on the road long after the other two are smashed in a junk yard somewhere.
@@bigmacfullerton7870 The interior is a subjective opionion obviously because i puposely rented both a chevy and ranger. They both use cheap plastics which is obvious and has been commented on by many reviews. The interior space i will concede is a little more in both. I used to be a full time mechanic and there is no way that the Ford and Chevy are better as reliability and longevity. Period. Show me proof otherwise. Toyota has had a reputation for over 40 years for amazing reliability
@@bigmacfullerton7870 it’s been known for many years by any mechanic and you can just ask one that Japanese cars are just more reliable. Look at consumer reports and that will tell you. Also I am a Chevy guy I had several hot rods, but I could work on them Easily. I just didn’t get many Toyotas in my shop except for routine maintenance or stuff wearing out from long time usage.
@@briansalisbury4764 Again, third time. lol I said the Toyota will still be on the road long after the ford and chevy are smashed in a junk yard somewhere. I know they are more reliable as I still have a 2004 Tacoma 4x4 that is still going strong to this day. I had a 1999 Ranger once that lost the tranny at 100K and a Mustang that lost a tranny at 18K. Never bought a Ford again
team ranger...not a fan of that toyota grill / front end either...
Wtf Corey?cornfield
Tacoma definitely
Tacoma for the win! 👍
"Before we get into it...like and subscribe"? Kinda like asking someone what they think of your cooking before they've even tasted it. Or, tell me how these shoes fit before trying them on. Awfully presumptuous of you.
One is MADE IN USA, other one is not. nuff said.

The ranger isnt bad.
The difference is the Toyota is gay.
Ranger is my choice
tacoma all the way the Toyota will run circles around that Ford hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles are proven on Toyota
Tacoma all day everyday.
