2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid - This or the 2024 Ford Ranger?

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma finally sees a new generation and its arrived in style. With both gasoline and hybrid engine options, a functional interior and plenty of trims, including the new Trailhunter, Toyota has served up another winner.
We spent a few hours in this pre-production model as part of a first-drive program from Toyota Canada and a mix of city, highway and rural driving.
Are you taking the 2024 all-new Toyota Tacoma Hybrid over the 2024 all-new Ford Ranger?

Nice video. Good thing to keep in mind is that while it is expensive for a truck, you aren't just getting the truck. You're getting a ton of aftermarket goodies cheaper than you otherwise would have, not paying for the labor that you would have had to pay for if you got those installed by someone else, and you have it all under warranty and ready to go straight from the lot. It isn't for everyone, but personally, I find it worth the money.

[@Modern.Motoring]

Very well said!

[@ninj3x687]

I’d love another taco, but dang & dadgum those prices…

I’m a Toyota/Lexus guy and I’m going with the Ranger Raptor here.

[@brian17411]

I've been watching a lot of new Tacoma videos and I still haven't seen a comment excited to buy it lol

[@seanh2390]

great review … I think I would get the limited model as I like the full time all wheel drive feature.

[@Modern.Motoring]

Thanks!!!! That’s a solid choice, Sean.

[@qbanlink25]

Can't wait to get me one of these mid next year, hopefully some of the small quirks like rattling glove box will be worked out by then and prices will correct to the actual demand. Just have to see which color scheme they come out with for 2025.

[@Modern.Motoring]

Let us know when you get it!

[@RayHill1108]

Maybe I missed it, does it require premium fuel or will regular suffice.

[@nazspeed1]

Any really but I'd recommend premium for any vehicle if you want it to last.....it's not just the fuel it's the additive package added to it. Not to mention the added performance and efficiency of cleaner burning higher octane.

[@alexsmba]

@@nazspeed1thats a load of bullshit. never heard of a vehicle not lasting just because the owner didn't run it on premium when it wasn't required. lol continue wasting your money if you must.

[@usnferrell]

I’ll get the Taco 🌮

[@Modern.Motoring]

🌮

[@paulhenry913]

What's the longevity going to be with the Max?

[@Modern.Motoring]

Good Q!

[@Thankyou_3]

Neither! How about a 20 year old Ranger and a Tacoma…bulletproof…old is gold.

[@martin4749]

You misspoke just a bit at 2:45. I doubt the truck will even let you switch to four low on the fly, but it would never be recommended unless you want to blow up a transmission.

[@jamesnicol3831]

charming despite the weather

[@Modern.Motoring]

Thank you, James! Winter just couldn’t stay away in early April.

[@nazspeed1]

If that price doesn't go down i might have to wait till next year untill it stabilizes 65k i might just buy a ranger raptor for less...

[@Modern.Motoring]

👀

[@ragnarok400]

i think prices on new vehicles are just going to keep going up. im going for the trailhunter for the longer bed and the old man emu. im planning on throwing a camper on the truck and i dont feel like buying a different truck and having to mod it out with aftermarket suspension, tires, snorkel, rock sliders, power brake.

[@sammy-gd7hw]

Rho,or raptor I think are better choices. I have a 2022 trd sport. I adjusted the throttle response, dropped a 4k Magnusson super charger in it. Truck after tax 49,000 +4000 =53,000. 371 bhp and about 380 torque. The current trd pro is around 64k. So a $64,000 +mark up let's be conservative and say $5000. P.ush shipping $1500 and tax of what 10.3%. Your over 80k. This truck extremely heavy and that negates the acceleration in it. It's not much quicker then stock. Great truck for around 55k. Tfl did a review on this and was not impressed.

[@healer81]

I'm a Toyota person and there is no justification to get the taco over the ranger. For me it's the ranger. The cool TRD seat doesn't cover the difference. Ranger also has more leg space in the back.

[@Modern.Motoring]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@americandude3825]

I’ll never support ford again. They sold out and donated millions to Biden. They also ran “our trucks are super gay” ads all over yt

[@Armalite223]

I was so looking forward to getting one of these. The price is way too high.

[@cpftank09]

I’m a Toyota nerd, but they are way too expensive for a compact pickup. You can get a nice 1/2 ton for that kind of money. Like I’ve always said. You have to really WANT a Tacoma, because you’re not getting better fuel economy or more space for the same as a 1/2 ton. Especially now, the value isn’t there with the new Tacoma.

[@Modern.Motoring]

[@h2beezy2]

For the money you could even get a ranger raptor

[@2151abell]

He Likes BIG Buttons and he can not Lie.... 🙂

[@Modern.Motoring]

Haha

[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

No one can afford these anymore cuh 👍🏾

[@healer81]

The new Tacoma still hasnt proved itself so I would say the Tacoma and the Ranger are starting from the same place. In fact you can argue the ranger v6 is less complicated and easier to fix when something goes wrong.

[@yourkoreanbuddy1]

Neither. I’ll take the V6 Frontier 😊

[@Modern.Motoring]

👀

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

I really like the Tacoma but I don't think they offer any value for the price. I'm not interested in full size truck prices. The Ford Ranger Lariat for $56,500 would make a really nice overall package at a somewhat reasonable price.

[@virgfresco1403]

Fully loaded Lariat only at $52,000 the most! Great value. 👍👍👍

[@sunchaser999]

Neither…5k more for a RHO

[@codylee4053]

People....... it's 60-80 grand for a small truck! "But you get some fun stuff". Nothing and I mean nothing is worth that price especially a midsize truck. No matter how much "fun" it is. You can go buy a 90's tacoma and build it your way and still only spend less then half the price for this. Way over priced!

[@induction7895]

Too overpriced.

[@g7003041]

As current Tacoma onwer, surely will pick Ranger over the 24 Tacoma. Too bad Toyota thinking they are high end or Luxury truck compare to others. Sorry Toyota.

[@dexterfrancis2905]

Overpriced!!!!

[@marklihsu]

1230lb payload 🤡

[@virgfresco1403]

After a Taco transmission fiasco at TFL and many others, Ranger all day!

[@Modern.Motoring]

👀

[@martin4749]

It wasn’t the transmission. It was the front differential but I see your point.

[@virgfresco1403]

@@martin4749 Another excuses fan boy.

[@joshm9003]

They've had problems with the ranger in Australia too.

[@joshm9003]

Theres a few videos on KZbin - Angry customers call out Ford over lemon cars | A Current Affair MY Raptor's diff is BROKEN!! Ownership update...plus the other stuff they fixed

What an overrated and overpriced piece of bull crap😂
