2024 Ford Ranger vs 2024 Toyota Tacoma | What's The Best Midsized Truck?

[@KTown_Painter]

I chose Tacoma TRD Sport as I am loyal to Toyota. I think it's the best looking midsize exterior and arguably the best interior. Coming from a gen3 Taco I'm thoroughly happy with the improvements.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Me too! A lot of great improvements over my 3rd gen! Can’t wait for mine!

2024 Ford Ranger The Ford Ranger T6 has been popular in most countries outside North America since 2012 to 2021. Available in various trim levels such as Wildtrak, Limited, Raptor, XL and XLT, the Southeast Asian version is pretty much assembled in Thailand before exporting it straight to most countries, including Malaysia. Does the North American model have the optional 2.0L twin-turbodiesel inline-4 engine?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice. We don't have the diesel engine here. But the two V6 EcoBoost engines are available

[@adamsonsmlpg4songs2024]

@@BrosFOURRSpeedAw, man! It's too bad not to have a twin-turbodiesel 2.0L inline-4!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@adamsonsmlpg4songs2024 Would be cool!

[@Fernando-t8g]

Ranger. More bang for buck, reliable engine and way better interior.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Definitely a great value. I love the screens. Just a bit cheap feeling on the top of the dash. And the fabric isn't as nice as Tacoma. So I think Tacoma is nicer. But the Ranger could be spec'd nicer for still a lower price.

[@scurjaldan5349]

Nothing about Ford is reliable.

[@TheHerennow1]

Ranger is a ripoff. Reliability is shit. It looks stupid. No one wants one. I put a grand down to get on a wait list last Sept. Like thousands of other people! for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma i-FORCE MAX Hybrid. TRD off road. - 326 Hp 460 ft lbs. of torque! And up to 30 mpg.

[@TheHerennow1]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Tacoma has led the midsize pickup segment in sales for nearly 20 years. Nothing else close.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@TheHerennow1 I know that, my brother has owned two of them lol he’s ready for his 3rd one.

[@planoman0935]

Nice Video! I went with the 2024 Tacoma Off Road Premium! The antennas on the Ranger and Colorado remind me of old school antennas. Why do I feel like they are just waiting to break in a car wash?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh Nice! Great spec to go with. Yeah crazy to see a metal antenna on a modern vehicle

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Don't feel bad because a lot of others are on the fence between these two. Imagine if you can do a comparison between the Raptor and TRD Pro, that would pop off real quick!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that'd be cool to test the top level trucks one day!

[@SD-ol9os]

Great video. My pick is the Ranger.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Why?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Not a bad option. Good value

[@SD-ol9os]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I like the interior of the Ranger, the vertical stack for the infotainment. I sat in one at a car show in Denver and the Ranger was more comfortable than the Tacoma.

2024 Toyota Tacoma: Best truck I can buy.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's a sweet truck overall!

[@dridi5964]

😂😂😂😂

[@MrHand-ih4sz]

After careful consideration, I went with the Colorado. 😊

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that is a strong contender. I like the new Canyon. Hopefully I can check one out soon and do a comparison

[@mcruz4467]

Great review!. Tacoma for me but........pricewise, a little dissapointed!.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's a bit up there. Refreshing to see the sub $40k price on the Ranger!

[@mcruz4467]

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@mcruz4467 yeah but not everyone needs or wants a full size. I have no need for that.

[@Jassman3536]

We just bought the ford Ranger. Best bang for the buck with a larger cabin, best seats and comfort, tows 7500 and the tech I liked better with a clearer screen. GMC Canyon was a close second, Colorado, Frontier and Tacoma finished last cause it was loud at freeway speeds and was the most expensive with way too much plastic on the interior.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you enjoy it, I can’t wait for the Tacoma.

[@dwrolltide]

How the heck do you have a cloth interior on a 48K vehicle!?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah you need a very expensive package to get the nice seats unfortunately

[@lc7192]

Good review!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Cool to check these out side by side!

[@ThomasVMan]

I’d pick the Ranger.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Why?

[@ThomasVMan]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I like the conservative looks more, the larger backseat room, and the overall design.

[@JOHN-uj4zg]

Tacoma looks so beastly 🥹

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It does!

[@driftx2]

I drove the 2024 tacoma and 2021 ranger (they didnt have a 24 ranger). The tacoma has more low end torque but overall I think i liked the ranger better. Road noise lower and i wasnt really a fan of the tacoma interior.

[@driftx2]

Ended up buying a Tacoma love it!! Lol

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad that's what you enjoy! I'm going tacoma!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet!

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

Tacoma highest selling midsized truck in America for 20 years. 😊

[@karlhenry2328]

More competition is now available!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's been on top! We'll see if it can hang on to that title with the good competitors now available!

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

S-10 chevy, Colorado, Ranger, Dodge Dakota have all been around as competition. Still Tacoma holds the top spot.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Some of those haven't been in production for decades! But the newest generation Ranger, Colorado, Canyon and Frontier are all pretty strong competitors. I think GM is making a great truck now. Hopefully I can check one out!

[@uowebfoot]

Doesn't mean it's better. People are dumb.

[@dridi5964]

Ranger anyday ❤

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Tacoma any day!

[@cipitm1]

2.7 V6 is available now for Ranger! I ll wait for reviews with this engine! Tacoma with 4 bangers ..not for me!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah hope to check it our and maybe compare it to the Hybrid Tacoma

[@roaddog7]

I like the Ranger, but the front end is dog ugly, and a bed liner wouldn't hurt, spray in or installed.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Both great options! I like the tacoma a bit more!

[@paulwatson4189]

You compared a sport ranger with a higher optioned tacoma. The lariat ranger should have been used and are priced right next to each other. When equally optioned the ranger interior is way ahead in looks and quality over the tacoma. The tacoma has a old blocky gm look to it.. You said the tacoma felt stronger when actually the ranger is faster and shifts smoother. You said the tacoma's transmission was rougher and justified it as standard truck qualities ? The engine noise was worse on the tacoma but you cited that as a good thing. Again ? The ranger can fit a sheet of plywood/drywall between the fenders and lay flat allowing it to haul way more material than the tacoma. The ranger can tow more than the tacoma and has more rear seat leg room. You said the tacoma's rear seat was to low than said both are equally comfortable? The ranger has more selections of drive modes and a rear locking diff and the tacoma doesn't. You said the ranger doesn't have rear vents than later admitted the tacoma doesn't either. The way you said tacoma at the start of the video we knew what you liked better. If you want to review seriously you need to compare apples to apples and not at a 15 grand split making one brand look good while making the other look drab. You failed to mention the tacoma's tranny problems with this new release and some turbo trouble also. I say all of this to say I own a older 4.0 4 by 4 off rd tacoma truck but the ranger tops the new tacoma on almost every detail. Review honestly with out bias to be taken seriously next time.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Like i said in this video, it wasn't a comparison of the trim levels, I talked about that...when these are the only two trucks on the lot because of inventory, I don't have an option to pick...so I used these to go over specs. Buy what you'll enjoy, just showing the differences. I've never even owned either, so can't be biased...A personal preference is not being biased...there's a difference.

[@Njrebel68]

I have 24 ranger on order i had a tacoma years ago great running truck but everything else fell apart around the motor

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What fell apart and also how old was the truck? My brothers had two Tacoma and ready for the 4th gen!

[@MrHand-ih4sz]

Oh...that air dam on the Tacoma is just hideous.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

For real! Definitely would pop that off day one

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Why?

[@marcolcorreia]

50k for that Tacoma with no power seats....joke. Tacoma looks cheap inside

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can option for power seats.

[@marklihsu]

​@@BrosFOURRSpeedI think you missed the point being a taco fanboy. $45k in XLT gets you powered seats along with power sliding rear window, off-road, tow tech packages and rear locker. $50k in taco plus more for powered seats. Powered seats! This is 2024...

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@marklihsu you can get a Tacoma with power seats for $45K, look that up first..they seem to range between $45-50 depending on options. You get a turn key in the XLT..for 2024, I’d rather have push button and manual seats, than a turn key..

Ford has to make a manual ranger... stop being soft

[@braamkotze473]

Toyota looks old already, really cheap plastic and shitty buttons. The Ranger is the better truck objectively. And now Toyota isn't even reliable anymore. Ranger hands down

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I wouldn’t say it looks old..the “better” truck is subjective. Ranger is cool but I’m going Tacoma! Can’t wait! I think it’s the better truck!

[@braamkotze473]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ranger has better payload, better tow rating and built in features for towing. Customizable screen, and better screen quality. Better cameras, and camera quality aswell. The screen is even better integrated in the dash, and rear camera that's not even in the center on the Tacoma, and all the fake vents. I could go on, but it's clear you're bias... And all that for less money. Ford wins, hands down. But enjoy it

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@braamkotze473 Both have max payload around 1,700. Yrs the Ranger can tow a bit more. But anyone towing more than 6k pounds anyways should be buying a full size truck.
