Is anyone really surprised with the results. Out of the 3 the rangers has the most reliable engine and frame.

[@RobertJohnson-gy9ky]

@danLTa1 was. Not "Is" anymore. They gave us a small turbo 4cyl that nobody wanted, which resulted in less power and less reliability. And to add insult to injury, they reduced the cab by 3.1". All while increasing the price tag and moving all production to Mexico, which saved 80% of labor costs compared to when they produce them here in the US. Thus, adding another slap in the face to the American people by still jacking up the price despite all of their new savings. To add further insult, the quality control is practically non-existent in their Mexico plant, which is causing them to have HUGE gaps in body panels. Their TRD PRO model runs the same price with the Colorado ZR2 and Canyon AT4x and produces less of everything from power to off-road capabilities. It's officially a parking lot crawler.

[@cdogg22]

I’m sure someone already mentioned this but I’m too lazy to read all the comments…but as the owner of multiple Raptors (full size Raptors) the side steps are there to block gravel sized rocks from flying up and hitting your fenders and chipping your paint. Since most Raptor owners prefer high speed trails over rock crawling (as this is what the truck is designed for) the benefit of the steps protections your truck from flying rocks outweighs the drawback of lost clearance when rock crawling. So I would definitely not agree that these “need to come off immediately”. Just my two cents…

[@munch2048]

Good point .I just bought the RR and not really in to rock crawling .

Not sure why people keep comparing the Bison to the Raptor and TRD pro. Especially a race. Use a regular ZR2. Lighter. Quicker and a better direct comparison.

[@99-Zulu]

Agreed, the Bison has about 300 lbs more than the regular ZR2. It would probably help by a half second or so in the dirt drag race part. But in the baja part of the video it would help exponentially. Granted I wouldn't complain if they were to stick the 3.0tt from the old CT6. Where it had 404 hp and 400 lb-ft of tq.

[@rod7434]

[@99-Zulu]

​@@rod7434 Trucks this size doesn't really need more than 400 hp. Power-wise it's on par with the Ranger Raptor. In just the regular ZR2 it would have almost a 400 lbs weight advantage over the Raptor.

[@jaredmeche6325]

EVERY reviewer has slept on the base ZR2. Fairly certain Toyota won't let them put TRD-Off Road against base ZR2, despite them being within $1k of each other once adding 8spd auto, predator steps, and bedliner to TRD-Off Road. That is standard base build on 24 Tacoma TRD Off Road before anyone tries to come at me with the "it's base is actually $42k...". The ZR2 base would have been a much closer race using Baja Mode launch control. The difference in powertrain is even smaller when you take into consideration the Colorado ZR2 comes with 3.43 gears, while Ranger Raptor has 4.27 gears. Why GM put such a lazy ratio in ZR2, let alone Bison, I don't know.

[@iwazaru8101]

If you are a true fan of the ZR2 Bison (or if you own one), you wouldn't get hung up over the 0-60 comparison because that metric is completely immaterial to what the Bison is built for.

[@kenoday7562]

Sorry. Having been in the tire biz for 27 years, I would NOT recommend going from a LR C to a LR E. It still only has THREE sidewall plies. They're beefier, but the reasoning for it is to hold more air pressure and carry more weight. On the road, you can't use that carrying capacity as it will exceed the suspension capacity. Also, running the LR E at lower air pressures will create more sidewall heat. And being heavier, the LR E will lower your gas mileage.

[@Brian-og4uu]

They're less likely to puncture on sharp rocks, which is the biggest reason I put an E-range KO2 on my Tacoma. It did lower the fuel economy, though, and the front end wanders on the freeway even though it's completely stock otherwise.

The Bison is getting retuned to produce more hp and torque for 2025. Nobody talks about the dealer markups on the Raptor.

[@Sloimer]

Is that a fact?

[@MrJ38]

FORD Just realized a retune for the Ranger and Bronco Raptor, adding 455hp and 500 ish torque.

[@9002-bv9xz]

So one thing I’ve spotted across various reviews of the TRD Pro…and it’s really only obvious if the driver has the cluster setup to show the iForce Turbo and iForce MAX digital gauges. Basically, the hybrid battery only holds enough charge to assist in one major acceleration event…evident by the blue dial indicator. If another full throttle acceleration is conducted immediately after, or say you are repeatedly accelerating through corners on a highway…there won’t be enough charge in the battery to continue providing hybrid assist…and if you look closely, you’ll see the blue MAX gauge stays flat. The iForce turbo gauge will show boost…but you truly need both systems to get maximum power. Otherwise is just the standard output of the 2.4 T24A. SO…I think they did the 1/4 mile on a depleted hybrid battery, because the acceleration time was similar to the GM 2.7T. And even though the 2.7T makes more power and torque than the 2.4…the Tacoma has remarkably low driveline power loss with low rpm torque, and basically is equally as quick as a Colorado 2.7T. I’ve seen these results in 0-60 comparisons. So the Hybrid Max system is basically only good for a quick thrill before needing to be regeneratively recharged !!

[@NemeanLion-]

I don’t think the Ranger Raptor needs to change anything. It’s a Baja vehicle first and a rock crawler second. If you start putting a lift kit and bigger tires you’re starting to take away its strengths.

Pro4x would have been last in every category. Until nissan updates that old powertrain and chassis it will always be last

[@TheReal_JG]

@@beexiong2995 Frontier hasn't been last at everything unless 0-60 times is that important to a buyer. The powertrain has been in production since 2021, and the chassis was never a problem. It's properly built as a mid-size work truck. Overall reliability has been second to none, and even more so, considering the new Tacoma isn't fairing too well from blown engines and parts snapping easily.

[@0HOON0]

The Frontier Pro-4X is $20,000 less than the Toyota!

[@beexiong2995]

@@TheReal_JG powertrain was introduced in the last gen truck 2019. Carryover to this "refresh".

[@beexiong2995]

@@0HOON0 well yeah. It's the oldest truck on the market. Priced the same as the last gen tacoma which it benchmarked the old tacoma. Why would anybody pay more money for an old truck. Nissan knows this

The ZR2 also has a launch mode you can access when you go into the right mode and turn off all the things. I have yet to see anyone use it yet and have t tried it in m4 24 ZR2. Would like to see it in action

I actually thought you were going to have Ranger bias if I were looking today the Ranger is what I would buy and I do believe you scored them exactly correct thank you for your work In my opinion, overall the Ranger is the best truck between those three ,and I am a GMC guy.

[@AaronGibson-mp9bi]

Great review. I don't know why people have to be sexist. Every truck review has guys yelling the whole time. She shows some enthusiasm for the comparison and guys are saying she's yelling and can't listen. People need to check themselves and leave their sexism at the door. This was an excellent review. Keep up the good work.

Sand mode was the mode for use in the tacoma for this. It changes the shift timing. The Q3 fox shocks in taco needed to be adjusted and the seats were probably not adjusted for your weight and maybe not set on in off road mode.

[@atg1338]

Blah blah blah... anyone who says taco should be kicked in the balls!

Add 10-15k to the prices she put out due to DEALER mark ups.

[@MdeLongpre]

plenty of ranger raptors at msrp now, but not sure about the other two trucks

[@treydrier3169]

Nice job Emme! Ignore the bigots here. I found your evaluation to be very informative. For me (I live in Florida) I couldn't care less about rock climbing so the Raptors 'baja' mode is intriguing. One other thing to mention regarding the Raptor (not sure about the Tacoma or ZR2) is you can lay flat a 4'x8' plywood, drywall sheet, etc. Honestly, that's really important in my part of the world where we help our neighbors after hurricanes. I currently have a 2021 Gladiator Mojave. Its great for Florida because its a convertible truck but I'm getting tired of the bouncy ride and the loose steering. If I buy something else I will miss taking the doors and roof off but my wife hates it. Plus its not the most reliable truck on the road. I've had a few weird things happen with the Gladiator's electronics and aux battery.

[@Subaruguy-i3w]

Jokes aside, I really like this presenter! She seems likes a family friend that's knowledgeable about trucks and off-roading.

[@CR-vh3yv]

Did she pay you to say that? I have always thought she was the most annoying automotive personality on KZbin although I will admit this video was easier to watch than all the other videos I have seen her in.

If you want all around offroad capability the ZR2 is the way to go. If you want to race around on dirt the Raptor has it.

[@Deatomizer]

[@tahoecamper5078]

Ranger Raptor needs cooled seats and a larger fuel tank! Only thing stopping me from purchasing one.

Once again: in this class is Ranger Raptor and everyone else. If the Raptor proves to be really toughte, Ford has hit the ten! (And a retractable step in the facelift...)

[@mattspaulding7488]

Ya totally

[@terryyarrington8271]

ZR2 Bison by a mile...not even close. The ZR2 should have been used in this comparison and that's even better! The only thing the Ranger Raptor is better is the powertrain that Ford went with. GM should have went with a V6 turbo but the 2.7 turbo they use is not bad.The ZR2 is the best value at around $52k loaded. The best all arounder as well. The ZR2 Bison should have been a small block V8 with a 10 speed automatic to keep it different than the ZR2 and justify it's $65k price tag.
