The Ford Ranger is legendary in truck circles! How soon ppl forget. Most truck guys knew when Ford brought back a new Ranger it would be class leading. I bought '19 Ranger XLT FX4 an love it. Very impressive all around. Ford is a Truck & SUV Co & dominates those classes. Toyota is a sedan & economy car builder. Tundra 1/2 ton? Pls. Its weak , lacks power / strength & build quality/tech of F150 / F250. Tacoma is better than Tundra. Lets be proud of our All American iconic Ford Motor Co!

They are only similar in the marketing name Ford gave them. So you sound as though you are just throwing out wild generalizations.

[@pahuntnut]

all the replies are from Toyota fan boys that that never owned a ford with an eco boost. Just spouting cyber gossip. As for resale, try trading in you toyota at the toyota dealership and see what they give you for it, and if they even come close to Kelly blue book. This is from a Toyota owner that owned a Tundra limited and runs tacomas for my business, but now runs Ford f150's on the larger trucks. Cost of general maintenance is higher at a Toyota dealership and the reliability montra applies in the 90"s when it came to them and american vehicles but not now. This is written be someone who has owned Toyotas and Fords. Foul plugs and burn oil LOL my ecoboost has 100,000 miles on it.

I'm in the market for a mid size truck and I test drove both. Back in February, I really wanted to like the Taco but the Ranger just felt more sophisticated, and it had more room in the back seats, and it was a better ride on the road. I'm going with a Ranger XLT $34k the only Taco that caught my eye was the TRD Pro but that runs for $45k+

[@666dynomax]

Toyota is so boring, styling is timeless, power is pretty low, fuel mileage sucks, seat sits low, probably not as comfortable, and ride not as good.... resale is amazing, and reliability has been proven, I think i'll go the boring route. Seeing 10 year old tacomas getting 50% residual value from new... those rangers will be LUCKY to get 10% residual in 10 years guys...

Tacomas have always been a different way of sitting, if you have sat in other cars and trucks your whole life, they are uncomfortable, but once you get used to the seating in tacomas, it's pretty good. Difference is kinda like sitting in a normal chair vs a chair with half the leg height.

Randy Jackson I'm on the Ranger5g forums and I've never seen anyone say they had an oil leak... It's based on the RS engine but it has forged internals and a bigger turbo, the 2.0 and 2.3 ecoboost engines all came from Mazda designs. 10r80 10 speed transmission is rated for 590 lbft torque. Dana 44 rear. People (myself included) are putting 300hp to the wheels with a tune and no issues yet. Guys are towing 6000lb campers all over the country with no issues yet. My 2019 Tacoma had as many recalls as the Rangers did. Only major known issue that ford hasn't addressed is fuel in the oil on some new trucks requiring more frequent oil changes but there's been no reported damage or failures so far.

I used to work for a body shop that did prep on show vehicles for a Toyota dealer. One of them was a TRD Off Road Tacoma with the manual transmission.

And the minivan engine did not sell me either. It was a dog! However, I did like the overall size and shape of the truck. Fast forward a few years, and I have a 2020 Ranger sitting in my driveway! The 2.3L EcoBoost's 310 ft-lbs gives it some punch, and the 10R80 transmission seems to take full advantage of it. Not to mention it is much more comfortable and the truck drives much less like an old truck compared to the Toyota! It is a matter of preference, but I am glad I sided with the Ranger!

Ah yes, the same debate as always for a person seeing other trucks in a spec sheet a lot of trucks look way better than a Tacoma, with better mileage more towing and even interior because essentially Tacoma's are the same trucks for a extended time of year. But that's what makes Toyota trucks great and with loyal customers. if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality... with reliability over features. so while you make your new purchase Toyota owners don't mind the older interior, the higher gas mileage because that taco is ruining over 200 thousand miles if serviced properly, and having that peace of mind your trucks isn't giving up on you is everything....little ramble from a happy FJ cruiser owner 👍

So, I own a '09 Taco, 4 cyl. SR5. Great 4X4 for what it is. Tacoma's are hard to beat - best in class value holding even though some are pricey. My work took possession of a new Ranger a year ago. We have about 6K on it with no problems so far. I will say, the Ranger is punchy. That Turbo wants to go all the time but you don't have to engage it unless you need to step on it. I agree with most comments here about value, durability, etc. Although, once you research the Ranger you'll find it's not a totally new truck that's not proven itself durable. Look at how they use this model in Australia and actually prefer it over the venerable Hilux. So, will it hold it's value like a Taco? I doubt it. If a person isn't a die-hard Toyo driver, it's a good option so long as you get a better deal. The Ranger is a solid truck and I've been impressed with my few thousand miles I've driven it.

Love to see how the turbo 4 banger with a ten speed holds up in a few years. I’ll stick to the Toyota, thanks.

[@user-uj5zc6vx2k]

Should hold up just they been using them for years. Enjoy your lil mid size. 3/4 & 1 ton Chevrolet here!

Oh around the 100k that 10 speed will have be rebuilt and be on its 2nd turbo

[@thuan123red]

I always look at long term. I can drive a new car, truck or van and said i like one over another, but he truth is it will take 4-5 years or more to figure out if it is a good quality vehicle or not.

[@everymandriver]

Good point.

[@jayfishandshoot7147]

That Ford is ugly and it’s a Ford. It has the resale value of a turd! I’ll keep the Taco.

If you want to go on an adventure, get a ranger. If you want to go on an adventure and come back, get a Tacoma.

Taco over butt ranger any day!

[@jackcooper4936]

Good luck, in 100k miles the Ford will be falling apart, turbo ruined, value dropped off a cliff. And in 200k miles the Tacoma will be running strong and worth 2x or 3x as much af the Ford.

The rear seat on the Ford doesn't fold down flat like the others to lay stuff inside the cab

dan miedema That’s what it looks like from the reviews that I’ve seen, but I haven’t heard anyone say this definitively. Are you sure that they don’t fold down flat?

[@kyledixon6114]

[@Boltdriver70]

Because it tows a little more? Who buys a mid sized if you're actually towing anything heavy? Has mileage is negligible especially if you drive both hard the the turbo is going to burn more gas.. fact. The Tacoma is PROVEN more reliable and better off road (trd models) with a much higher resale value and has an aftermarket that's much larger then the Ford. There's reviews that say the ranger ranks last behind all the mids so I'd take this whole review with a grain of salt..

I'd take the Taco 100 times, thank you

[@sheaoutsidethebox]

Lol. Talk to us in 5 years when that ranger is selling for $10k and has engine problems. That Taco will go to 300k miles and still be worth $10k

[@shawnn6926]

It's very hard to find a used Taco. People buy them and keep them and there is a reason why.

Only issue is the ford will break down at 100k miles

Your tripping my Guy? but its your opinion voodoobluetacolife19

[@phoneguytim8231]

I guess it depends on what you want to use the truck for... only urban driving/hauling/off road. My opinion is that if hauling is what you need, buy a full sized truck. If urban driving and fuel economy are your most important things, maybe don't buy a truck. If you like off roading, the Tacoma is the way to go. Also, how to the resell values compare between the 2 trucks?

small turbo engines will burn up fast.

I can’t stop laughing. Let me understand this. You telling us a Ford over a Tacoma. Sorry, no way. Do you homework. Look at dependability. What does it matter when it has to be towed or itwon’t start after a few years.

[@everymandriver]

Ok, I will, thx

[@sparkster_6087]

Tacomas nowadays are a far cry from what they used to be. 2nd gen is the last good "truck" they made and even is a bit too much like a SUV for me. 30k for a truck that I will lose 5-7k on as soon as I drive off the lot? No thanks. I'd take a 1st gen any day.

[@feelthatfeelthat]

Midsize trucks are much better for daily driving. Also the Tacoma's have rear shoes where as the ranger is 4wheel disc

So what? The Tacoma comes to a stop just fine
