Ranger vs Tacoma 4x4 Off-Roading 2022 Compilation Mid-Size Pickup Truck Comparison

Rangers have historically been great off road. Thats why most class 7 race trucks down in Baja are Rangers. Toyotas are good too, I have nothing against them, except how uncomfortable they are inside, good trucks though.

[@TheBronco67]

Looks like those who know momentum is your friend didn't have much trouble with any of the obstacles. Those who wanted to stop all the time made the trail much harder on themselves and their vehicles.

[@user-ej1bq4bq2w]

I'd say the exact opposite. Slamming the truck through those moguls is a lot harder on it than crawling through. This video should be titled "How NOT to drive"

[@4WDisLife]

I would say it’s peoples choice of either sending it or crawling it. Sending it definitely making it much more prone to trail damage.

[@Holden-McGroin]

You can’t crawl loose material lol. It’s not just crawl or send. There’s a middle ground of carrying momentum without putting the truck in the air.

[@FreakyT333]

Cool vid, can definitely see the Ranger’s lsd kicks in a bit quicker and more aggressively at less slip than the Taco’s but the Taco seems to carry momentum better (possibly just driver though). Would have been nice to see a ZR2 in this group to compare.

[@triviaworldopolis3362]

I’ve had a Tacoma and Ranger. Currently own the ZR2, which I think has the best 4WD out of the three. I will say I miss the mpg of the Ranger!

[@jkulysses]

Tacoma TRD Sport only has electronic limited slip, basically applies brake power to the wheel slipping, but the FX4 Ranger has a true mechanical locker fully locking both rear wheels together. Colorado zr2 has both a front and rear mechanical locker that fully lock all 4 wheels. No one else currently offers that but jeep & the ram power wagon.

[@darinwarner2839]

Hey guys quick question do you guys air down ever? If not why not. I offroad in Colorado and we air down always and we drive over stuff like it's not there. I run a 3500 mega cab dodge with 37's and many mods and I always air down.

[@4WDisLife]

They do.

[@evoemperor3776]

Tacoma got better articulation but the ranger has better traction control.

[@pablogarin5445]

I love both trucks, but I have to say the Ranger has the upper hand, at least to me. The engine on the Ranger is awesome, and is way more comfortable. Most of the downfalls of the Ranger can be solved by replacing suspension and clearing a bit the approach and departure angles. Throw in a couple of 35s and you have a killer truck... I've been thinking about getting the AGPs widebody kit and maybe add a snorkel.

[@venomhell5084]

Ranger wins!

[@adamharris2674]

Both trucks will get you there. Some drivers are better than others. How do you Taco owners deal with that horrible seating position (Man sized people at least) and that pathetic engine/trans? Huge penalty to pay for that perceived reliability. Ranger recently named most reliable mid-size truck anyway. I bought a 2020 FX4 Ranger last year and got an Included 20yr 200K mile powertrain warranty.

[@robw7205]

You'll need that warranty. I owned and loved Fords for years; Broncos, F150, F350... I picked up a Focus ST3 and couldn't get rid of that hot garbage fast enough. Ford made me a Tacoma customer.

[@SanctumOfDreams]

My buddy bought a Tacoma last march and all he talked about was how it’s so much more reliable than my wrangler JL supposedly. It lasted him about five months of commuting. He never towed a thing and never wheeled it yet the first three gears melted together on a flat road going 40. Costed him $5k to find someone to replace his transmission. The interior looks like the inside of an old economy jet. And the wind noise is unbearable the windows whistle and the engine is gutless. But he loves the thing because it’s a Toyota 🤷‍♂️ I’ll never understand it.

[@whackityschmackitydo]

The 3rd gen Taco is supposed to be revved high for all its power. It’s a NA v6 tuned for economy but still able to pull 6800 lb. People don’t understand that it is perfectly happy in a high RPM range. And the reliability is real, not perceived. That Toyota resale value isn’t based on features or tech; its based on the fact that their trucks can go extremely high miles on only basic maintenance.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

@@SanctumOfDreams Lemons exist, but the statistics don't lie. Every single year, Toyota ranks the highest in reliability studies. They have been dominating these reliability studies for a long time. It is very rare when a Toyota doesn't work. I've owned nothing but Toyota trucks and only one Ford truck (an F150), and guess which one has seen the shop the most.

[@zane213what9]

Ford is overpriced and isn't that reliable. My gf has had to fix hers a few times.

[@whackityschmackitydo]

@@anoop4243 Retaining more value after the warranty is up has nothing to do with investments. It just means that Toyota spends far less money fixing their customers’ vehicles, which translates into lower priced warranties and higher vehicle value retention afterward because there’s a whole lot more life left after the warranty is up. To me, THAT is better performing. Who cares if you have the best numbers on paper if you have to go back to the dealer all the time for recalls and problems? Having said that, everything from everyone has kind of sucked the last couple of years. I am not interested in any new vehicle for the next 5 years at least. By then, my Tundra will only have 100k miles on it, which is barely even broken in.

[@anoop4243]

@@whackityschmackitydo Well, for each his own. For me performance, driveability, features & comfort matter a lot, which most Toyota's skimp on / lack. I don't mind having a few recalls (hey, they are fixing any potential issues free of cost ( even the tundra has recalls)). I don't care if the other car is 5% more reliable, because it lacks many important features or is dull to drive. I keep my cars for ~ 10 yrs when I upgrade to a newer better vehicle. At the end of the day I shouldn't feel bored when I drive from A to B, and Ford's are pretty good at ensuring that it doesn't happen. Also I maintain my cars well, and I've had zero issues with my Ford's.
