Shots Fired! 2024 Toyota Tacoma vs 2024 Ford Ranger Comparison by Toyota

[MackDaddy]

actually base on Toyotas website where you can build your truck.. you can still get almost ALL the same tech and features having a MT or a AT.. only thing I can see you won’t be able to use between the 2 transmissions is remote starts

in fact I made my own build if I wanted to switch to them

I feel like that's too much to pay for a non-hybrid 4-cylinder Tacoma. Currently have an order in for a Ranger Raptor, ordered in June, confirmed by Ford but no vin/build date yet. Haven't been impressed with Ford's lack of communication or transparency and I'm starting to think about what that'll mean if/when repairs are needed down the line. Ford and Dodge trying to market themselves as more luxury brands will most likely be accompanied by higher repair costs and ain't nobody got time for that.

If the hybrid Tacoma is available before my Raptor is produced then I'm going with Toyota. Preferably a TRD Pro or Trailhunter, but I'll settle for a hybrid TRD Offroad with the bilstein suspension. I'm anticipating a mpg-rating in the 30's for the hybrid which makes it a no-brainer for daily and recreational use. The Raptor looks sexier but the Pro and Trailhunter aren't far off and it's honestly a non-factor for me...if I can pull baddies in a CRV then I call pull baddies in anything lol

Well the $39k it starts with is ONLY the base model so it won’t have all the high end features… this just makes it pretty much fully loaded and comes with all these with that $9k premium package… which means this truck will not have any of these without it.. yes you can go lower but it’s the premium that will up your center console from the 9 inch display to the nice 14 inch display..

but yeah as for me.. I always wanted a Raptor… but the F-150 Raptors are to big for my taste and a lot more expensive so I am happy for the smaller version that is the Ranger Raptor.. but this Tacoma… yeah it’s a hot hot hot 2nd with the Colorado zr2 as a close 3rd… and I don’t like GM products

I agree. I would genuinely like a video highlighting the differences between the trucks, but this video just drones on about the Tacoma and doesn't really compare much at all. It almost seemed ChatGPT generated.

There are dozens of videos, of the NG Ranger taking on Hilux, Dmax, Strata. Is the 10spd still junk.
I went with the Sport 4x4 with the 6spd Auto, only choice I get and the 2.0 litre diesel. Not many choices, but a heck of a lot cheaper.

This video didn't talk too much on looks alone. The Toyota looks like they took a bunch of truck parts threw them together without looking at the truck as a "whole". The Ranger looks like it was designed as a "whole".

That Toyota front end looks horrible. Almost Chevrolet like. Yuck.

I saw a video online where Ford updated the CDF drum in the 10 speed trans to fix one of the failures. Just not sure if it is true or if it's the 10R80, 10R60 or both.

If the issue is across the board, they would fix it for all. I really haven't heard of many issues after the first few years of the 10R being out. The 10R60 did have a couple teething issues, but those look to be sorted out.
