Should we just get a Tacoma?

So, why are you still here?

Someone's upset!

I’m 6ft 3 and sat in a 2021 Tacoma. Had to duck to get in and felt cramped. The new one doesn’t look much bigger inside. I sat in a 2023 ranger and felt decent inside for space. Easy choice for me.

I think people are just considering options at this point, because the new Tacomas are more close to a reality than the Ranger in this moment in time.

Not everyone has the luxury of just waiting an indefinite time.

Will the Tacoma's really be more "available" considering how popular they are?

When I went to test drive a Tacoma, that dealership had customers crawling all over every single truck and I had to wait to drive the one I was interested in.

When I went to test drive a Ranger, their only Ranger, the dealer said "Oh wow, we really don't get that many people looking for a Ranger!"

Ford may be off to a pretty bad start to production with the strike and supply chain issues, but there's not an awful lot of us in the order banks. Toyota may be able to churn out more trucks, but the demand for those units is certainly higher.

Toyota hasn't pushed out a single consumer tacoma yet people on this forum seem extremely sure they are just gonna dump trucks all over dealer lots as soon as december rolls around and the trucks will be bountiful for anyone who wants one.

Where are you guys getting this crystal ball that is showing you the future?

I'm just speaking from what I observe in southern California. There are tons of Tacomas (not Pros) on dealer lots. I am assuming once 23s have stopped productions, the same amount will be 24s. If you dont believe me, just look up any franchise dealer near a big city in So Cal and look at their Tacoma inventory.

There are tons on dealer lots because who is going to seriously consider buying an out-going, out-dated (and honestly underwhelming) model when a model refresh is coming within a year? This is an observable trend that happens every time a new generation is being released. My local Ford lot had rangers collecting dust last year/this year for the same reason. Did that bode well for us?

The amount of out-going models on a dealer lot has no bearing on how many new models there will be in december, january, or even february.

Meh. His whole argument is it's not a "true" Raptor because it has 33's and less suspension travel than the other Raptors. He comes across as a full size truck guy with clear bias. He is also wrong about the width being the same as a regular Ranger. It's 3.5" wider.

The width without mirrors on Fords website is the same for Raptor and Ranger 4x4. The track width is wider which is probably why the fender flares are wider. I'm not sure if the sheet metal is wider or just the width at the flares and wheels.

Wheel track is wider. The fenders and bedsides are wider. Cabin and doors are the same.

Tacomas are no more close to reality than the rangers....

Tacoma's have a sale date December 2023. The Ranger factory could still be ok strike in December 2023. I am not even scheduled for my order. There is a excellent chance that Tacoma's will be on the lot before my order is even scheduled. This makes them more of a reality than the ranger.
