Please get the MSRP correct. You can't touch a TRD Pro for less than 44k.
He’s talking base models not the trucks shown.
Ok thx Rick
Its def not worth $35K (Taco) with all the old tech ! Tacoma is playing with big boys now.
@@davidklimmek3192 Tacomas last a long time,Thats why their so expensive
Bought mine new in '19 and have absolutely no problems. Tows great, trails great, rides great, drives great, its a great midsized pickup.
Will that ecoboost ford last hundreds of thousands of miles like the Tacoma will 🤔?
@@eaglestryker1338 true
I'm a Ford guy but when it comes to longevity you cant beat Toyotas reliability. Turbocharged engines tend to wear out faster.
What are you saying the turbo or the engine?
@@crazycomments8038 I'm saying a boosted engine will wear out alot faster
Run good oil and maintain them my dad bought 04 mustang cobra brand new when I was 10 he still daily drives it it's bone stock it has 214 k on it
@@stevennunez6013 nah nah nah nah nah fam f that we ain’t talking about no mustangs, Cobras, Camero’s or what ever we’re talking about 2015 Turbo chargers and NOW
@@stevennunez6013 Well that 2004 mustang cobra is naturally aspirated which is very different from that ecoboost bullshit
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!
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+
Hiw is the mpg in the city amd how are the back seats as far as comfort with 3 adults and a 90lbs dog? I was gonna get the ridgline but I been reading that people get 13-16 mpg in the city which is to low for me..I drive 60 miles to work everyday 50% city and 50% highway
I have a 2002 ranger 4.0 4wd with 287 k miles , original engine and transmission, the only thing that has failed was the alternator when it had like 215 k miles , very reliable , also I have a 2013 ford escape with the 1.6 ecoboost 166 k miles and no problems whatsoever , yes I do spend money on regular oil changes , tire balancing and rotation and maintenance in general , with proper care ford rangers and ecoboost engines can be reliable as well
The Taco is The People's Champion
At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
The Future Is Here facts
Yea the ranger isn't what it used to be and definitely isn't as reliable.
not this people. Kinda like saying the Dallas Cowboys are americas team. lol I dont drink the toyota kool aid
Woke AF not this person. My taco has given more problems then my last 4 vehicles combined.
Silent but Deadly But toyota will always sell regardless. The reliability trait has been ingraved in toyota.
Have a 19 xlt fx4 black out package and I have put 16 thousand on and ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. It absolutley runs great , mind blowing on the trails and gas mileage is outstanding. I highly recommend a ranger to anyone I know.
Congrats on your purchase but just want to say 16,000 is nothing really. Would love an update around the 100,000 mark to see how many times it’s been in the shop and then another one at 200,000 to see if it’s still even running.
@@uttamgala7186 I saw one with 100k miles for sale
I guess the big question will be how will that engine in the Ranger hold up over time?
monzx3 should be about average, but being only one engine/transmission option for the line it should make parts, replacement or maintenance quite affordable.
@Randy Jackson Got a link to those reports?
@@ALMX5DP Good point. I'm not knocking on Ford, I'm just wondering if you're gonna tow and load it like a truck, it's just more demanding than being under the hood of a Mustang.
It's a detuned focus rs engine with forged internals and a bigger turbo, same transmission as the V8 mustangs and ecoboost F150s. Dana 44 rear shared with the Wrangler Rubicon. They honestly tried to build a tank of a truck but only time will tell.
Sheepleton got a source on that? New ranger owner here and if what you say is true that’s fantastic
I’m sticking with my 99 tacoma, i don’t see the new generation tacoma as reliable. Too many recalls
Loved my 2017 hate my 2021 less than 2000 miles and been in shop 4 times for a vibration they can not find it fix! LEMON LAW!
Yeah man except right now a used 2nd gen taco is priced as much as a new 3rd gen because of inflation and what not. That being said the 2nd gen is more reliable than 3rd gen taco
I have 99 too and absolutely love it,Absolutely bulletproof
Got the 2019 fx4 last April. Haven’t had a single issue with the truck. Added fox coil overs, method wheels and 285/ 70/ 17 Nitto ridge grapplers. Looks and rides great. Test drive all but the gladiator at the time. The power and torque of the ranger won me over in the end. Can’t wait to add a tune and beat down half tone v8’s
Miles? New ranger owner here
both available for sale at 150k miles? which would you buy
^This
Neither but I would never buy any 4x4 with 150,000 miles
Well, that's a very interesting comparison. I also find the exterior look with the Tacoma a bit more appealing, but differences with the Ranger would have me taking a closer look at the Ford. Thanks!
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. I had to deliver it and I thought it was really cool that it was a new truck with a stick shift! It didn't exactly drive how I expected a new truck to however. 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!
Bad choice
@@terrynichol577Yeah, okay. 15k miles on it so far and loving it!
Yeah I’d have to agree with your driving impressions of the taco. I currently have a taco and it blows chunks as for driving dynamics. Such a sluggish dog with heavy steering. I’ve been thinking about test driving a ranger.
@@pagodad2036 Do it! You won't regret it.
That’s unfortunate,But you like your truck so that’s all that matters 😊
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?
@@sqmus they do not
Second audio track running in the background
Yeah dude thats all i hear
Reliability & resale value puts the Tacoma over the top. End of story.
Yea? U sure? The few used Rangers hitting markets are very expensive. I own '19 Ranger XLT FX4.. bought new. Added killer Fox 2.0 shock kit & Roush CAI. Love this truck! Look @ those residuals / projected used resale values bub.
@@davidklimmek3192 I wouldn’t buy a 10 year old ranger w/ 150k miles on it. I would buy a tacoma with the same tho
@@jagotiberan2181 ok buy your sh*tbox Toy ota who cares about sh*ts
@@hotrod7603 Ford's are trash except raptor
My Ecoboost was making great power until it started burning oil.
Who cares. You live once, at least you are enjoying your ride! I own v8 turbo Bmw and I'm enjoying it! It has lot of repairs but it pulls!
3 years from now this truck will be in the scrap yard with the rest of them. American trucks and cars are junk. Every year they built them with new engine because their are crap especially the ecoboost engine nothing but problems. Please don't waste your hard earned money on American junk. Get a Toyota Tundra and 30 years from now it will still be on the road and it will worth more than that crap. I drive a 2005 Toyota Tacoma and it has 260k on it and its still driving excellent. Toyota all the way
After weeks comparing Taco - Canyon - Ranger. Pulled the trigger on the Ranger. It was a tight race, but Ranger got me in feeling like a modern car. Taco felt dated in features. Love my ranger but both solid options.
Thanks for the vid!
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.
But Toyota IN decline 2017 and 2020 are bad. Really, really bad.
@@Iconhulk Speak English
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 👍
A Tacoma goes over 400,000
Over all Toyotas reliability is unsurpassed. Love mine
Nah but the ranger has better reliability
@@arrogantpelican7827 You wish
I like the video, I have a Tacoma 4 cylinder, don't like it it struggles going on tiny hills, and the cruz control its not compatible with transmission its like its really pushing hard to get to speed I want it to. Does the ranger do that on cruz control? I was just wondering, i was thinking about trading it in for a ranger. Uvalde tx. Hill county.
Bro you should’ve got the V6
@@robertjebediahfreeman or just get a ranger with 310 horsepower 🤣🤣😘
@@1986subway Eww ecoboost
I just wouldn't want to buy a used Ranger in a few years that is out of warranty with a turbo engine. Just my opinion.
Let me add to that, I wouldn't want to buy ANY used vehicle that is out of warranty with a turbo charged engine.
Sacapuntas both gas or diesel turbo engines? I see no issue with buying used if a proper PPI happens.
@Randy Jackson can you expand on that?
Because Eco-Boost and Turbo are problematic waiting to happen, that’s why I stick to naturally aspirated engine like Tacoma.
If not broken don't fix it, that’s why Taco resale and reliability are always high because the company remained simple and without those fancy gadgetry that will break overtime. Cough Cough (Fords)
@@limelife7457 the Tacoma's 2GR engine is far from simple my friend. Dual injection, variable cam timing, switching between otto and atkinson cycles, etc. You think a simple turbo is the one item that will cause an engine to become problematic? Maybe, but no more so than any other engine component.
It's not like turbos are something new. My Saab was problem-free for almost 20 years before I sold it, still going strong with new owner.
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?
Thanks Dave for sharing this ,
I will say I have 12 year old Tacoma and I love it I’m just know starting to look into what other pickups brands or close to the Tacoma on which I will buy an other an other Tacoma due it’s not broken why fix it.
Keep your 12 year old taco. The new ones suck. I have one and regret it. If you need a new truck buy a second gen taco with lower miles.
@@pagodad2036 smart person!
@@pagodad2036 Why don’t you like it?
Owned a ecoboost now I am back in a Toyota and I am not looking back.
I would like to see a review of the ranger but at 150k miles review maintenance issues etc when last gen of Colorado came out looks so good but was so disappointed in transmission issues and even a lawsuit against GM was gonna get one but nope too many recalls
My biggest concern in Mid size is Back seat leg and Head room...who wins?
I'm 5'9", but I have the legs of a 5'11-6' person and let me tell you the new ranger does feel a bit crowded, but the tacoma feels even worse as far as head room I can't comment being 5'9" with long legs means that my torso is short. Overall the seating position on the ranger feels better to me.
@@robertopics
I gota agree I'm 6 2" and 250 ish ...Taco got no head room and less seating room f&r..than Ranger...I bought Ranger a few days ago ..Very happy so far MPG 23ish( I am law abiding driver) .only complaint is minor when driving my right leg (just below knee rest against console and its a sharp edge (not Knife sharp.)could be more rounded or more cush...will find something to put there or learn how to drive in new position..(Probably Just a me thing)..And to close, it will RUN when you gota get it.....
Does the Tacoma have an option for a manual transmission
Yes it does
Yes
You say the ride, interior, tow, fuel mileage are all better on the Ford.. but you'd buy the Toyota if it were your money? 🤷🏼♂️ I have the Ford, but only have been in the Toyota a few times. I'd add that the seats and seating position are far more comfortable in the Ford too.
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.
My VW Jetta had 308K when I sold it 5 years ago, and I still see it driving around town.
@@OleJaxon Impressive
@@OleJaxon What year?
@@robertjebediahfreeman 2000
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.
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
I bought my ranger a few weeks back, a 2020 XLT Fx4 and I could not be happier. Smooth on pavement and strong off it. Comfier cabin than the Tacoma I test drove, more spacious with very similar features. Tough and reliable so far.
I am 6'4"..... Ranger please. The other factors are not great enough for them to make any practical differences IMO. MPG for instance depends greatly on the DRIVER, and then countless other things, so while it is important to me, it is not the selling/breaking point for me. I find that to be true of most other truck comparisons, folks justify their decisions but they (in most cases) don't make as big of a deal as those using them to justify their choice. Cheers!
Would like to see a top zombie apocalypse vehicle video with load out to survive a few days in the wilderness haha
Which Ford Ranger is this truck?
Let's see a long term comparison. Like, ten years from now when the the taco is still going and the ford is in a junkyard somewhere. 😁
It's all in how you maintain the vehicle just like any other brand. A guy not 2 weeks ago posted a video of his Ranger rolling over to 300,000 miles.
Dumb comment. Ford sells 1mil F150s every yr due to "truck excellence". The ole Ranger is legendary in truck circles. New Ranger is class leading in every way! All reviews have Ranger as best midsize truck. I'm not surprised a bit. F150/F250 are best of best. My $46k proudly went on new Ranger. Test drove them all. Ranger had solid build quality of F150 & phenomenal powertrain plus tech / features others can't match.
@@davidklimmek3192 I’m saving for a new truck and have been watching reviews, going to manufacturers sites, and doing comparisons. The deeper I dig the better the new Ranger looks. And that’s coming from someone who had his heart set on other trucks (first the Tacoma, then the Frontier) before looking into the new Ranger.
@@dusty_burkhalter Who's fanboy comment? All was done was calling out ppl trollling ..its so obvious.. an fun once in awhile. Theres nothin wrong w/ any new mid-sized or 1/2ton new trucks today ..all good ...a few much better.
Yeah, this ranger had been in other counties for like 15 years. Will be fine
2030 review will be a lot different.... lol
Facts
Nothing but facts haha
But which one fits in your garage? I bought the 2020 Ranger FX4 over another F150 because it is flat towable behind our motor home AND it fits inside our 2 car garage along side my wife's fat RX350.
Ranger fits my garage better than Tacoma but my F-150 is too long. TWSS
The Toyota will have better reliability and resale value, tho!
Bear4PozCLE those ecoboost engines burn oil as they age need a lot of mantainance
Anderson Rodriguez Ecoboost is just a name with a few variants and designs. Which are you referring to? Specifically this 2.3? Got a link to those prevalent issues?
Alan Bowers the smaller the engine the worse especially when they put those small ones in vehicles like the explore trucks a small engine for a big vehicle and u add turbos and gdi system not gonna last long just like the gm 4 cylinder kn their trucks tht engine not gonna last 100K and being a Gm makes it worse
@@andersonrodriguez8258 what is your source or basis for that? My question surrounds the 2.3 in this Ranger being COMPLETELY different in design than the 2.7 or gen 2 3.5. They are only similar in the marketing name Ford gave them. So you sound as though you are just throwing out wild generalizations.
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.
You cannot get the 4 door with the long bed! The short bed is worthless!
I didn't need 4 doors and needed the longer bed since I actually use it to carry things. It's getting so hard to find a reg cab or ext truck these days. Thanks soccer moms.
Good competition for the mid size, but ill stick to a full size for real work
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.
Good point.
"The ranger is better, I just wont pick it" is what's hes saying 💁♂️
Totally agree! Sold my taco for ranger!! Love it!!
@Randy Jackson quite a few trucks have engines that are also used in cars, and many new models have early issues that need addressing.
Randy Jackson the tacoma has a camry engine with an obsolete and horribly tuned transmission. Theres been lots and lots of issues with the 3rd gens, just go on tacomaworld forums. Whats your point?
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.
@@Sheepleton Ranger has potential to be a classic with this redesign. The Tacoma has a reputation of reliability, but Toyota has definitely overpriced it. Inflation or gouging? You decide.
Randy Jackson you don’t know that. So far it seems they’re doing good
Time is the Teller of all Truths!
The Tacoma looks more aggressive...however i think the Ford is my choice because it has a roomier back seat..i still dont understand why Toyta takes a long long time to make corrections from Owners
You are wrong. I traded my 2016 Tacoma SR5 double cab for a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT crew cab. The back seat area in the Ranger is a bit smaller than the Tacoma.
1 year later a 2019 XLT FX4 Ranger with 38k miles goes for $38900. 🤑
4 cylinder in a truck? No thanks. Doesnt matter if you have turbos. Thats a lot of strain on the engine and trouble down the road
How do you define strain?
My dad has a 4 cyl Tacoma that has almost 400k miles and it stills hauls loads of lumber no problem
I have a 17Tacoma and love it. I've had an 97 F150 and loved it. When I was ready to by a new mid-size in 17, Ford was MIA and mum on when the new Ranger would be available. Ford lost me as customer probably forever, because they "discontinued" the Ranger. Chevy and GMC has lost me with pricing, packaging, reliability forever long ago. During a down on $ time I had $200 S10. Got me through town, but it was not going to get me to the hills. It was a truck though and that's great. My 17 Tacoma is a keeper and I'm not looking for anything better because it's the one I have and I'm pretty sure it will out live me.
I'd like to see the 2020 nissan frontier. Thx
2022 Frontier almost for sale
Spec sheets won’t tell you which is the better truck.
We all know the longevity is what’s important! That ranger won’t go 50k miles before something goes wrong!!
Are you speaking from previous owner or typing rubbish? Give us some links to back your comment!
What if I put a Tacoma engine in a Ranger Tokyo Drift style
It is interesting how you and Savagegeese came at this from a different perspective. For an everyday road use and some truck utility I'd go with the Ridgeline.
good choice
Good choice!
The Ridgeline is a nice car, not a truck. Might as well be a Chevy El Camino..
Ridgeline LOL
Wait another year and you'll have the Santa Cruz.
Even though I have a Tacoma with 250k mikes and it most certainly is a reliable truck… Toyota is overhyped and a lot of people just regurgitating things they hear
But, Scotty says a ecoboost is stupid.
Hey ranger, the Honda Ridgeline called. It wants it’s style back.
lol
New "old" Nissan Frontier is solid truck and way to go if you don't mind 2006ish design, no gdi, no turbo and no fancy transmission, that's what is valuable, 2.5 or 4.0 you choose.
That's what I'm thinking to replace my super reliable 2009 ranger with 170k. I just want a basic work truck
My problem with many of the mid-size trucks is the rear/back seat area. The Ranger, like the GM variants (Colorado/Canyon), does not let you fold the rear seat up (or down) to get a flat area for storage or riding your dog. I am looking for a mid-size truck as a platform for a "light duty", overland type truck. The Ranger, Colorado/Canyon don't cut it because of the rear seat. I know many people use the rear for passengers; however, not everyone does. I would like the flexibility to use the rear area to ride people and then fold the seats up or down and have a flat area for storage or to ride my dog. Not sure about the Frontier (current or new version), but the Ranger and Colorado/Canyon loose in this area and the Tacoma wins.
I leave the seat up for my Ranger and store stuff.
Take the back seat out?
@@djkilpatrick5256 My 2016 Colorado extended cab no longer has a back seat.
Even if the Tacoma was better I still buy American 🇺🇸.. Salvadoran/American here! 💥💥💥
As an owner of a 93 Ranger 2.3 5speed with almost 300K hard miles on it I'm pulling for the new Ranger, but I don't like turbos so I would choose the Tacoma if I had to pick.
Honestly, you won't be disappointed. I've had 3 different S10's, a 2015 Canyon and 2 Rangers in my 30 years of driving and my Taco is a keeper.
Seems the rangers are developing a Fuel in the oil problems..
Always thinking resale value...overworking that eco boost to compete with other brands and towing capabilities.. F.o.r.d you guessed it... no thanks, great vlog though....
You’re honest about it.
Even though the ranger gets better fuel mileage, why not just go f150? With the 2.7 L you get the same mileage, more power, more torque, and a lot more room.
It's more expensive is my guess. I'm looking at Rangers because from what I've seen on the lots, Rangers are about $6-7k less in general. Since I dont really need the additional space or capability, it's a pretty good savings.
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
Can you get a manual transmission in the Ranger? If not, then it isn't better.
No unfortunately, but they offer it in the new bronco with the same motor. Don't make any sense
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
It's very hard to find a used Taco. People buy them and keep them and there is a reason why.
I love how people act like turbos are new. If maintained the engines and turbos will last.
But reliable then Taco? Don’t think so
Yeah ranger beats Tacoma in every other category.. “Reliability” every Tacoma owners excuse, which doesn’t even represent a truck. It’s all about performance.. something your toy truck doesn’t have. Probably never even touched a Ford, just joining the Tacoma Joke band wagon.
@@itsraiankure performance!!?? My tacoma will outlast any other ford truck or car 💀💀😭😭
Braus K forget performance. I’d rather have my truck last 10-20 years.
@@ndomakongsuh936 And I'd rather have something that performs really well for 10 years 😎... By then new safety features and technology would be in place, engines would be tweaked for greater efficiency and I rather upgrade than keeping an outdated vehicle around for eternity.
All turbos are questionable from what I’ve heard. I don’t know why Ford did not put their 3.3 v6 engine in this ranger.
I have a 2020 ranger and honestly I wouldn’t have considered buying it if it came with the 3.3 v6. I know that NA engines will usually be more reliable however the F150 ecoboost trucks are not bad over the long term. Lots of them have over 200k miles on the original engine in my area, and honestly for having to deal with a northern Canadian winter that’s better than most.
All I have to say is I don’t know if you could get 250 or 300,000 miles on an eco-boost? I can easily get that on a Tacoma
Shouldn’t this be “why I think the Ford Ranger is better than the Tacoma” & not “Why the Ford Ranger is better than the Tacoma”?...Reason being because I knew your family is Biased towards Ford so it’s just YOUR opinion....
Like come on Man,even you said on one of your vids that your wife doesn’t like Lexus/Toyota,so you expect us to take your opinion against a product you & your family doesn’t like?
Smooth Operator I agree
He can have whatever opinion he wants just like a Taco fan channel will have the same title saying Tacoma is better but would you criticize them?
A Z A Taco fan channel? Hmm,I didn’t know I was listening to a Ford Fan channel until today actually...And yes I’ve always said it has to be these reviewers opinions,it seems like lately they’re trying to ride the “Scotty Kilmer” wave by deciding to pick a brand close to their heart while reviewing...But unlike Scotty some of these guys have no clue about the mechanicals of a vehicle.
Both trucks are great… at the end of the day, what matters is what you like… 😎

Until it hits year mark and breaks down, costs half of its price to repair
My granddaughter bought a new 2020 Ford Ranger Sport and already experiencing engine problems. She back the dealer several times and they can’t fix it, oil pump problems, and the dealer won’t give her another truck. Like I’ve been saying in the past found on the road dead Ford sucks. Better buy Chevy Colorado or Toyota Tacoma .
Taco over butt ranger any day!
I'd take the Taco 100 times, thank you
I own neither but my problem with the Ford is that folding the rear-seat is not as flexible as in the Taco and Colorado. That's a deal breaker for me otherwise it is a nicer looking truck.
Tacoma still looks way better though
I love the mean look of the TRD Sport with the hood and the body lines all around.
In terms of reliability no way . Toyota beats all in that department.
concur
Toyota reliability is all old hype, you dont get that praise with their new trucks but a lot of people with buyer's remorse Hahaha
@@koopspook lol . Toyota is reliability king . You mad ? Last I checked Ford and gm needed to be bailed out in 2008 . Did Toyota need to be bailed out? No
Well you have to know who did the video here,the man never really liked anything Toyota.Ask him what he drives & you’ll get the drift...So whatever this guy says is his Opinion,nothing more,nothing less.
Toyota Owners can’t stand the criticism. 2015 Tacoma is the Champ, and The Reputation Is old hype based on trucks of the past.
That eco boost engine will work harder and wear out faster than the proven 3.5 six in the Tacoma.
If so buy another turbo!
I put 280k on a 2nd gen. Taco over 14 years, I absolutely LOVED that truck. I am now 3 years in owning a 2018 3rd gen. TRD4x4 and I HATE the 3.5!!!!!! The stock gearing and electronics are a disaster and NO ONE who spends that much on arguably the most sought after trucks in America should have to go and spend thousands more to have the truck re-geared and fix Toyota's horrific changes to the best midsize truck ever (I stay true to my discipline of not carrying unnecessary debt).. DO NOT GET A TACOMA NEWER THAN 2015 UNLESS $ IS NO ISSUE FOR YOU!!!... Oh and I have a 2018 TRD4x4 for sale :)
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.
Watch Savagegeeses very detailed review of Ranger junk and make sane assertion. I mean you really need to see it. Also ask auto tech of 52 years Scotty Kilmer on this LOL!
Great advice.
Couldn’t agree more.
Turbocharging a 4 cyclinder is not a good idea .
It puts too much stress on a small engine .
You will have problems down the road.
Exactly
If they put a V6 in the ranger things would be different
Thanks for the review Scotty Kilmer 😂
Eamonn McDermott He’s a mechanic ... far from a reviewer LOL
2012 taco owner here……was between a Ford ranger and a Tacoma for months, I look for a vehicle that maintenance is easy to do and Tacoma sold me on that. Can’t go wrong with that oil filter location . Also the Tacoma is naturally aspirated so you will get 100’s of thousands of miles out of it, ranger will burn out with those turbos pretty quickly.
Gotta say tho I love the ranger but ... the rangers interior just seems dated. And it’s only like a year old. I just think a brighter / bigger screen would make the ranger better.
Too bad it's also at a weird angle and can't change the color from that baby blue.
I’ll take the Tacoma all day EVERYDAY and oh twice on Sunday’s !!
Thank you !!
I don't even bother baout this garabage toy ota keyboard warrior first get the driving license
If you want a higher resale value,it’s a no brainer the Toyota hands down!
Who are you trying to convince? Not me!
Long term reliability is not on the side of the turbo engine.
Prove it.
No one can touch the Tacoma resale value.
Ok sell your sh*tbox resale resale fed up of these keyboard warriors from dogsh*t taxi brand like toy ota
People buy these trucks for reliability and Ford cant compare to Toyota. EVERYMAN DRIVER you re losing your credibility!!
W P you’re subscribed to Scotty Kilmer and Toyota dealerships 😆 can you even drive yet? Plus it all depends on how you treat and maintain your trucks I we have Chevy vans two of em have 360k miles and mine has 186k. Get out here sheep.
How come the Tundra isn’t the best selling full sized truck?
@Randy Jackson I have to admit to owning two out of your three "worst cars" back in the mid-70's - early 80's. I think it's called being young and dumb...
See ya in ten years to see who is still on the road. ; the toyota will be on the road and the Ford at the yunk jard
I have a 2012 explorer , 2012 Fusion but still running strong, Explorer had the fuel pump go out at about 120k only problem
