Ford Ranger vs Toyota Tacoma
Ford Ranger vs Toyota Tacoma
Finding the perfect midsize pickup can make for an extremely exciting journey. You have options from numerous great manufacturers, giving you plenty of choice along your buying journey. Two of these great models you have available to you are the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma.
Could one of these pickups be a fit for you around Waldorf, Huntington, Clinton, Accokeek, or Upper Marlboro, Maryland? Is one better than the other? Find those answers in this Ford Ranger vs. Toyota Tacoma comparison from our team here at Waldorf Ford.
What’s Cookin’ Under the Hood of the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma?
One of the most important areas to evaluate when looking into your midsize pickup truck options are the engines you have available to you. When looking at the Tacoma, you’ll find a 4-cylinder engine that delivers 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Similarly, the Ford Ranger offers a 4-cylinder engine. While this is the case, the outputs offered by the Ford are much higher.
- Ford Ranger Horsepower: 270 HP
- Ford Ranger Torque: 310 lb-ft
As you might expect, the Ranger can offer you more advanced towing capabilities given its more powerful engine. The Ranger comes ready to tow up to 7,500 pounds with its standard engine, while the Tacoma only comes equipped to handle 3,500 pounds with its standard engine.
While performing with more power, it is also the Ranger that will run more efficiently, earning an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG.* On the other hand, the Toyota truck only earns an EPA-estimated 20 city/23 highway MPG. Whether you’re completing a DIY job or are headed out on a road trip, the Ranger will work harder to keep you away from those pesky pumps.
Sitting On the Inside of the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma
Inside these two pickup trucks, you will find similar interior experiences. In both, you’ll be able to seat four to five passengers, perfect for the family or small work crew.
While you can seat the same number of passengers in both trucks, it is the Ford that will do so more comfortably, with its 39.8 inches of headroom in the front and 35.9 inches of headroom in the rear. The Tacoma offers 39.7 inches of front headroom and 34.9 inches of rear headroom. While this amount of space will be comfortable, it is not quite as accommodating as the Ford Ranger interior.
Also contributing to your comfort behind the wheel are the features and amenities that you have available to you. In terms of multimedia, both trucks come with impressive suites, even offering Wi-Fi hotspot capability that’ll keep you effortlessly connected on the go, even if you’re miles off the beaten trail.
Is the Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma Better?
