2024 Toyota Tacoma vs 2024 Ford Ranger | Toyota
– [Narrator] The 2024 Toyota Tacoma versus the 2024 Ford Ranger. Let’s learn a bit more about these midsize pickup trucks. With its expansive lineup, Tacoma offers something for every driver. The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric system and TRD grades emphasize Tacoma’s performance. Standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 gives Tacoma advanced driver assistance
And active safety features on all grades. Now let’s put Tacoma and Ranger side by side. Tacoma’s lineup consists of eight grades. Four of these are TRD models. Then there’s the new Trailhunter grade that was developed for activities like overlanding, a type of off-roading where the journey is the focal point. Five Tacoma models can be had with the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric powertrain.
Plus, there are two bed lengths and cab styles to choose from, as well as two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configurations. Ranger is available in four grades but only one cab style and bed length. Four-wheel drive is available on XL, XLT, and Lariat grades, while the Raptor grade includes it as standard.
Tacoma’s performance impresses thanks to its new powertrains. This starts with the i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with up to 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Select grades can also be had with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric powertrain, which produces a up to 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
This is complemented by a lifted suspension that includes adjustable Fox shocks on TRD Pro, or Old Man Emu shocks on Trailhunter, and available rugged terrain tires that facilitate maximum grip on the road surface. The available Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control system that works in four-high and four-low
Take Tacoma’s off-road performance to new heights, while 4WDemand part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential ensure power is put to the wheels effectively. On the other hand, the Limited grade’s available Adaptive Variable Suspension enhances Tacoma’s on-road performance, especially when combined with the standard full-time four-wheel drive system
And center locking differential. Finally, in addition to the standard eight-speed automatic transmission, an available six-speed manual on gas SR, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road grades allow the driver to take full control of shifting duties and Tacoma’s turbocharged power. Ranger is available with turbocharged four and six-cylinder engines. The base 2.3-liter four-cylinder
Makes 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 is good for 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Ranger Raptor, on the other hand, uses a three-liter twin-turbo V6 with 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Four-wheel drive and all-terrain tires are also available on select grades.
Additionally, Ranger Raptor includes Fox shocks, a front locking differential, and an electronic rear locking differential. However, there’s no equivalent to Tacoma’s Adaptive Variable Suspension. Tacoma balances capability with bold styling. This starts with the LED headlights, which are uniquely styled to stand out. Higher grades can be had with premium LED headlights
That further enhance Tacoma’s design, alongside the available 18-inch alloy wheels. These attractive looks are backed by functionality, thanks to skid plates that protect the underbody, as well as other useful features like an available deck rail system, an available 2400-watt AC power supply on i-FORCE MAX EV models, and an available power up/down tailgate.
Trailhunter takes design to new heights with additions like an ARB Sport Bar, and a low-profile, high-mount air intake. On the other side, Ranger comes standard with LED headlights and available 18-inch alloy wheels. Its skid plates require selecting the FX4 Off-Road Package on 4×4 XLT and Lariat grades. Cargo management rails, in-bed storage,
And the 400-watt In-Bed Power system are also available but require selecting at least the XLT grade. However, Ranger lacks an answer to Tacoma’s available ARB Sport Bar and low profile, high-mount air intake. Inside, Tacoma matches its rugged exterior with exceptional comfort and convenience. Take the available power-adjustable front seats,
Which can be had with heating and ventilation, and there’s also an available heated steering wheel to ensure there’s plenty of ways to stay comfortable on adventures. Tacoma TRD Pro takes this one step further with its IsoDynamic Performance front seats, which help isolate front passengers from impacts during off-road driving. For added convenience,
The Smart Key System makes entering and exiting the vehicle a breeze, while available Digital Key lets owners share access to their truck via the Toyota app with an active Remote Connect trial or subscription. This comfort is complemented by added versatility thanks to an available 60/40 split, folding rear seats with under-seat storage,
And an available fold-flat front passenger seat with lockable storage and an integrated pegboard on XtraCab models like TRD PreRunner. Ranger is also available with power-adjustable front seats. Heated front seats are available on the XLT grade and up, but ventilated front seats are not available at all. Ranger also does not have any equivalent
To Tacoma’s heated steering wheel and IsoDynamic Performance front seats. Furthermore, Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start is available only on the Lariat and Raptor grades. When it comes to practicality, Ranger does include fold-flat rear seatbacks and under-seat storage in the second row. An eight-inch touchscreen is standard on Tacoma
While a 14-inch touchscreen is available. Regardless of screen size, Toyota’s latest Audio Multimedia platform includes standard wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to the apps on their iPhone, including maps, messages, podcasts, and music subscriptions. In addition, wireless Android Auto compatibility makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices
And access various apps and services from Google, including YouTube Music and Google Maps. Plus, there’s a standard 3-month SiriusXM trial subscription that includes over 165 channels available in-cabin, and even more on the SiriusXM mobile app, making it easier than ever to enjoy not just ad-free music, but also sports, comedy, and more.
Select grades also come with trials to Toyota’s line of Connected Services, including Safety Connect, Service Connect, Remote Connect, Wi-Fi Connect, and Drive Connect. Additionally, there’s an available 10-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with a portable speaker so owners can play their tunes outside the vehicle, while the available Qi-compatible wireless charging
Keeps phones powered up. Finally, an available 12.3-inch digital Multi-Information Display, and an available head-up display puts key information right in the driver’s line of sight. Ranger comes standard with the Sync 4A interface and a standard 10-inch touchscreen on lower grades, or an available 12-inch touchscreen on higher grades.
Both displays also include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard equipment. Lariat and Raptor grades include a 10-speaker B&O Premium Audio system and a 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster. However, a head-up display is not offered on any grade. Tacoma comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0,
A suite of active safety and driver assistance features. This includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist.
