Up front, the Toyota has a blunt, heritage-inspired nose with rectangular headlights, and it comes with a hood scoop on its TRD Sport and TRD Pro trim levels. What gives? “In the car world, the joke is that after the zombie apocalypse the only things to survive will be cockroaches and Tacomas.” Indeed, a look at Consumer Reports’ ratings for the Tacoma show that the small, compact pickup truck … Done, you can now forward this to them. Pic for reference: https://board.marlincrawler.com/images/2016-tacoma/misc/20.02.23-1600.jpg. Also, there are a lot more aftermarket parts for the Toyota. The current ranger platform is over a decade old! I usually always say buy American, specifically Chevy. Whoa, now that is a lift. Prepare to be raped by any ranger owner reading this, A ranger may make it to 250k but the taco will outlive you. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies.

And any other advice you could give would be great! “The Tacoma has a tremendous reputation for reliability,” Nick Kurczewski, senior multimedia content editor for CR, tells Consumerist. Anyways, Rangers in this range are only ~$5,000 and Tacomas are like ~$12,000!!!! FIRST TIME CAR BUYER IDK REALLY WHAT IM DOING!!! Under the skin, however, the Ranger gets a new fully boxed frame, a turbocharged engine specially selected for this market, the Ford F-150’s 10-speed automatic and other mechanical enhancements. There is a reason there are plans to discontinue it. I plan on getting this truck as my daily driver as well because i live in the upper Midwest and winter is a thing. The viewing angle from the driver seat isn’t great in late model Tacomas, in my opinion, I’m 6’ and my head was near the roof and the hood occluded a lot the ground in front of the vehicle. Taco was just a better fit for me. I'd recommend looking at the Nissan Frontier. If you buy a taco, I say buy new because they hold their value so well, it’s almost pointless to save a k or two for a truck that has a LOT of miles. I've been over-landing with friends before and I love it. Hello r/overland, experienced Rock Crawler here. yes, the ranger is more powerful/faster, but overlanding is not about “going fast” as much as it’s about “getting there”. If you buy a ranger, I say buy certified pre-owned as you may pay substantially less for the same truck. The interiors for both are pretty similar. If you HAD to pick between one of those two trucks, go with the Ranger. However after I purchased my 2004 tacoma the differences are pretty striking. I have $15k in the bank, going up every day and am looking at buying a small truck with good mileage like the Post 2001 Ford Ranger or a Pre 2006 Tacoma. If the way I treat my computer and guns are any indication, I would probably keep the truck in the best condition based on my knowledge. So my overall question is, if you could go buy one right now, which one would it be? My dog is 100% Velcro and likes to sleep with me, so a rack tent would have sucked. I am mechanically inclined and can fix anything with instructions and the right tools/parts. Of course if you're going automatic I'd avoid anything that says ford on it. If you're willing to consider other options, I'd HIGHLY recommend a Colorado ZR2, or possibly a Gladiator. TFL truck on youtube have excellent reviews. Done, you can now forward this to them. See that was y other thought was Tacoma has the corner in the aftermarket parts and builds. Which model Tacoma would you get ? I have $15k in the bank, going up every day and am looking at buying a small truck with good mileage like the Post 2001 Ford Ranger or a Pre 2006 Tacoma.
