Sorry Taco guy.

[AzScorpion]

I have not gotten the chance to do this, but now im on 33s im not sure if i could take a taco from the dig haha i have not gotten a tune yet either. So i would probably get beaten by a stock taco or maybe stay right beside it. At least im not running E rated but still quite heavier than stock tires. In my eyes, running 33s are still worth it!

Drop it in S mode and I bet you'll still smoke one. I had a 2016 and trust me they're gutless down low and don't start making any kind of power until 5,000 rpm's. It'd be even better if you had a rear dash cam to see how mad he is as you blow him off. ??

I wasn’t looking for it but obviously he was. I was pleasantly surprised by my truck’s performance… I told my wife and she just rolled her eyes saying “don’t with me riding “… she’ll never understand..

I quit racing tacos, the GM twins, and nissans. I got tired of winning every time. Did it in my 19 and the 21.

I guess I still need to run my 2011 Tacoma against my sons Ranger. The Ranger may win, but it is going to be close. I can tell you that the 4.0 v6 in the G2 Tacoma has no problem beating a G3 Tacoma in a race.

This is one reason I check the weight of every tire I consider. My little ranger is no rocket but with a 93 tune it's good enough to keep me from dropping cash on a V8 mustang (again). I'm looking at some 32"s (255/75/17) that weigh 41 lbs an I think that's pretty good. Standard load rating though which is fine with me for my use.

The day my son purchased his Ranger, we test drove a used 2020 Mustang GT with the A10 and the Ecoboost Mustang with the A10. That Mustang GT was a rocket. I was totally impressed. It was noticeably faster than the 2017 GT I used to own. If I had to guess, the 2020 GT was close to a second faster 0 to 60 than my 2017 GT. I would not be at all surprised if it was 2.5 - 3 seconds faster than my sons Ranger. For what its worth, the Ranger did feel faster than the Ecoboost Mustang.

I had a 2014 Tacoma prior to the Ranger and there is no way that it would even be close. My Tacoma was a good truck but it was far from quick, just made a lot if noise when I jumped on it.

You are kidding yourself if you think a Ranger is as fast as an Ecoboost Mustang. We are talking about a truck that weighs 1000 lbs more and has less HP than the Ecoboost Mustang.

The Ecoboost Mustangs with the A10 tranny are dipping into the 4 second range 0 to 60 and are very high 12s in the quarter.

I traded a 17 Ecoboost Mustang with a 6 spd manual for the Ranger. While the Ranger is quick it is no where close to the Mustang.

I can’t believe you guys get this excited over outrunning a notoriously slow vehicle.

if you haven't made the switch to premium fuel yet I'd highly recommend it. Once I put on my 33's I did and it makes a considerable MPG difference as well as SPG increase.

Have the livernois tune but not installed yet... apparently I dont own a computer capable of downloading the software (admin rights on work computer)

FWIW : 2014 Tacoma numbers

2019 Ranger numbers and some comparisons. Its safe to say, claiming a win over a Taco isnt a hard thing to do. There shouldn't be any trophy's awarded or much gloating. it's like Micheal Phelps beating a starfish in a race. Unless you mess something up, the Taco's will always be behind you.

And the difference is “one thousand one” to sixty. I would have thought more than that.

I've done the stoplight derby with both of Toyota's trucks, even a brand new Tundra. All they ever see is taillights!

I've had a few guys want piece after I put the 33's on. Mine are E rated and I'm on a stock tune. Still no problem.

haha! I've not gotten the pleasure yet, but I did see a white XLT scab on a test drive a few days ago, and I sped up beside them but didn't get a chance to give a thumbs-up or anything before I turned off and they didn't see me.

I look forward to the day that someone wants to show their junk and then burn them. I am not 'that guy', but I still look forward to it, cause I can. Love me the ranger.

I had an English guy about 30ish in a Land Rover try me a few months back and we stayed neck to neck and at the next stoplight he complemented the truck for its power. He was amazed when I told him it only had a four-cylinder in it. That man had respect for an American truck and for his Elder.

That '93 Grand Caravan will never get tough with me again!!

True, but I think it’s more about spanking the driver than the truck ? that $h1teating grin when they get too cocky next to a Ford 4-banger…. Priceless….
