Now that’s a fact!

Another thing I was thinking about when I drove my Tacoma today was the “sitting on the floor” feeling. I’m more “upright “ in the Ranger. Every Toyota truck I’ve owned (since my 1974 HiLux) has made my legs stretch forward like driving a car. The Ranger has me sitting up in a more...

Sorry for the delayed response - the Tacoma can do for us everything that the Ranger can do. The Ranger just seems to do things more effortlessly. The Ranger is also more comfortable to me. It just seems more refined than the Tacoma. But I am definitely a fan of Toyota. We pulled our horse...

Yeah, we love our 2007 Tacoma. It’s dead on reliable and a good looking truck. It’s simply not in the same class as the Ranger. But it’s a great farm truck and we appreciate it for what it is. Tows the horse trailer, always starts right up. My Ranger is so comfortable, efficient, and does...

I like my fx4 shocks! I don’t even feel the washboards in my gravel driveway!

Where did you get the letters for the grille? That looks really good.

For what it’s worth, I’m very comfortable in my Ranger. But I can’t get comfortable in my wife’s Subaru Forester. Everybody’s different.

Yeah, they fit absolutely great and the Ford logos are really not visible at all. I’m glad I chose them. They look more “factory” than any other splash guards I’ve seen.

I think the Ranger is the top truck!

We have a 2007 Tacoma and a 2019 Ranger. Mid-sized trucks meet our needs perfectly. I’ve owned F-150s and F-350s. I don’t have anything big to tow anymore, so I can get by with a smaller truck. I have several friends who have full size trucks and they rarely haul anything. I think they just...

I also wanted the longer bed, and since the Ranger is my daily driver and the kids are grown up the scab was my choice. There was a white Lariat and my XLT chili pepper scab on the lot. I was going to buy the Lariat, but couldn’t resist the red! I haven’t seen another scab on the road around...

Great mileage for a truck with the Ranger’s capabilities. I love my truck.

Mine has the chrome package on an STX with hot chili pepper red. The leather seats on the Lariat didn’t feel as comfortable.

I bought my Ranger and held on to my Tacoma (2007). Great truck, but not even in the same league as the Ranger. The Tacoma has become our farm truck because it’s so reliable and has cost us nothing (other than regular maintenance). It’s apples and oranges. My Ranger is a great vehicle and so...

I’m getting old and starting to think like everybody’s younger than me... I was thinking about all of the high tech computer controls these vehicles have, yet at the heart of things remains a mechanical internal combustion engine. No insult intended. My truck seems to be operating more...

Yeah, I think it’s just the way mechanical things work. Even though we have really advanced vehicles from a technological standpoint, they’re still, for the most part, mechanical. Old people like me remember that engines need a certain amount of time to get up to speed when they’re cold and...

Then something’s wrong with your truck.

Yeah, I’m definitely impressed with the power train - technology is amazing. I traded in a 2010 Camaro SS (426 hp, 6 speed manual transmission) and I could probably beat it with my Ranger street racing just because of the transmission. And I’m averaging just under 25 mpg with almost 4,000 miles...

Why would anybody who wants to have a fast vehicle buy a midsized pickup truck? Doesn’t seem like the ideal platform for a quarter mile rocket. I’m probably missing something here.

I will hang on to my Tacoma because it’s a fantastic truck. It’s been dead-on reliable and is a high quality vehicle. But my Ranger is in a completely different class. I go from the Tacoma to the Ranger several times per week, and in my opinion the Ranger is so much more refined...
