It was the color I loved. I can see where it can be misleading.



The Tacoma...:puke:💩💩
I really liked the Tundra 1794 hybrid I recently test drove. Just not sure about the engine durability with that V6. Wish they still had the V8.

Based on looks alone, ZR2 for the win. Based on brand alone, keep your Ranger and investments are a better option until the 600 hp hybrids come along 🫣.
The wife is convincing me I don't need it.

The drawbacks are: alternator is mounted in a terrible spot just like the Ranger, worse MPG, higher bed liftover, lower towing capacity,.

The pluses are: It's a VERY sharp truck, the best looking of the midsizes IMO, the ride from the DSSV shocks was great on the one I recently drove, the interior is much more modern, the cooled seats are a BIG draw along with the lifetime powertrain warranty.

My initial goal was a single vehicle instead of my current 3. Driving in GA trails means you will definitely encounter deep mud so the alternator is a concern.

It is certainly a want and not a need.

Now I'm leaning toward keeping my Ranger and my Bronco.

I'm about as indecisive as my wife choosing a restaurant.

Edit: And another incentive for keeping the Ranger just appeared, though I'm sure it would also work with the ZR2.
