Gotta agree with every bit of that!For sure the Ranger - a better truck IMO in so many ways.
Looking at JD Power ("The J.D. Power 100-Point Score is based on hundreds of thousands of independent and unbiased opinions of verified car owners") the Ranger beats the Tacoma for quality and reliability. Google 'JD Power and Ford Ranger' for more detail
Also, US News ranks the Ranger higher. Google 'US News and Ford Ranger'.
Glad I got rid of the Tacoma and got the Ranger. I could not imagine driving that many miles a day in the Tacoma. It has a harsh ride, seat was too low, and it felt like looking out a tunnel. The visibility in the Ranger is so much nicer. Tacoma felt sluggish all the time and Ranger has a nice get up and go to it.
Also, I like the Lane Keep Assist. Especially on longer trips and that is not an option on the Tacoma.
Other advantages of the Ranger IMO:
Payload and towing are much better
Gas mileage is better
Steel bed vs plastic
Steel bumpers
Fully boxed frame
Made in USA, buy an American company, with the most American parts of any vehicle - if that matters to you
All 4 disc breaks
Remote power tailgate lock - great for curbside pickups without getting out of the truck
Those are just some of the items that come to mind.
For the Tacoma, I do like the back seat folding flat and the storage below and behind the seats. Also, the power sliding rear winder is nice.
5k oil changes for me too!
Iāve gone with the factory recommended Motorcraft Semi-Syn.
(I do use Full Syn and longer change intervals for my Toyotas).
