As someone who came from a Tacoma, just shy of having it 2 years before it was totaled in an accident, had 0 major issues but again it has pros/cons and so does my ranger. Lets also be real 90% of people who buy trucks have 0 purpose of using it for its true potential, majority mall crawl who also spew the capacities and categories their truck is “so far superior”. Not trying to stir anything up just my 2 cents of what I’ve gathered being on truck sites. Really enjoying the ranger tho in the short time I’ve had it just think it’s funny the back and forth on both sites in regards to the opposite truck.TacomaWorld forum members have made a name for themselves as some of the biggest idiots in the small truck world. Oblivious to the many flaws the truck has and quick to put down anything else. Occasionally TacomaWorld sends spies to this forum to stir things up. "Kevarmy79"... You're too new here to know what's that's all about... and that's a good thing hahah. Tacoma owners absolutely HATE the Ranger because it's such a better truck in 90% of the ways a truck is measured. We're not validating ourselves - Most of the ribbing we give the Tacoma is for the benefit of ignorant Tacoma owners.
There's a couple things about the Tacoma I liked - #1 by far is an option for a manual transmission. This is somewhat helped by the fact that the Ranger does automatic really well. Unlike my old Escape, where I tromp on the gas and it takes an eternity for the thing to decide what gear to be in.
I would say that people who have mid-size trucks have a higher percentage of realistic use than full-size truck owners. Then it probably goes up again for heavy duty trucks, since those are so specialized, huge, and expensive they're not an investment to be had lightly.As someone who came from a Tacoma, just shy of having it 2 years before it was totaled in an accident, had 0 major issues but again it has pros/cons and so does my ranger.

Whether you think so or not, there are real differences in everything from build philosophy, to quality, even brand image. They all matter to the buyer.As someone who came from a Tacoma, just shy of having it 2 years before it was totaled in an accident, had 0 major issues but again it has pros/cons and so does my ranger.

Corrections: a real SUV is for driving off-road, while a crossover is for nothing but image. A minivan is for family hauling.A truck is for work, a sports car is for cruising, an SUV/crossover is for family hauling.
