    So far it looks like Ford wins in the following categories:
    Speakers
    Long distance road trips
    Speed
    Gas prices
    Better interior but kinda subjective

    Tacoma wins:
    Resale
    Off-roading
    Free sunroof
    6 foot bed option
    Shocks
    Reliability

    Stuff like best body and colors available are up for grabs.

    Everyone is afraid of taking a leap on a product without a lot of data available.

    Wife's car was getting serviced today so I checked out both new Tacomas and the new Ranger. The interior of the Ranger felt cramped and small. I only had to sit in it for a short while to know I wouldn't buy one. I prefer my 08 Tacoma interior to the new Ranger.

    Go for it if you want an explorer with a bed. Im not sold on that 2.3L after the issues they had with it in the Focus RS. Coming from a Ford ST and driving Ford products at work, I feel like I have a good grasp at what kind of product Ford is putting out these days. I'll stick with my 'yota.

    Yes. Any joint venture between GM and Ford to create a transmission that has 5 times as many parts is clearly forward thinking.

    I'm still really curious to see how the ecoboosts fare in the long run. In theory they've designed it right, but they also said that about the 6.0. And #ecoboom is a hashtag...

    I'm not knocking the 2wd, I have a 2wd myself. There were just a few posts around here of people not researching and bought a 2wd then realized they wanted or even needed a 4wd.

    I'm kinda confused. Why come to a Toyota site to ask about a Ford product? hmmm, if I want info regarding a Toyota Should I go to a Mini Cooper site? They are cute little buggers though!
