New Tacoma vs New Ranger

well let me sit on my thrown wearing my crown….i want a sunroof and swamp ass/ balls chilling seats as well as digital rear view…

Ride was fine and you notice the extra space in the rear for sure. The rear seat arm rest was nice and no need for rear vents as the front ones worked fine for the rear. Really comes down to creature comforts.

 

Lack of ventilated seats is a big bummer IMO as well. It's one of 2 big knocks I have on the ranger.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

You bet. I was just shocked they had 2 there. It was an order but guy lost his job and cancelled on Monday. Been there all week.

 

Think you will able say at 200K?

 

Don't buy that truck lol, it's got bad juju. Feel bad for that dude.

 

The anti big screen guys here may like the Ranger screen being more integrated and not sticking up (I find Toyotas position to be safer as your eyes aren’t pointed down as much).
Transaction price will be much lower on the Ranger, and for those worried about reliability just add the 10 year/175k miles warranty for $5,500

 

None of the turbo trucks are making it to 200k.

No car or truck being sold today is a 200k mile vehicle anymore.

Consume the next CARB addled “exciting” turbo hybrid product in five years while taking a huge bath on your trade-in and a 96 month car mortgage at 14% APR.

 

I wonder how long the rangers phasers will last?

They aren’t?

 

But you bought a 3G, they all need a tune.

 

Available Raptor with that sweet sweet markup!!

 

Ranger, Colorado and Canyon used to be available in different body configurations. The new gens of both are only crew cab 5 foot short box. Only choice is how much chrome do you want.

I really appreciate Toyota for having multiple choices and a manual transmission. Nissan is a second runner up to Toyota now. I don't see the point of a 5' box. Is that configuration really better than a Ridgeline? Maybe the Raptor and TRD OR and Pro are clearly more entertaining off road, but for the majority of buyers wanting a new truck that fits in the garage and basically replaced the sedans and SUVs they previously bought.....

 

Neither of those 4 cyl turbo trucks will last 200,000 miles.

 

Too bad, so sad.

 

Seen a shelter green Ranger Raptor on the road yesterday. Come to think of it, that's the only 24 Ford I recall seeing on the road.

 

I'd take that article with a grain of salt. That's not to say turbo cars can't last over 200k miles but many of those engines have barely been out a few years.

Not only that but many of the highest mileage recorded are way less than 100k miles. Seems like the Saab and Mitsubishi were the only ones cracking 200k miles. Probably because they were the oldest.

 

They use a highest mileage reported and only for a few it’s around 200k. That’s telling.

Turbo cars won’t last as long as NA without a major overhaul.

They are forced to be unnecessarily complex by regulations.

 

That because the rest are in the shop. JK couldn't resist

 

I think a ridiculously low pressure 4 cylinder turbo in a boring Honda that doesn’t see a lot of abuse might make it to 200K, but not something in a pick up truck that’s expected to do truck stuff. I bought my four-cylinder poverty package third generation for a reason.
