    Watching it right now. I don’t care for towing but still the Tacoma seems like the winner.

    Just imagine if the Taco had a nice 10sp trans.

    Edit: the 2 reviewers chose the Ranger for 8:02 vs 8:08 uphill tow time, 5.4 vs 5.0 mpg, 3db quieter cab, surprisingly better ride quality under load, and 2” more headroom. However the headroom is unfair because the Tacoma has a sunroof unlike the Ranger.

    Thanks for posting the numbers.. I can't stand those guys so I refused to watch. Sounds like pretty similar performance though. Why was headroom a factor in a tow test though? These guys just nitpick thigs.
