Tacoma outselling Ranger 2:1

Race engines don't have to last nearly as long as truck engines. That cylinder bore welding tech is a cost saving measure, and a step in the wrong direction for something like a truck motor, which people are counting on it lasting 10 years or more....

 

to be fair I think that may just be to whats going on these days, the 3 big Toyota dealers here used to have 40+ Tacoma's on the lot at any given time. With in the last few months you'd be lucky to find a dealer here with 3 Tacoma's on the lot, and they are gone the next day.

as of today, Brandon Ford which advertises itself as the world largest volume dealer has 40+ rangers

 

You're probably right. The Ford dealership is also close to where I saw the Rangers, and the buyers most likely wanted a Ranger for what ever reason.

Last week a saw at least 4 or 5 new Tacomas on a dealers lot, close to the road. There could have been more, or few used ones in the mix. I don't know what their total inventory was. I wonder if they sold any since then?

 

Haven't read through all 11 pages of this thread, but apparently the Ranger fits 33s without trimming :
