Offroad trucks: Am I crazy to consider a Tacoma SR5 over a Ranger FX4?

But their list is very deceiving. They rate by number of problems per 100 vehicles. They don't rate by severity. So you could have company "A" blow an engine and company "B" have two minor problems and they would say company "A" had a much better car because they only had one issue.

 

Does anyone have a non AI summary of this video?

 

Just watch the last 3 minutes. So nuggets mentioned are no 6ft option, expensive, 2.3l engine rattles, Ford reliability is questionable. Funny though my wife spotted a Ranger Raptor at Costco this weekend and was like what the hell is that and why we did not drive one. Told her it was a Ford and she was like enough said. It did look sweet though.

 

Yea, I love the looks of the top trim Canyon, but the GM product is a non starter.

 

I buy a lot of cars for work etc.

My 52k premium OR Tacoma is way better quality than my 90k Raptor after 5 years i bet its trade in is close to the same as the same year Tacoma. My 19 Raptor cam phasers fell apart at 5500 miles. Its build quality was awful. I also had a 19 Denali turbo diesel 3/4 ton land yacht . That thing was in the shop 5 times in the first month. Traded for the Raptor with 900 miles on it. Our 2020 Outback has a wiring rattle behind the radio they cant find ( had to fix it myself) . I had the 2016 tacomaOR in late 2015 it had a lot of TSB issues and the power sucked compared to the 24. I feel like i keep getting trucks built on a Friday regardless of country it was built in. My 2024 Taco is all good so far.
