Sad to get rid of Manual, but no choice

Same logic, I bet this this guy should've got a RRanger?

Just for argument sake, I know normally Toyota is better on reliability than Ford. However, Ford sells ALOT more trucks in US than Toyota and builds a lot more in the US

 

in the last ford thread i posted there was like 3 guys that had their ranger transmissions replaced. that is about the same amount that have been proven to have failed on new 4th gen taco... why isnt the ford ranger sky falling???

 

The ford 2.3 is actually pretty stout. I've seen far more cases of problems with the 3.4 in the Tundra, LX and GX so we don't have a lot of room to talk. Also Toyota is basically following the Ford strategy by sticking a 2.4 in everything under the sun. Both the Ranger and the new Tacoma have a fair share of transmission issues reported.

 

So basically having the same issues as the '24 Tacoma. So, the only thing to do at this point is pick which ever one you like the most. Lemon's in all the groups.

 

Toyota's been such a bummer lately. I went through a three-month nightmare with my 3rd gen after I bought it, and dealing with Toyota was a nightmare. Was about ready to give up entirely and just get something else. But I got my issues mostly worked out before I really lost my shit.

No excuses for Toyota quality lately. That's what built the brand, after all. If they don't have that quality edge, they're going to lose a lot of business.

I drove the Ranger Raptor for a couple of weeks (doing a test for a review). It was...decent. I wasn't bowled over by that truck, either. But it's clearly a good option if it ticks all your boxes.

 

i mean his tacoma might do that also

never had an issue with my rangers engine just the 10r80 trans lol

 

missing the point. the OP said he couldnt trust his taco after they replaced the transmission because they couldnt tell him the issue was fixed... whats to say the ford issue is fixed? from that thread you shouldnt be able to trust the ranger either..
