Tacoma finishes 4th in Pickup Trucks.com shootout?

What happens at the nursing home, stays at the nursing home.

 

So the tacoma got 1mpg better fuel economy with 90% payload then empty. Hmmm. Nice test.

Had mostly Toyotas and a few Hondas and I am not surprised that Ridgeline did so well.

Had maybe 10-12 Toyota trucks to 1 Ridgeline and Ridgeline was maybe a little better on overall quality control.

The Ridgeline is not a truck, but an SUV with a bed.

Two different markets that are now getting blurred by marketing.

I did like the trunk in the bed, dual swing tailgate and all time 4WD (really AWD with a locker).

If I had a family and did light off-roading, I would get a Ridgeline ...... If I was an off-roader, it's Tacoma all the way.
