    Ranger probably has a better interior honestly than the Tacoma. But resale value is where the Tacoma shine if you care about that sorta stuff

    There's a thread somewhere on this discussion group (or maybe at the other group) where it was decided that the appropriate comparison is not Ranger v Taco, but Raptor v Taco.

    Have you considered that, Knight405?

    It would be funny if someone actually modded one into a beast.

    Damn... I click on these threads with at least a modicum of interest, read maybe one page, then the thread shits itself.

    Guess I'll be sticking with my Taco.

    OP - You need to apply for Tacoma ownership and I'm not sure you have what it takes. Best to just save face and settle for the Ranger.
