If both were for sale used at 150,000 miles, which would you buy? There you are.

Just bought a new 2020 ford ranger and I have to say that right as soon as I sat in the truck and took it for a drive I fell in love. 🥰

Great review; great video-specially the last part! God bless you and all of your listeners 😊🙏🏽

That music "cameo" was disturbing 😂😂 but your videos are awesome dude! Very fun and informative

I bought a Ranger. At 6’4”’, I don’t fit in the Taco. My head hit the head liner, and I had to recline the front seat to have adequate vision out the windshield. Ranger feels like my previous Sierra 1500 with respect to comfort in the drivers seat. Sold.

Killed that MWS cover. I'm pretty sure I heard that exact version at my church as a kid but yours was far better.

I think that was a very fair and thoughtful comparison. Unfortunately, I miss a lot of your videos because they don't automatically pop up on my feed even though I've been a long time subscriber. I have to go looking for them but it's always worth it. I appreciate you keeping all of us in your prayers. I'm sure a lot of us do the same for you.

Good reviews, man. Keep it up! 🤙

Nice job Isaac. I love the ranger and I wish I could have it. I’m not the biggest Michael W Smith fan, but I do like some of his music. I went to a raceway in PA and I got the to see my dream cars up close, including the mustang bullit. It was amazingly. God bless u man.

Really good job. The only thing I wish you would have done is mention is the space in the backseats. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

I own 19 Ranger Lariat and it is a good truck, looks wise IMO it is the best. There are however some options deleted from the Lariat trim level and I wish Ford would address them. You noted the lack of the powered rear slider also missing, E.g., no memory seat function, no powered vertical seat adjustment in my Lariat. No split folding rear seat, no power outlets in bed or dampened tailgate., no heated steering wheel. All of the options I mentioned come std. on the Lariat F 150, in fact I've had all of them on my last F 150 XLT. Also the competition has many of those options on their mid size trucks. Here, is a good truck that could be a great truck. I owned several Tacoma's in the past and I liked them however the Ford motor and transmission is top notch. Thanks for the review. I think these reviews give people valuable information and it helps them decide what truck best suits their needs. nothing replaces a test drive though.

Loved the Michael W Smith and Reading Rainbow references. lol I will soon be leasing a Tacoma, so thanks for the reviews! My decision was mainly based on residual value. The Tacoma’s hold their value so well that lease payments are 100s less per month compared to the Ranger, Colorado, and Canyon I was quoted. Praying for you while you are following God’s leading in college!

If you lift the seats in the back of the ranger you also have storage compartments

I bought a White Ranger with the black appearance package. Everything else is the same but it looks 100x better than this model

Great video man!

Fords are just soooo much more comfortable for road trips. I have owned a Tacoma amd f350 and there really is no comparison for comfort. Not the same comparison but Fords are powered how a truck should be. Im a life long toyota fan and have owned mostly toyotas with only 1 ford. Tacos are really underpowered.

Loved the Reading Rainbow reference. Tacoma all the way.

I am currently shopping mid-size trucks. I have it narrowed down to Ranger FX2, Tacoma TRD sport. It’s really going to come down to the test drive. I currently own a Ram 1500 quad cab and I love it but it’s becoming cumbersome to park and maneuver in crowded conditions. Your videos are awesome. God Bless.

1 minute in... that intro was gold lol

EXCELLENT REVIEW.

Watching a lot of Tacoma stuff and truck reviews in general. Just stumbled across your video and find out you’re in Easton! I’m in Scranton! Just thought it was cool

Great video! I liked that you didn’t take a side.

I’d take the Tacoma - but geesh heated seats should be standard for that trim level. Great review and compare

My deal-breaker between the Tacoma and Ford is I'm just skeptical about the eco-boost type of engines in the long-term after watching Scotty Kilmer talking about the bad sides of eco-boost engines: they dilute the engine over time and that's not good. The Ranger has it, but not the Tacoma, so I went with the Tacoma. I don't want to put down the Ford Ranger because it does have its own features and better payload & towing capabilities than the Tacoma. The Ranger looks more suitable for those who want to tow more than what the Tacoma can tow. Other than that, the rest of the features are pretty much preference of the consumer.

Well, I just had to comment, we’re considering a Tacoma and came across your video. The last few minutes just blessed my heart 🤗 I love your Jesus filled heart and pray you continue to let your faith shine. 🥰🙌🏻

You're great! My prayer request is so that guides my decision on the truck that I'll most benefit from for my new business. God bless you!

Love both trucks I have a 2020 Ford ranger XLT sport. Might swap over to the Taco next time I love both brands

I love the fact that the Ranger tailgate has to be supported while opening. Makes you one with the truck 👍 🤜🤛

Where do we buy your album? I can not continue living without that angelic voice filling my day

I have the 19 Ranger fx4 lariat, the parking in small spaces is awesome, and you’d be surprised about the power, specially when you get the ford performance tune done, great little truck, I traded my ram 1500 19 classic for the ranger, plus I’m saving fuel :)

I'm a commercial sales manager for Automotive parts and I know what I sell to service garages and it's not Toyota Tacoma parts!! I'll take my TRD off road any day!! Nice honest video though...

I was laughing so hard when you mentioned the singing career... covering Micheal w. Smith. Lol

I subscribed for many reasons but the main reason was when you mentioned that you have begun speaking about your faith... #KeepItUp p.s. my prayer request is that I'm also in the market or and they look out for a truck. Even though I'm working with a budget here, I believe one day, will also have the great experience of owning my own truck someday... And hopefully it has four wheel drive. 😏☺️😅😅😅

Forgot dual zone climate control and full LED taillights in the Ford.

Toyota should bring the Platinum and 1794 trim levels to the Tacoma

Hey Alpha, I was going to purchase the Tacoma but ended up with the Ranger and happy I did.

I agree with you Toyota 100

I think it’s important to point out that while they do have back seats neither of these are particularly comfortable for adults. I’m 6’1”. Not even my kids could sit comfortably behind me in one of these because the interior is more like a compact to midsize sedan. If the backseat was really only for an EDC bag, some groceries, and maybe a medium sized dog, I’d give either a thumbs up. But if I’m being honest I’d compare the Chevy among them as well. Also I’ve hated the grill of the Tacos for the last 5-7 years. I think my Taco was a 2011. Only a couple years later they switched that that fugly style that has persisted for a while. No bueno.

That trump expression was spot on 👌🏻

I love my '19 Taco

Hello!! I’m not trying to stir the pot, but I am genuinely torn between getting a Toyota Tacoma vs. a Ford Ranger and would love some help deciding. I read the comments of all the videos and see that Ford people love Fords as do Toyota people love Toyotas. I have not test driven either one, nor have I owned either of them in the past. I take great care of my current vehicles, but I’m looking to get a truck in early/mid 2022. My wife and I enjoy paddle boarding, road biking, and we do a lot of camping in the spring/fall. We have been limited to some campsites due to trail being too rough for our car, and have mainly planned trips that fit our current gear. We are both 5’10”, I am about 240lbs and she around 140lbs. We have rented/borrowed trucks in the past, but I feel like we would benefit from a truck for our future. I’m not sure which truck to buy because they both have pro’s and con’s to our wants. For instance, we want individual thermostats during our drives: she gets cold easily but I am warm most of the time. We want to be able to put our paddle boards in the back and want good tie down spots. We want to be able to take our bikes any where. We want leather interior with heated and cooled seats. We want something durable. We want to be able to enjoy the truck as an outdoor adventure companion. We want to be able to have adult sized passengers in the back seat without having to worry about space. Anyway, any awesome feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I seriously considered both of them. The only thing I did like about the ranger was the power. It had better low end torque than the Tacoma. I felt that the other thing like the rangers bed and dash lay out including the sync system were not very advanced and easy to use. I worried about the eco boost reliability. Tacoma was better looking better infotainment system in the 2020. Better bed design. Maybe not the most powerful engine but toyota has proven more reliable than Ford's eco boost. I picked up my cement SR5 double cab in late July and no regrets.

The Ranger has better consumer reports reliability ratings for the years they’ve both been available FWIW. But we’ll see how that plays out 10 years into the future. I own a 2003 Ranger, but looking to buy a 2023 Tacoma to get more off-roadability.

Help here please Ranger or Tacoma? I am going to check them both on a test drive soon and I haven't decided yet... 😭😭

The singing career cut away was really funny. Great job LOL

in the market for a new mid size, dont want all the bed and whistles just 4 WD and cruise and air, but no one has much on there lots so this helps

Would be cool to have the Colorado zr2 with the upgraded package like the Tacoma you have up there.

One of the first things I noticed at the beginning of this video was a Chick-fil-A van going by.

Had a 2017 taco which was fantastic the reason I bought a 2021 taco. The 2021 has a vibration that it been in to Toyota 4 time now once with a Toyota engineer. Now I am going to do a drive alone with another Toyota engineer. Pretty much done with the taco!!!! LEMON LAW!

Which is better off road,or for a work truck.

What lift height and tire size did the taco have

I appreciate your review of these trucks. I mainly subscribed to your channel because of your willingness to openly profess that you’re a believer in Jesus Christ, and because I enjoyed your review of these “baby” trucks (my f-150 was totaled and I now have a ‘19 Ranger Lariat). Lol! Have a blessed day!

When it came time to Upgrade my 04 Pre 🌮. I went with 20 Ranger.

You should have compared both at the top trim level, like Ford Lariat and the Tacoma Pro that would be a fair comparison .

If the Tacoma had ford seats it’d be the perfect midsize truck, but they’re so bad currently I’d feel bad for a guy putting 200k on a Tacoma.

if you know, then you know. With a Tacoma add the marlincrawler txfer case and crawl double low 4x4

you got balls of steel singing for us👍

Cant believe the new Tacos don't have the cubbies in the box like the 2nd gens did

Both should be good options. I went Tacoma but it was a toss up for me

God Bless you

I just got a 2021 Ranger Lariat FX4 a couple days ago. I'm not a regular off-roader (few truck owners are). It's a solid truck that will be used primarily on cement roads but I wanted something for occasional light-duty off-roading too and something that my wife could drive and park comfortably. The interior could use some improvement. There's a lot of plastic, the leather is slippery, the gear shifter doesn't have illuminated gear selections and there is no grab handle on the driver side. Those should have been included in the Lariat trim. However, the technology package is good, the B&O ten speaker system is awesome and the power / torque is good. I also got the carbonized gray with blacked out paint scheme, which looks badass.. So I'm happy with it.

I own a truck for 20 years,I bought 2019 Ford Ranger FX 4 Lariat don’t need a damping tail gate just need to hold the tailgate so it won’t slam down,just being lazy.I love the Ranger more room than the 🌮.

Just got my 2020 ranger!

The Ranger tows more, hauls more, rides better, is faster, gets better fuel-economy, has a fully-boxed frame, has better crawl-control, has better visibility over the hood, and tall people can actually fit in it. The Tacoma has more configurability in terms of engine choices and cab/bed choices, a dampened tailgate, has more bed features, a more modern-looking interior, a power rear window and has an optional moonroof. I don't want to hear any BS about reliability! The Ranger has proven itself to be incredibly reliable overseas, there's no reason why it would all of the sudden cease to be reliable over here. Yes, the Tacoma has better resale value, but you're likely to make up for that in purchase price since Ford dealers are actually willing to deal, unlike most Toyota dealers. At the end of the day, the Ranger does more things better, but the few things it doesn't do, the Tacoma does do.

Time will tell. My tacoma runs like a new truck at 150k. My 1993 ranger needed trans work at 150k

I like the new Ranger, but it can't beat my Tacoma. A 4 cyl turbo in a truck seems to be asking for trouble, but not a bad little truck. I don't see the Ranger sticking around though. I rarely ever see any around in Canada.

I went with a 21 Tacoma over a Ranger because I don't believe the turbo 4 cyl is going 243,000 miles like my last Tacoma. Also the cockpit of the Ranger looks like an Escape and the rear seat does not fold down flat.

I wanna drive the same thing for the next 20 years with minimal issues, can both these trucks do that?

the ford ranger on a side view and back view looks like the 2018 Toyota Hilux, I wish they sell the hilux in America but they don't :(

Ford has proved tubo I4/V6 (depending on the size of vehicles) work just fine over traditional V6/V8, But I think the option for the bigger Engines should be there, because turbos wear things out faster and have more to go wrong, so a Naturally Asperated V6/V8 could probably last much longer or turbo I4/V6 (depending what ford offers) is not enough power for you and you want to trough on an aftermarket turbo/super charger on your V6/V8

I recently bought 2021 taco after owning a 2007 taco. Never had any issue with 300k. Overall Style, resale, and reliability on taco is better. With ranger priced similar to taco its a no brianer to go with taco.

Tacoma jump gears? It must gave a broken tooth somewhere, well i hope the tooth grows back on its own as it ages!

That lift, wheel and tire package just made your toyota engine a dog. As soon as you add those mods it makes the engine seem anemic. True story. Toyota needs a major overhaul.

Torn between a ranger Tacoma or ram warlock drove a Tacoma red off road and warlock and I fucking loved it I’m gonna test drive the ranger tomorrow

That Michael W Smith video 😂😂😂😂 🌎

Koch? Wow I didn't realize you where in NEPA

Like the details but comparing the top level to just an offfroad is hard. Townshelf vs top level isn't a comparison

The new tacoma looks like a tonka truck

I have a 2000 Ranger. Does that count?

I just love the looks of the Tacoma but do looks really matter?

You may be able to tow a little more with the Ford but that 4 cylinder will not last as long as the 6 cylinder in the Tacoma

I’ve owned both and the ford in my opinion fit my needs better.

I know this is an older video. I looked at almost all the midsized trucks and asked myself 2 questions. If I bought one which one would I want to keep for longevity? Which one would hold its value best if I need to sell it? Tacoma all day! Buy a Tacoma today sell it for more $$ next year. The rest take a beating on.

I love my 19 Tacoma

RANGER FTW

How tall are you and how much head space do you have in the taco?

That 4 might make more torque on the dyno but in the real world the v6 will work a whole lot less than the screaming 4

so even though Chevy has a pretty awesome ZR2 package with front and rear lockers, how come nobody seems to even consider that truck??

👍👍👍👌👌👌

Which truck is more comfortable to drive?

Could you do a review on the Hyundai Palisade!!!!

Go west young man.

There is a 49$ option for a dampened tailgate on all models.

ALL the rangers have the 7500 pound towing capacity not just the 2wd. Payload is all that changes

2022 Shinebox

Will be interesting to see how the next-gen Frontier compares to these two. We already know its going to have the most powerful engine in its class, and if the Titan is anything to judge by Nissan will also target most standard safety and tech features as well. In either event, right now is not a very good time to buy a new truck as you're better off waiting until next year when you will have the next-gen F-150 and Frontier as well as newcomers in the form of the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz, not to mention a slew of electric trucks which may or may not still be coming before 2022.

Ford's lack of manual transmission means there is only one choice (between these two)

You gotta be related to Ryan Reynolds. Its uncanny.

Should of used the ranger tremor.

Are they both reliable trucks ?
