Nice to see a midsize American truck up to par with my bad ass Tacoma .. almost, time will tell if ranger is as durable! But I have to say , very impressed!99.5% of us working folks won’t get this rough . Mostly muddy roads on public managed hunting land .hey I’m starting to wary up to guys. I like the way you talk you russian. O teal Toyota’s run in Iraq . The sand don’t seem bother them ( Hilux) tough , also in Africa, Australia, God bless um, but these Toyota’s are tough, and the very very best mid heavy duty trucks build. I wonder why they not sold in North America? Damn rusty go get us one!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀
Note i can’t type , sorry. But on the tough as hell hilux, no match for our gun trucks . Put 2-3 24mm slugs Thur one and it’s dead. A .338 will go Thur one from stem to sturn . These are called machine killers I say too much sorrey🤣

This is why you guys are the most down to earth genuine car review channel you guys have fun an it shows on the camera fun to watch guys.
"I had to use my foot" off road problems in 2019.
How convenient that had to be.
technology man
Haha but at one point only 2 wheels had contact to the ground!
🤣🤣🤣
I've never gone offroading and just got my first truck, and even I know you shouldn't rely and all these fancy electronic traction systems. Just don't be a shitty driver. Lol..the way I look at it, if people were doing this kind of stuff back in the day without all that fancy shit, there's no reason we can't do it now.
I love how you park right in front of the rock clearance and you comment “that was close” like bro give him some room
😆
Exactly what I was thinking
This is what happens when people who don’t wheel try to wheel lol this whole review was a joke

@@ruttlicker1139 this video reminded me why I stopped watching tfl
I thought that the Taco would absolutely destroy the Ford off road, but that Ranger really holds its own! I would pick the Ranger myself for its combination of comfort, carrying capacity, performance and decent off road capability. Great video, Guys!
A lot of it is tires and driver. The rest only makes a minor difference. Ive driven a 2wd compact truck though shit full size 4wds got stuck in...did it with a FWD minivan once too.
Not to mention 20k less expensive. The TRD pro should be put up against the roush ranger or raptor.
Ranger raptor not being available in the US makes zero sense
Slow return. Best not to throw everything yet. They are testing V6's and diesel engines. I do believe the Raptor will come soon
Tylnorton isn’t it coming on July?
@@Miller_Lite Honestly I don't know. We're not sticking with this Ranger much longer because by the end of next year, we're due for a new gen Ford Ranger. This is only new to us and they made these Rangers since 2012 outside the US. There's a 3.0L V6 diesel they are testing for the 2022 model and as well as a 2.7L V6.
Vas Biliychuk man I think it’s because they are launching the bronco! They want all eyes on the Bronco! But you and I know that ranger raptor will sell like hot cakes!
Shughes hmm it very well could be, I forgot about the bronco
“Trail Control” a solution to a problem no one had....or wanted
Yep. Couldn't agree more. Makes people be bad drivers.
Jay Trock agreed. And drives the cost up too.
More programming to break the system. Brilliant!
odeis5 yup. How about adding the money spent on that to things like locking front diffs etc instead of useless features.
Yeah I don't understand a lot of modern electronic traction systems on trucks these days. Lock the differentials and use your damn foot. Problem solved.
TFL, Several of the crawl systems I have researched say in the manual that, 1-3 mph is for Descending, and 3-5 mph is for Ascending. (MOMENTUM)
Yes this is true. Its in the Toyota manual
You can tell they’re not really off road enthusiast. Their lines and momentum are all off.
make more excuses Taco fan boy
You obviously haven’t gone off road much. Even the best trucks will get stuck if you go slow. Especially with an unlocked diff.
@@Azula_7 that's exactly what they are testing! They arent there to show us their driving skills
I just took my new Ranger FX4 Lariat 3,800 miles (Idaho to Minnesota and back) and averaged 25.1 MPG. Very little freeway driving so my speeds were 70 MPH or under
A buddy is provided a new work truck every couple of years; most of his driving is on the freeway. His last rig was a Silverado, his newest a Ranger. He’s a good sized fella at 6-3 and 250. He indicates the Silverado was much quieter and more comfortable than the Ranger, and gas mileage maybe a couple mpg’s different.
“He’s using (what was it called Andre?)”
“Trail control”
“ *TRAIL PIMP* ”
I noticed that too xD
The kid is a Toyota brainwashee like his father. I'm sure he would have never said or done anything like that in regard to a Toyota product.
@@ruggv6217 He's just doing it for the camera, obviously he likes both of them.
God I LOVE the under car video angle. Really shows how the suspension and crawl control works!
I love my new modified Ford ranger FX four with a 2 inch lift and 33 inch Nitto tires it really rocks!
FINALLY! Some great footage with two relatively similar trucks being tested. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been a Toyota fanboy for a lot of years. Still own a Tundra and a 4-runner. But if I was forced to go buy a new midsized PU today it would be the Ranger. Thanks for the video guys and God bless.
I still have my first truck a 1991 Toyota 4x4 pickup 4cylinder.. 151,000 miles. Never getting rid of it
@@c.r.rg9529 those are great trucks. I had a 95 that had over 300k on it when I sold it. My 08 Tundra has 220k on it and my wife’s 4Runner has 200k on it. You should have plenty of life left in yours.
@@justjackfromsc that's the hope. And sounds like you have had some great toyota experiences as well

Ok, Toyota fanboy. We see that you are trying to be clever with your snide comment. Lol
@@Sig721Tau noice
Will it though?
I like the Trail Pimp system.
Pimpin' ain't greasy!
I just bought a 2021 Ranger XLT Tremor in cactus grey, and I LOVE it!! It’s even more suited for the off road, with additional skid plates, a slight lift more than the FX4, and a bump up in suspension, and some general grabber ATx off-road stock tires. If the FX4 was a slight winner over the Tacoma TRD Pro, then the Tremor would be a hands-down victor! I never thought I’d be a Ford man, but there it is!! 👍🏼
I've owned a few rangers, brother had a 17 tacoma TRD off road, He complained it was always shifting, traded it for a highlander LOL. That being said, I would probably buy a tremor also.
Bought mine 12/19.....love it
I’d get an F150 tremor. Ranger tremor needs more (only getting a .8” lift over factory)
@@BlackGT1999 if I didn’t want a narrower truck for some tighter trails I go on, I’d agree with you. Having said that, I suppose the narrower the vehicle, the more risk of tipping if it’s higher. They probably did what they (safely) could for height with the width of the vehicle.
Both great trucks! Great video, thanks a million!
I own the Ranger FX4 and use use it to haul around dirt bikes with some light off road trips as well. It's comfortable and the technology package is great. I've got almost 9,000 miles on it now and I love it. Originally, I was looking for a Tacoma, but thank you Ford for letting North America finally get this.
The trail pimp does really get on the throttle to get you over obstacles, but obviously can't predict when you're going to hop over and it needs to lay off. For rock gardens, your better off actually driving. To me, it's useful when on less-maintained fire roads with bikes and gear in the bed and I want to go slower than normal.
Toyota really missed the mark by not giving the Pro some real AT tires
people will add them either way... if you put BFGs from factory, half will want to switch to Goodyear Wranglers, Toyo, Falken... that can best be left up to the end user... also MPGs
They wanted to keep the mpg numbers best they could. Also like the other guy said, everyone who wants more aggressive tires will put whichever ones they want on either way. But I do agree I wish it did come with more aggressive tires. But can’t deny that it is still great off road right out of the lot and still very smooth on road with these tires.
This is an off road model of the truck. It should come with appropriate tires from the factory.
They are actually pretty good all around tires.
I agree, if I'm buying a off-road special truck, I want tires that match the truck. the fuel economy comments, if your for that buy a different trim level. Wranglers all season tires for the regular models, but when you upgrade to the Rubicon, they put aggressive tires on it. that only makes since.
The Ranger rock crawl without the locker engaged was impressive, violent but definitely impressive.
I have a 2019 Tacoma Pro with DAI....love the truck for exactly what I need...towing...daily commuter....weekend fun. Its super comfortable...dependable as hell...and looks fantastic. We are lucky to have so much choice....buy what makes you happiest.
Great video TFL. Glad to see more Ranger videos. The section where the taco failed on crawl control and the Ranger went up at 1 Mph was a great test of traction management! Great work can’t wait to see more!
This man really just called a plastic trim clip a drain nipple.
Aidan Rule he was high asf
That's why he picked the Tacoma
Just bought the cactus gray 2021 fx4 last week 😍
I how does it drive and if its not too intrusive how much was it
@@waylon9764 it drives amazing. I got t boned In the first one pretty hard totaled the truck but I didn’t feel a thing so they are pretty safe too. I have the same truck now FX4 Cactus gray but they gave me the black pack this time I think it was around 40 K after I got all the warranties in the Ford care plan
@@northbaybassanglers1068 cool good to know you were safe bud have a good one
You guys do the BEST reviews and are VERY funny and also informative! I cant believe you dont have more subs than you do honestly! Ive been subed ever since you did the review on that yellow 09 cobalt ss (i own one and LOVE it!) and watch and thumbs up all your vids!
Always like seeing more ranger content!
Enjoyed the review and video of these 2 trucks. Thanks for sharing Andre and Tommy.
Love the video, thanks TFL!
Ranger gang wya
The infamous Andre drag race cry "wha?!...no...no...no" gets me everytime 😂
Is it just me or is the tacoma the only mid-size truck on the market whose front half actually looks like a truck? I swear everything else looks like a minivan cut in half with a truckbed.
What about that new Tesla truck?
The front looks good, the rear not so much. I'd take Tacoma front with Colorado ass.
@@KapitanPisoar1 Really? Colorado has the same issue the ranger has, its too tall and narrow in the back with oversized tail lights. The tacoma is the only one that has a normal looking rear end.
Gmc Canyon looks like a truck.
Truer words have never been spoken. The poor Ranger looks like it has a Taurus front clip...
This is a great video. Full of great info and authentically funny. Well done, fellas.
Both are good trucks just think it’s cool that the ranger comes back strong
Low range, first gear, and let the clutch out seems like a much more effective crawl control system to me.
Except neither of these trucks have a manual transmission LOL...I believe its an option in the Tacoma in certain configurations, but not in the one that TFL has :(.
William Sevier think 2016 was the last year for the bolt action in the Toyota
Wrong. MT still alive & well in 2020 Taco.
Moby33 so you are saying you can get a manual transmission in a Tacoma 4x4? No way. Try and build it on Toyota.com website and see if you can find the automatic transmission delete/add 5 spd manual.
M. Black Ha, ha...okay, whatever you say. I guess I didn’t just buy my brand new TRD Pro 6MT in OH and drove it 2340 miles back to Socal. A Pro I ordered 3 months ago. If you don’t believe me, spend all of 30 seconds doing a UA-cam search...plenty of 2020 Taco MT reviews already up on the net. Or don’t believe me...no skin off my arse. Cheers...now going to shift some gears in my fantasy MT 2020 Taco.
"I know this truck is more expensive, slower, less comfortable, outdated, etc. ...
But I really, really, really LIKE IT!"
Tommy = Millenial Commentator! 🤣
Yeah, exactly! He likes it for the snorkel. SMH...
Lol gotta bring back the original dynamic duo!
Especially when the Ranger is actually comfortable to sit in vs. the Taco with that Cro-Magnon man seating position.
billy mc it’s awesome if you sit like a lego man
Only boomers are concerned with comfort lol
Another great review..love it!
This channel is... AWESOME! You guys rock..
I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 fully equipped, and I don't regret it on buying it. I love it, and for me, it looks more masculine, I don't care if it's not fast, cuase I won't be racing on it, and is really reliable for sure!!!!!.
People always want more then the truck is made for. Enjoy your truck👍
Theres no such thing as a Masculine Toyota...…..They are Girls trucks dude
@@toddbob55 only bitches talk like that. Go whine on the forums if you wanna compain
@Todd bob I guess you don't know what real trucks are huh dude??
One like for the comparison, and one like for the nitrates for chest pain
Video production quality is great !!
Your format is getting better and better ! Nice video :)
You guys do a good job together. Well done!
Ford.. every time! Also digging the camera angles. You can tell TFL is getting much better at producing quality in their videos.
Great video. I was more impressed with the Ranger than I thought I would be, especially with how fast it was. What about interior dimensions and usable space? That's important for some people families and gear to haul around. I haven't' been in the Ranger but I know the Toyota is quite cramped feeling inside, in my opinion.
The ranger interior is much larger and more comfortable, but the dash and center stack feel a little cheap compared the Tacoma
My 16 year old is 6’3” and 235lbs. He fits in the back seat with adequate leg room. As for head space, I’ve heard on different reviews that the ranger has better roof clearance, and more comfortable seats than the Tacoma, but I’ve never compared them myself.
@@Amaces1 I have a 2019 ranger lariat fx4.
Very comfortable.
@@workingman9745 same but i have the iron bars at the back of mine
Great little video & I’ve used your video for the last two new trucks I’ve purchased 2019 & 2020, but if you’re not in real rocky terrain but driving up hill in any slick surfaces, especially snow or loose gravel, sand, & dirt where your tires will slip easy use 4H not 4L & just go slow & you’ll have better traction.
I Love you Guys ✌️
I love my Ranger
Greatings from Germany
Looking forward to seeing the new Ranger Tremor pitted against the TRD PRO, Colorado ZR2 and Rubicon Gladiator.
Well, so much for all the fancy electronic systems. I know guys with old Jeeps who would go all those places with ease and NO electronics.
My 1990 Cherokee would would do this and it cost 3,000 including 5 M/T BFG's, a 8,000lb winch, safari roof rack, and bumpers.
@@bradbutcher3984
The only "real" jeep is a willy's!!!
So
Ranger just ate the TRD’s lunch
Well a Ford Ranger XLT FX4 with full SXT package and Max Towing package is only $37,000
The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is $47,000
That’s a HUGE price difference
I hear that. Though I've not really seen the appeal of picking a Pro Vs Off-road package. The offroad package is practically 90% TRD pro, and sells 10k lower.
Luke Carmichael you don’t get a full skid plate on the off road tho. If I recall correctly.
@@devinbender8428 kinda my point. The offroad package is 90% if not more of what the pro is. So, I'm not spending 10k more for a more rugged skid plate, slightly better shocks, and a non functional hoodscoop
I love trucks, mountains, and i love uea, this channel is great! I´am Dany from Brazil.
Very fun video and great camera angles. I purchased a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT as my retirement vehicle and after one year of owning it, I am pleased with my selection. I also looked at the Tacoma but preferred the interior of the Ford. Both are solid vehicles for the Yukon.
Same for me, retired and bought my 2020 XLT. The Tacoma sitting position didn't agree with my old bones or I might have bought one of them. Love my Ranger so far, more vehicle than I need really, but fun up in the Idaho mountains and deserts..
The Rangers really are decent trucks. There are 1993-2011 Rangers all over in my area running just fine with well over 300,000 km or about 200,000 miles. They also have solid frames underneath them. No where near as many Tacoma’s in the area and when I look underneath the Toyota’s, there is major rust in the frame even. Don’t have to look under them to see all the rust in the body panels, especially the older they get. Look at things with open objective eyes and you will realize the only thing the Tacoma has going for it is resale value. Since the basic FX4 can outperform the TRD Pro for over $9,000 less, the resale is not an issue either because I there will a lot less than $9,000 difference between the two 4 years from now so the Ranger will depreciate mor in %, but the Tacoma will depreciate more in the $$s because of the higher initial cost. The new Ranger will hold its value better than the old Ranger because it is a better and more competitive truck. Even the GM twins have decent resale, getting to be an old story if Toyota keep gouging their clientele. You can barely negotiate when you buy them so the true price difference after a real purchase will be closer to $11,000.
Ford Ranger wins on the road, trail, AND the pocketbook! Even 4 years later! Look at the real world numbers, not all the hype and catch phrases.
GT500 I kinda doubt the resale, I’ll bet you in 5 years that TRD will be still worth 40k. The Ranger maybe 15.
James Wuertele - do you drink a lot? In southern Alberta Canada, the used Tacomas, specifically the 2016 - 2017 do not have the resale the 2015 and older models do. Things change and Toyota’s resale values are falling, especially with the recent release of the Tacoma. 2017 models in this are have depreciated $11,000.00, in 2 years. Real numbers, things change and Toyota has to produce better ergonomics, better motor or power characteristics for the 3.5. There are better options available on the other trucks and more flexibility in those options. There is a reason Toyota has lost so much market share and after the first half of record sales, sales have dropped of enough in the second half that Toyota won’t sell as many trucks as last year. Gotta look at the greater picture and current trends instead of the distant past.
Sorry dude!
Snorkel intake, somebody’s been watching Dante’s Peak!
V R wow, surprised someone still remebers that movie, one of my favorite movies of all times
Great review guys. Never thought about getting a mid size Ranger until I saw this video.
Don't
I just got one best decision I’ve ever made by far
Buyer be ware, 3000 miles transmission is rough and the waste gate is being noisy. Taking it to Ford tomorrow
That blue Ford is a good looking truck!
Great video guys
Your videos have gotten so much better in the last couple years. You guy have a really good production going!
Great videos as always and keep up the awesome work!
As for the CRAWL mode, I know you guys are talking about ratios, but Id imagine the programming makes a world of difference. If the computer has problems and dont know what to do, ratios dont matter.
Super truck comparison, great music and video editing.
thank you for this video! Love Ranger!
What we really need is a version of the Ranger Raptor
Here in Australia they are almost as good as a Jeep Wrangler
I saw a ton of those bad boys when I was over in the Philippines, I also like the fact that all of the rangers over there are diesel and you can still get a manual trans as well. A base ranger 4x4 crew xab also can be gotten for 22k
Ranger Raptor produces 210hp and 500nm (368 ft pounds) its a 2.0 bi turbo diesel not the fastest but its decent
2020
I am waiting
Both look like very nice trucks, however I think I would pick the Ford and I am a Chevy guy. Great video!
I’d pick the Ford over the Tacoma if those were my options but I’d get the zr2 over both of them. Toyota is the loser here and Ford hasn’t even introduced the raptor ranger yet. The Toyota even still has rear drum brakes!
yuh yuh yuh
Im more of a tacoma person , but that ranger impressed me on that trail control 👌🏾.
Very impressed by the Ford able to get up with the diff open. Says a lot for the individual wheel breaking to shift torque around. Very cool :)
I looked at both of these vehicles last month. I ended up pulling the trigger on a Tacoma TRD Off-Road instead of the Pro.
The Ranger certainly is a nice driving vehicle, has plenty of power, and a lot more electronic niceties. There are a few things the Ranger is lacking though. The rear seat doesn't fold flat, it also isn't a split seat. You're missing a good amount of storage in the Ranger that you have in the Tacoma.
The thing that really sold me on the Tacoma was parking it next to the Ranger. From the front the Ranger looked like a sedan. I just didn't think it looked all that sexy in person. For me, the Tacoma looks a lot more "trucky".
At the end of the day they're both fine trucks and will do what you need them to. The Tacoma will be worth more when you get rid of it, and will likely need less time at the dealership too.
Except nothing actually works on the toytruck
Nothing actually works? Looked like everything was working in the video. Everything functions just fine on my truck. Not sure what you're referring to? I've seen 30 year old land cruisers with less issues/broken shit than 2 year old Ford trucks.
@@motarded4214 I like to make up stories too.
@@motarded4214 sorry didnt mean to make the fanbois tear up resume your brand bashing
@@cjs4456 Oh no, some random neck beard on the internet doesn't believe me. What ever will I do.
Both great trucks but SADLY the Tacoma is showing more weakness as the years progress. It really needs a front diff locker and power to be around 325 HP and 325 TRQ. That would make it CLASS LEADING and worthy of the TRD PRO name.
How many people would pay ~$60k for all that?
What is TRQ?
@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: but how do you explain sales numbers?
@@ldmtag that everyone that isn't a brain dead baby bought a f150 and then they bought a rzr to do all the same things a tacoma can do.
Jake B that’s a pretty different scenario you presented. Some people want just one vehicle to do some occasional fun off-roading.
I own a 2020fx4 ranger and it's the Bomb ! Very pleased
Toyota always does good on there 4x4 systems . I love the Tacomas and what improvements they’ve made over the years! I’m a Ford guy for sure but have owned two Toyota trucks and one car . I will say that Ford Trucks are second to none though ! I’ve had Two F150’s , an explorer, a Winstar van, and two sedans . I’ve never had one of my Fords flat-out Breakdown on me because of engine failure, of course I’ve replaced alternators, dead batteries, belts, hoses, and other normal “wear out” parts on Fords but not often . My Fords have gone usually 250k-300k every time if maintained well . I just purchased a 2014 Black Ford Escape 2.0 Titanium for my wife, and we’re really loving it 👍
One thing people complain about is how much Ford's suck. They forgot, they only suck when you do not take care of them. 150k on my Ranger and still rolling.
Just got an explorer, always wanted one. I love it, drives like a truck and the twin turbo gives me plenty of power if I need it.
I had an 86 Ford ranger that clocked over 4 times. It had 486,000 original miles on it. I put a mustang c4 trans in it, dual flowmaster exhaust, fully caged, lifted with 35's, 6" fiberglass front and rear fenders. Had the 2.9l v6 4x4, first year of electronic fuel injection. That truck was a beast and got me everywhere. I used to pull big 4x4 hummers and Chevys out of the ditches in the snow with my little ranger all the time. The little thing was amazing. I eventually sold it and my buddy dropped his mustang 5.0 302 motor that was stroked to a 331 in it.
The true test is which one will breakdown when you're in the middle of nowhere...
Easy the ford , and the Toyota will hold double the value of the ranger in 10 years
I watched an interview with the chief design engineer for Toyota Tacoma. He said they are number one in the Australia outback where your life may depend on it. He said "any truck will take you anywhere but a Toyota will get you back."
Scotty " twin turbos with high pressure injection engines will not last" Kilmer
Jim H You must be talking about Landcruiser. Toyota dont sell Tacoma in Australia and Aussies love their diesels.
Either one can break down, they are machines built by imperfect humans
Not going to lie, seen a few Rangers on Instagram with a lift and bigger tires and it looks absolutely incredible. If you put a few extra dollars into it, it's a stunning package.
Great review
Tommy " I would choose the Taco even though I know that the Ford is better". Great job Roman, you have taught him well.
The air scoooop was the exxxtra drag that slowed it down
I say the best test would be that they take these two trucks for ten years. Then see how they match up with longevity, durability and resale.
My thoughts exactly.
Do the same test at 250,000 miles .
You got that right
I've seen many Ford rangers go over 300,000 miles, the Toyota will rust out in 5 years
John Sullivan well John my family is mostly Toyota and Subaru owners and no rust problems as of yet. The Toyota Matrix has 260,000 on her and no rust.
@@Bunkysworkshop don't get me wrong I loved the Toyota 4x4 I had, but it had rust problems, very disappointed,I wanted to keep it forever, I have had great luck with Ford trucks
Ranger crushing it...glad ford brought it back
Army Green has to be one of the coolest Toyota colours. I love my 11 FJ Trail Teams in that colour with the matched roof and blacked out trim. And the new TRDs fit very well with the colour
Wow!! Im a tacoma owner but ford ranger is impressive ❤️
Jake Cox who buys a truck cus of speed?! Lol 🤣 get a sports car bro if thats what ure goin off of.
Lol... ford can add all the bells & whistles they want, in the end its structural integrity and longevity I want. You're not going to get that in a with a turbo V6
Ehhhhhhhh after 250k miles the Tacoma is still a tacoma but the ranger will have already needed rebuilds and replacements and probably 3 owners if it's even on the road/offroad after that and if it is what's the value going to be? Nothing just like all previous rangers
@Jake Cox
Ten speed engine? The ten speed transmission is the reason why I'm hesitant about trading in my six speed!
The most important comparison was overlooked: Resale value!
Why are you getting rid of it if it's so awesome though?
@@TheVikingSailor resale value is an indication of the vehicles quality , you can find used Fords everywhere, finding a used Toyota is a lot harder and itll cost almost twice as much. Nobody has a better transmission than Toyota
@@TheVikingSailor Because people sell their vehicles eventually? Or do you keep all your vehicles?
SRT Sorbs it’s less than $800 different after 10 years! Are you really gonna notice that?
@@devinbender8428 you can resell Toyota's with 200,000 k , $800 difference , you dont give a comparison of 2 vehicles.
I own a 2013 Tacoma so I am a Toyota fan, but that Ranger is looking pretty competitive and I like the aesthetics too!
If the Ranger is more comfortable to sit in then that's the winner for me. All about comfort in my world. Plus every Ford I own or have owned has been very reliable.
first time I've seen the crawl control fail,like actually didn't try
Yea, that wasn't right.
The crawl control on the 4Runner I drove was useless, so idk.
@@MidnughtMerauders my 2017 offroad has never done that
Yeah that’s weird
@@josephwhiskeybeale I find this electronic gadgetry to be pointless. Even when they work as intended, they just take away from the fun of off road recreation. I want to be the one driving. Not just along for the ride.
Looks like the ranger I bought! Love it!
Ranger with 2.7 option would be awesome.
This is the video I needed thanks
Do this test again when they're over 100k miles.
Ford will be worth a buck and change by then.
Ford will still run circles around it.
Tacoma has bunch of known issues. My buddies Tacoma had major suspension and transmission work done at not even 40k miles on it. He doesn't abuse it nor off roads.
BloodyCrepe 900k miles no problem lmk when he gets to his first 100
@@bobgreta3280 I am happy for you but how does 900k miles on yours fix the problems on others?

Get the Ranger! I went back and forth since the ford announced the rangers US return. I’m so glad I waited for it
The final verdict sir?
@The Guy
I wanted a ranger but got overruled. Ordered a TRD off road. Should be here in 8 weeks.
@@superserial1 yeeaaaaa, my dude. I agree the tacoma is the best option for offroad but the charged ranger does sound appealing. Hope you like it
love your videos, guys
Crawl Control race was freakin epic!!!
Most off road worthy ford ranger available in the USA you mean
its a conspiracy....in the 80's there was a diesel ranger that got like 40 or 45 mpg.....
It's not actually available at all right now. At least that's what he said at the beginning of video.

Great video. I wonder how well these gimmick crawl systems work once you heavily modify your drive train like re gearing or bigger tires ect. Just curious because you will never see someone use a system like this in the real world on like on the rubicon ect. That being said the Ranger was impressive all around compared to the Tacoma.
This comparison is close to perfect!
I know you can't get every vehicle for perfect comparison. I think the FX4 would be more comparable to toyota as off road and not the pro. Love u guys keep the vids coming.
Ranger for sure. Love from malaysia
I love my new ranger after watching all the comparisons of other trucks I made a great buy
Hey man. Thinking about getting one. Still love it two months later?
Rick Harris I have a 2019 Ranger 4x4 lariat edition that I got lifted 6 inches, 35x12 inch tires and some 20 inch all black fuel rims and I am absolutely in love with it. Also installed a BOV on the turbo and a new exhaust.
Nice nice comparation, just for this video ranger doing better job. In all is better. Thank you TFL for your job.
"Snowy road"
...That road was drier than my skin.
Damn that Toyota looks nice ✔️💯
I love my 2019 Ranger XLT FX4! I think it's funny when the Ranger was introduced Tacoma fans were all making fun of the "wimpy" 4 cyl saying how the Tacoma had a "powerful" V6. Well the 4 cyl just creamed that V6 in the drag race. Plus for the Ranger being less of an off road package compared to the Tacoma it did pretty well.
They’re at altitude so forced induction helped the ranger but either way I’m sure the ranger would have won
Good luck with the turbos
@@ttsupra95 I love the Taco as best farm implement
I love my Ranger too. Good truck. Seriously underrated.
@@ttsupra95 proper maintenance dude
I have Trail Control in My 08 Fj Cruiser, it's called left foot brake modulation while keeping torque up with the right foot on the gas!
Both trucks will get you where you want to go. Yes, Toyota has the reliability going for it and probably the better for 4 wheeling....but I got to hand it to Ford it feels more comfortable, quieter, and most of these trucks see 85% pavement vs off-road. Great review guys
