Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro vs. Ford Ranger Tremor | Off-Road Truck Comparison

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Tacoma TRD has been a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts for a while now, but with the release of the Ranger Tremor, we decided it was time to see how these two midsize pickup trucks stack up against each other. The Tacoma TRD Pro is no stranger to us - we took it off-roading against the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon in early 2020 ( • 2020 Jeep Gladiator Ru... ). But now that Ford called the Tremor the most off-road-ready version of the Ranger you can get, we thought it a perfect time to see what it can do against the big guy on the block.
Join Carlos Lago as he climbs rocks and hills, compares engines, and highlights the interior space and seating position of each truck. What makes these off-road trucks different? What are the pros and cons of each? Which one is worth your money? We answer these questions and more. It's the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro vs. the Ford Ranger Tremor in our first off-road comparison test of 2021!

    I have a built 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road so my answer is easy. Not quite as easy to customize as some "other" trucks, but not as expensive either. One point worth considering is, how negotiable are Ford prices vs Toyota...specifically Tacoma? Great review, I agree with all points made...keeping my Tacoma for a few more years/decades 👍🏼

    Articulation is useless when it comes to moose test. Specially when you drive in curve lane with cargo at the back at 40 to 60 miles per hour. Toyota frame sucks and bounces.The frame of toyota is weak compare to ford very strong. I am sure you already watch Competition of F150, Dodge, Chevy and Tundra. Tundra frame is very weak that is why in the test it bounces so hard

    I have owned both as well. I would never ever get a tacoma again. For me it was the horrible seating position and the horrible site line out the front. The windshield on the Tacoma is so small when I pulled up to red lights I couldn't even see them. Resale is sick on Tacoma, but I need a decent vehicle. Ranger no brainer for me.

    ​@@danielrn133 Having driven both extensively I'm in full disagreement. The seating position is only a no-go if you know next to nothing about control ergonomics (set it up like a sports car). Ranger has had horribly balanced front to rear dampening that gets only worse with speed, on both the FX4 package and Lariat. Which pissed me off as I had experience with the previous euro-rangers that did not have this messed up suspension issue at 100KM+ speeds. The tacoma may have a more "trucky" suspension, but I can say that compared to the ranger, your ass, hands and shoulders weren't screaming three different things at 65mph+; especially over crests. I've not noticed your issue with overhead cross-section lights. Maybe you should try sitting correctly with your seat pulled forward till your knee has a good bend without pressing the pedal, and almost full extension on the floor, your wrist can sit at the 12'o clock position with your shoulders against the seat, and the seat bottom at as much of an decline (front up, rear down) as possible focusing most weight on your butt. This will one correct the issue with sight line, but also allow you to have better leverage on the controls with less movement, and more connection to the vehicle via parts of the bottom that are most sensitive to inertia. I wanted to love the ranger because of my previous experience with them in Spain and Queensland (along with the discounts back here in the U.S.), but fucking Ford had to fuck up an old chassis with messed up suspension, a drivetrain combo I don't trust for any work outside of delivery vans and weird option lists than really aren't clear to our more less familiar customers to muddle the waters on what your are getting. I'd rather take a Canyon/Colorado or Tacoma at similar price point than any ranger. That's without getting into the lazy job they did with interior space efficency, the utility of the truck bed, and the fact that out of all of the crew cabs, the ranger was the only one (with throwing the ridgeline for good measure) who's crew cab should have been called an "extended cab with crash support".

    Good points - I do think the TRD Off Road (4x4) is the smarter choice for about 10K less than the Pro. I purchased my (2019) TRD OR 4x4 Double Cab new in Jan of '19. I have put 93K miles on it so far - with many of those miles in 4WD. I own a horse farm and have indeed found this truck to be VERY impressive off road. However I find it just as impressive on road, obviously I drive a LOT. The ride is nice, the storage is WONDERFUL, and the fact that is has been totally dependable means a lot. As for dependability, we have another Tacoma - a 2002 TRD OFF Road 4x4 (my son's truck now). That truck is put through he wringer as well...it now has 245K miles, and has had nothing other than routine maintenance (timing belt was replaced - though it did not fail, we just did it a maintenance recommend)...Toyota has earned its reputation for reliability - at least in our house.

    Just purchased the 21 Ranger Tremor with the Lariat trim in cactus grey. Had it about a week now and it's a blast to drive. Has plenty of power, drives smooth, has a cozy yet also surprisingly roomy interior and yeah, it looks great. Have received many compliments. I have a few niggling complaints but certainly nothing major. One is I wish it had a PNRDS readout beside the shifter as well as the dash. Another is I can't believe Ford didn't include a tailgate damper with the Lariat package. I do love the spray-in bed liner. Very professionally installed with no bubbles or smears and the Ford logo on the rear bulkhead is a nice touch. I'm surprised at how quiet the cab is when going 75 on the interstate. Infotainment unit is very easy to use and has everything you could think of lol. Looking forward to taking it four wheeling over the holidays. All in all I am very pleased with this truck. Great job Ford! (Edit - I meant a lighted PNRDS. Can't see it at night)

    The Tacoma is a great truck, no doubt. However, neither truck was actually tested anywhere near their limits in this video. The Ford very likely did not "NEED" to have the rear locker engaged to finish that hill climb. Also, the Ford doesn't just "slightly" exceed the Toyota in towing and payload capacity. The Ranger Tremor has a payload capacity of 1430 pounds versus 1155 pounds for the Tacoma TRD off road when both are outfitted as they were in this test. The Ranger also offers 7500 pounds of tow capacity, yes, even in Tremor trim, versus the Tacoma's 6400 pounds. In this class of pickup 275 pounds of payload and 1100 pounds of towing is not insignificant. At the absolute limits the Tacoma will no doubt offer just a bit more off road capability. In the real world where those limits will almost never be reached the Ranger is the better truck. The guy doing the test, as almost everyone who drives the Tacoma does, commented on the unnatural and uncomfortable seating position of the Tacoma but still states he would choose it. Dude, pull the bias plug and let that stuff drain. The Tundra is comfortable and livable. The Tacoma is so uncomfortable that it feels like a different company designed it. Whatever truck you personally choose to drive is just that, a personal choice. But when you are reviewing vehicles it's time to leave your personal opinions at the door. The Tacoma is the more capable truck 3 percent of the time and in situations 99 percent of buyers of either truck will never get themselves into. The rest of the time the Ranger is the better truck. Perhaps more unreliable but while it runs I'd take the Ranger.

No JBL, no crawl control, no terrain management. Well worth it for me, I hate that automatic Tacoma trans.

    Thanks for the great video. I revere the Toyota's performance off-road. It has excellent approach, departure, and clearance. The concern I had was with the seating arrangement in the Tacomas. Some reviews noted the smaller cabin size and overhead clearance problems with the roof for those over 6'. One guy of about 6'3" had to lean his head. That doesn't look comfortable. The Ranger has plenty of roof clearance for taller drivers - so I got that one. It's a great improvement over my 1993 Ford Ranger. That old model was much smaller with all-manual controls to roll down the window, shift, and adjust seating (very limited). There was no computerized video of the rear. There were no sensors and warnings embedded in the 1993 Ranger like today's models. So, I am overwhelmingly impressed with the modern 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor. The Toyota truck that would likely fit me better is the Tundra Pro because it can accommodate bigger drivers (e.g., former football linemen or linebackers). The problem is that it's awkward to drive bigger trucks in crowded Phoenix. So, I prefer the mid-size models for daily driving. But I took the Tremor up to rural Eastern AZ last week up the mountains. It did great on a very rugged dirt road partially flooded out with many ditches and bumps. It gets muddy with snow up there in elk and bear country of Arizona's higher mountain ranges. That road was built upon an old horseback trail of the 1800s - lol. But the Ranger handled it while listening to the theme song from "the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" on the blue-tooth-connected iPad.

Tacoma v Ranger... the Ranger is the better value, but that Tacoma is so over-engineered. 3 out of the past 4 Fords that I've had have required multiple trips to the dealership for fixes, though. That said, this is a hard choice here.

    Let's say my new ranger being an FX4, 2019, has gone through really rough terrain with out as much issue like he showed for having to put the rear locker on. Not to say he wasn't fair, I wasn't there to see the hill in person to see how each of the tires reacted on the hill.

No one comes close. They're building a 310 horsepower 4 banger as a base. In fact Jeep just copied that plan on the Ex4. Toyota just copied They're 3.5 twin turbo set up of the new Tundra. You can also thank Ford for the TRX. Everything Ford does, Mopar, Toyota and GM follow and everyone ignores that. Just wait till they copy the Lighting. It's coming mark my words.

    @Chano Leyva cam phasers are noisy but they don't affect performance. Timing chains aren't any different than Timing belts. They need replaced and aren't even any harder to do. No they don't go through turbos that bullshit unless you don't know how to drive and engine with a turbo. You're supposed to let turbos cool at idle before shutting down the engine. My point is, if you're a car person, ecoboost is the way to go. Easy and cheap gains, gas mileage and reliability. If they sucked, they wouldn't sell. And ecoboosts designs sucked, other manufacturers would be copying them. Who's copying Hemis? No one, because ecoboost gives you power and mileage. My Raptor has a ton of power but gets 27 mpg if a drive it like a bitch. A hellcat gets 16 mpg no matter how nice you drive it. Why wouldn't I take both? Taco engines are boring, underpowered and struggle bad in altitude. Pretty simple decision.

    The Tremor package cost $4,290, but you are forced to get the 301A package which is an additional $1,670 so this actually cost $5,960. A Ranger with just the Tremor package cost $42, 545 in the XLT. The Tacoma TRD Off-Road is $35,550 with the manual and $37,380 with the auto. Jumping up to the TRD Pro it cost $44,175 for the manual and $46,880 for the auto. So this Ranger falls in the middle of the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro pricewise. These are all MSRP numbers. Myself I would look at either the TRD Off-Road and the Ranger.

    I just sold my 2013 Tacoma TRD SPORT 4x4 crew cab for 23,500. The truck had 104,832 miles on the ODO. I bought a Tocoma TRD Off Road 4x4.

    Ranger's great in every way except interior. It feels so 2010 inside.

    Compared to 1990’s interior of the taco?😂

    The Tacoma comes up short on powertrain (minivan cough) and makes it a non-starter for anyone towing a camper, side-by-side, sleds, or boat. It will do it, but will suck at it. Same with 4-Runner.

    For the money, the Toyota seems archaic and lethargic. I would take the Ranger.

    It also sounds like Ford's paying u to make Ranger sound better.
