2022 Ford Ranger vs. 2022 Toyota Tacoma

The 2022 Ford Ranger scores high for having composed handling. It also promises a potent turbocharged engine. In the case of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma, expect that it offers plenty of standard features, just like its Ford counterpart. Read on to find out which one is better between these two,

Design & Style

The 2022 Ford Ranger has a SuperCab body style has a length of 210.8 inches, width of 77.8 inches, and a height of 70.7 inches. Getting inside it, you will notice that it still has the same design as it did in the past, with panels that are sturdy enough to make you want to own it for a long time. It can sit five passengers inside.

The Toyota Tacoma Access Cab is rated low for not having the best interiors in the class, with hard plastics overwhelming the entire cabin area. High-quality materials have been chosen for some elements, but that is overpowered by other material choices made by the manufacturer.

Technology & Safety

With the availability of an eight-inch touch screen interface for the 2022 Ford Ranger's infotainment system, you are sure to love this ride even more. It has four speakers and a WiFi hot spot included too. For safety, the standard list includes forward automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning (paired with pedestrian detection), and a rearview camera.

As for the 2022 Toyota Tacoma, it uses a seven-inch touch screen display, six speakers, as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. This one has driver aids that include adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning as a standard, but it misses out on a rearview camera, which should be very basic for most rides out there.

Performance

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the 2022 Ford Ranger wins the battle since it rates 21 mpg for city (19 mpg for the Tacoma) driving and 26 mpg for highway driving (24 mpg for the Toyota). It gets 270 horsepower for its base engine. That of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma uses a 2.7-liter inline-four engine but this one only yields a maximum of 159 horsepower in terms of results, definitely underwhelming when compared to what its Ford counterpart produces.

The Bottom Line

Looking back at the comparison above, you have seen how the 2022 Ford Ranger continues to make its mark in the world of compact pickup trucks out there. That sturdy body is enviable, and so is its well-designed cabin. It definitely oozes out more confidence with its long list of reliable technologies. Fuel-efficiency and engine-performance wise, it wins over the 2022 Toyota Tacoma by a mile. This makes the Ford a better truck than its opponent.
