Advantages of the 2021 Toyota Tacoma over the 2021 Ford Ranger

Based on the data from the table above, the Ford Ranger comes across as the more powerful option. But just so you know, Toyota offers another 3.5-liter V-6 engine option that produces 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Hence, Tacoma comes off as a more friendly option thanks to the flexibility it offers for customers. The 2021 Tacoma’s six-speed automatic transmission is just as efficient as the Ranger’s 10-speed automatic transmission. Both the vehicles offer similar towing and payload capacities, but the Tacoma stands one step ahead in ease of use.

Coming to features, the Tacoma offers cloth upholstered seats, four-way manually adjustable front seats, a seven-inch touchscreen display with physical controls, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth connectivity, Satellite Radio, a six-speaker sound system, three USB ports, and Wi-Fi Connect, to name some of them. Optional features such as an eight-inch touchscreen display, leather-trimmed seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, wireless smartphone charging, remote keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, a six-speaker JBL sound system, a moonroof, remote keyless entry, and push-button start, can be opted for based on your requirement. The sheer number of features offered for the Tacoma far exceeds what is offered for the Ford Ranger.

Additionally, a wide array of safety features offered for the 2021 Tacoma makes it the best choice of the two. Contact us to experience the 2021 Toyota Tacoma in person.
