For quite some time now, the Toyota Tacoma has been the perennial leader in the mid-size truck segment. However, much of this can be can be attributed to the fact the Tacoma was virtually the lone-wolf in the class — until now.

After an eight-year hiatus, the 2019 Ford Ranger returned to the robust Ford truck lineup. The new 2020 Ford Ranger is a dynamic mid-size truck that is locked, loaded, and ready for adventure. But how does the new 2020 Ford Ranger compare to the new 2020 Toyota Tacoma? Let the automotive experts at Hardy Family Ford take a closer look at the head-to-head matchup in Dallas, GA.

Mid-Size Truck Performance: 2020 Ford Ranger vs Toyota Tacoma

Even though mid-size trucks aren’t known for their performance, the Ford Ranger raises the bar. The Tacoma comes standard with a forgettable 2.7L Inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers a mere 159 HP and 180 lb.-ft. of torque. For more performance, drivers can opt for the 3.5L V6 engine that pumps out up to 278 HP and 265 lb.-ft. of torque.

On the other hand, the 2020 Ford Ranger’s standard 2.3L Turbocharged EcoBoost engine outshines the Tacoma at every turn. You’ll enjoy 270 HP. At the same time, you’ll be able to tow full-size truck numbers at up to 7,500 lbs. thanks to a Best-in-Cass 310 lb.-ft. of torque. In contrast, the Tacoma’s four-cylinder engine can muster up a 3,500-lb. towing capacity, while the V6 still lumbers behind with only a 6,400-lbs. towing capacity.

Off-Road Performance: Ford Ranger vs Tacoma

Even though most people will use their midsize truck for day-to-day driving, light towing, and trips to the big-box home improvement store, the Tacoma and Ford Ranger both offer off-roading capabilities. The Ford Ranger offers the optional FX Off-Road Package that you can add to virtually any model with four-wheel drive. The FX4 Off-Road package includes:

  • An electronic locking rear differential
  • Off-Road mono-tube shocks
  • Off-terrain tires
  • Heavy-duty front skid plate
  • Exposed steel front bash plate

In addition, the FX Off-Road Package comes with the Terrain Management system. This system allows you to choose from preset modes, including sand, mud, snow/gravel, grass, and normal. On the other hand, the Tacoma offers the TRD Pro and Off-Road trim levels. And to get comparable off-roading capabilities and technologies on the Tacoma, you‘ll have to upgrade to their top trim packages, which can average about $2,500 more than the Ranger’s FX Off-Road truck. The Toyota Crawl Control is virtually identical to the Ford Trail Control, and Toyota’s Multi-terrain select is very similar to Ford Terrain management, while costing much more.
