As a midsize pickup truck, the new Toyota Tacoma is versatile, capable, and perfect for both work and recreation all over Tennessee. On our website, you'll find a wealth of useful research on the new Toyota Tacoma, and if you read on, you'll learn a bit more about how it compares to some of its rivals on the market.
The Toyota Tacoma vs. the Ford Ranger
Trim Options
If you're looking for a midsize truck with a myriad of customization options, the new Toyota Tacoma is a better fit than the new Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger only comes available with three distinct trim options. However, the new Toyota Tacoma comes with eight distinct trim configurations to pick from, not to mention a whole truckload of options, packages, and genuine Toyota accessories to make it easy to get the most out of your new midsize truck.
Off-Roading
Looking to take your truck off-roading in the backcountry of Tennessee, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by just how rugged the new Toyota Tacoma can be. From the athletic Toyota Tacoma PreRunner to the unrelentingly capable new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, the new Toyota Tacoma is at home in all the places where the rubber leaves the road. By comparison, the new Ford Ranger is decidedly lacking in off-road oriented trims.
Hybrid Powertrain Options
The new Toyota Tacoma offers an innovative i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric powertrain, making it a powerful and efficient way to get around the greater Cordova, TN area. By comparison, the new Ford Ranger is lacking in hybrid electric powertrain options.


The Toyota Tacoma vs. the Chevy Colorado
Payload Capacity
If you're looking to use your truck for work hauling heavier payloads like lumber, brick, and gravel fill, the new Toyota Tacoma is a much better fit than the new Chevy Colorado. When properly equipped, the new Toyota Tacoma can move payloads of over 1,700 pounds. By comparison, the new Chevy Colorado can only haul payloads of up to 1,684 pounds, making it less capable overall for more challenging work tasks.
Cabin Comfort
One of the great things about the new Toyota Tacoma is the fact that it offers a generous amount of interior space for a midsize pickup truck. Couple that with surprisingly upscale amenities on higher range trims and supportive front seating, and the Toyota Tacoma is a truck that can feel comfortable driving for hours. By comparison, critics have rated the cabin of the new Chevy Colorado as uncomfortable for longer rides, citing its lower quality interior materials and rigid front seating.
Bed Length
With the new Toyota Tacoma, you'll have the choice between a five-foot bed and a six-food bed, giving you the ability to accommodate longer cargo if you need it. With the new Chevy Colorado, a five-foot bed is the only option.
