Is The Tacoma TRD PRO Better Than Ranger Raptor? - Review + Off Road Test

Frist

Lol no.... just no!

That is why I switched to the DJI action cams after having used GoPro's since they were first released... the DJI stuff just works... no overheating and stupid shit like happens with GoPro

Cool truck but I’m not spending $67k, plus dealer mark ups, for a mid size truck. I’ll take the Ranger Raptor for $10k less, which is arguably a more capable truck!

Not a chance

$ 67K.... BS.... Ford Ranger Raptor All day Long !

You are delusional if you are paying almost 70k for a freaking Tacoma instead of the $55k for a Ranger Raptor

I'd WAY rather have a Ranger Raptor! The TRD Pro has no backseat space and is too overpriced.

What is Toyota thinking? I just don't get the appeal for that amount of money.

67k and you have a stick to hold the hood up.

I wish it was competitive price wise, doesn't matter what goodies the TRD Pro has, its not worth $12k more than Ranger Raptor

This thing is a beast, definitely would buy one if money wasnt a factor

Nice truck but not $67K nice. Ranger is better priced and way better usable back seats.

I'd rather have the Frontier Pro4x over this 😂

There is NO leg room in the back with those front seats where they are. .

All that you have to do is watch the edmunds review dirt comparison, the Ranger Raptor smoked the Tacoma TRD Pro and the Colorado ZR2, but giving credit where credit is due the Tacoma TRD Pro did smoke the Colorado ZR2.

The Ranger Raptor is significantly quicker, handles better on and off road, can fit humans in the back seats, and has more tech include auto 4WD which is ideal in the winter on road. It is also less expensive than the Pro.

Too much for too little.🤷‍♂️😳

Wow a $50 bottle jack for $70K, you’re kidding me guys !!!!

I bought my 2019 TRD off road for $36k new, but I can’t justify spending 50k for the current model and 60k is absurd for the pro model. I hear a lot of people are picking up the Nissan Frontier as it is similar to the 3rd gen. Hopefully the market can give a little push back so these car companies can come down in price.

came to see 0-60

I believe the ranger raptor is far superior.

Toyota really should give people an option to save a few thousand by offering standard power seats in lieu of the dynamic seats. Most people are not using the truck for high-speed off-road driving and the dynamic seats just kill the use of the back seats. At least with the standard seats the rear seats can be used by kids, pets, or a couple friends.

I wasn't aware of Lasfit mats...until today. Those provide better coverage than Weathertech, and would be terrific for our Michigan winter slop! Getting coverage on the door sills is huge. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoy y’all’s reviews. I have owned Fords and Toyotas and have had good experiences with both. I have had my eye on the new Tacoma for a long time but ended up getting a Ranger Raptor. Money aside, there are a lot of small things but what swayed me was the TRD seats, no go. On the other hand, the RR is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned and I have had them all. Only thing on the RR is the lack of real buttons for lockers and heated seats.

No V6 and to much good bye toyota 😂😂😂😂😂

A honda ridgeline could have completed that course. You still get a naturally aspirated v6, more interior space and about 20k cheaper.

I’m a Toyota fanboy and I’d still pick the Ranger Raptor over the TRD Pro or Trailhunter. The iso-dynamic seats should really be an option rather than standard, I think you’ll see far more Trailhunters just for that reason. Having front and rear lockers available in 4hi, adjustable suspension from the seat, usable rear seats, more power and 4auto on the Ranger Raptor are huge selling points. AND you can get a tune from Ford for even more power under warranty!

I wouldn't ever get the TRDPro, but I love that the hybrid puts out 20 amps AC without the fear of burning my house down

No. It’s not lol

how is this compared to the trd off-road?

That's a cool truck, I get it. Its cool. But, it is nearly $30K more than my new 23' Pro4x frontier. Which was about $42k otd. CRAZY. Ohhhh, and those seats are soooo gimmicky they look like they belong on a carnival amusement park ride.

Toyota screwed up by adding full seats to the back on the Pro. Might as well just put access seats that fold up and down to use only if needed. Looks so dumb with 4 inches of space behind those seats lol

No, thank you. Let the gizmos buy this pile of crab.

Nope.

Have you put the ranger raptor thru the same course?

Build quality better than the ranger raptor lol

The bottom line is this, the people who are complaining about the price can not afford either vehicle. Basically dead broke bitter piss pots who couldn’t afford a base F 150.

I kind of understand why Toyota didn’t put front locker on TRD Pro, Trailhunter and TRD Off Road because of their A-Trac and front sway bar disconnect systems are as good as front locker or better already. However, I wish they have auto 4wheel.

I'm a current Toyota owner, but not loyal to any particular brand. I think the Raptor is probably the best all-around package in this segment, though at under 50K the ZR2 may be the value leader. I would have to drive both of those trucks, the Tacoma would not be in the running for me at all.

I would think it is more comparable to a regular ZR2 not a Bison

Overpriced....50k is doable. 60k+. ...GOOD BYE TOYOTA!!!!
