Compare the Toyota Tacoma to Popular Rivals
If you're looking for a vehicle that can keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle, the Toyota lineup offers numerous options ready for your adventures. While a Toyota car or SUV can offer plenty of rugged, versatile options, they can't always manage the most adverse terrain situations. Thankfully, the Toyota Tacoma isn't just any other vehicle. The lineup offers advanced capability, improved performance, and numerous amenities, allowing you to make the most of your Glassboro travels.
However, the Toyota Tacoma isn't alone in its segment. Models like the Chevy Colorado, Ford Ranger, and Nissan Frontier present challenges to the Tacoma lineup, making your decision difficult. Thankfully, we've got you covered. When you want to learn more about new pickup truck options around Bridgeton, NJ, our comparisons below help you simplify the process and ensure you get the right fit. Let us know if you have any questions today!
Toyota Tacoma vs. Chevy Colorado
Safety Features: The Toyota lineup keeps your Millville, NJ drive safe with a multitude of standard driver assistance features. The midsize pickup comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense®, featuring numerous options designed to guide you through the heaviest traffic. The Tacoma comes standard with a Pre-Collision System, lane-departure warning, and more, while the Chevy Colorado does not. The Tacoma also offers a panoramic view/Multi-Terrain Monitor and rear cross-path warning, neither of which come with the Colorado.
Payload Capacity: The Toyota Tacoma pickup was built to haul supplies to the worksite or gear to your next campsite! The lineup features three cargo bed options, with the Extended Cab option allowing up to 1,685 pounds standard. The Chevy Colorado's standard payload capacity is only 1,400 pounds and can only offer a maximum of 1,550 pounds.
Toyota Tacoma vs. Ford Ranger
Technology: While the Ford lineup certainly doesn't back down from a performance challenge, it's no match for the standard Tacoma when it comes to technology conveniences. The Tacoma features a standard seven-inch touchscreen, three USB ports to charge your devices, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity. The Ford lineup offers touchscreen infotainment systems and smartphone integration, but you won't find them on the base model. The best you can get is a 3.5-inch display and one USB port - you'll have to make this simple connectivity work for you.
Off-Road Readiness: The Toyota Tacoma lineup was born for adventures, thanks to its off-road-capable options and available four-wheel drive. You can climb rocks, traverse difficult trails, and explore where you want at the wheel of the Tacoma with features like the TRD Pro's suspension lift, skid plate, aggressive front end, and TRD-tuned FOX® Internal Bypass Shocks. The Ford Ranger doesn't offer a similar model, instead asking you to spend more on an options package with its trim lineup - some models won't qualify for off-road upgrades.
Toyota Tacoma vs. Nissan Frontier
Towing and Hauling: When you need a pickup truck that can handle the heavier loads, the Nissan Titan may leave you feeling unfulfilled. The Toyota Tacoma can tow a maximum of 6,800 pounds, while the Nissan Frontier will limit you to 6,720 pounds. In the payload, the Tacoma accommodates up to 1,685 pounds to the Frontier's 1,610 pounds.
Fuel Economy: The Nissan Frontier comes with one engine option to the Tacoma's two available powertrains. The Frontier's 3.8-liter V6 might be the most powerful of the three engine options, but it won't last as long on the road as the Toyota Tacoma's 2.7-liter engine. The Toyota truck offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 20/23/21 mpg city/highway/combined. The Nissan Titan keeps up on the highway, but when it comes to city driving, can only offer 18 mpg.
