Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Ranger offers a bit more room for passengers in the extended cab than the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid. The Ford Ranger will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid.

Convenience

Handling
The Ford Ranger has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid, allowing you to more easily get in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Ranger is clearly the choice over the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Ranger has a little less horsepower than the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid.
