Comparison Review

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The RAM 1500 Classic is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Tacoma.

Utility
The RAM 1500 Classic has less seating than the Toyota Tacoma, making the Toyota Tacoma the better choice if you often have passengers.
