@cdsmock4512 2 года назад

The reason the Tacoma and Maverick have similar ground clearance ratings is because they measure ground clearance from the lowest point. On the Tacoma, that means the bottom of the rear differential. On the Maverick, that means the entire underbelly surface since it's basically just a giant flat plate.. Which is why the Tacoma appears so much taller...because it is at basically every single point besides the bottom of the rear pumpkin. Which is why its breakover and actual useable clearance is so much higher.

I think the Maverick makes more sense in a 4x4 XL with Max tow. Once you get way up in price point the Maverick looses it's appeal (for me) and I would probably lean towards a Ranger (or Tacoma).

@ALMX5DP 2 года назад

Completely agree. The only downside for the XL in my mind is the lack of cruise control as an option, but i have seen someone swap to a steering wheel with those controls and program the vehicle with ForScan and it worked, so that would be enough for me to choose that and just do a bit of work to make that happen.

I have a Tacoma and I spend most of my time on the highway. I am 5,11 and it is one of the most comfortable vehicles I have had out of many, including full size trucks. Because of the high floor height, you can stretch your legs out all the way, they don’t have to be bent all the time because you are sitting higher like in other trucks. I have never had a truck that I can extend my legs completely straight while driving. Also, there are many spots you can put your feet and you can even sit cross legged. I also find the Tacoma drives with little input needed in the expressway, it is just one finger on the wheel for the most part.

Yup. I've always thought that the cruise control programming on my 2005 Tacoma is absolutely terrible whenever any sort of incline is involved. Struggles to maintain a consistent speed. It will lett it drop a solid 2-3mph and then downshift to get back up to speed and shift up again, only to slack off, lose the speed, and have to downshift again. I rarely use cruise unless it's just nice flat terrain because my foot inputs can actually hold a gear far better than the cruise control. So weird they haven't figured it out yet.

@justinkostelecky6201 2 года назад

Modern 4Runner and Tacomas are geared for more low rpm cruising and economy. I’ve seen many videos of bone stock rigs with either 4.88 gears or even 5.29’s and that completely transforms them.

@YellowstoneCountryFlyFishing 2 года назад

All the comments about how this is an apples to oranges comparison are missing the point. This is a "Will the apple at a lot less money, easy parking, and better economy, 0-60, and on-road manners function as close to the off-road orange as I need?" For somebody like me who is trying to decide if a non-truck or crossover will do what I need it to do as well as my old truck-based SUV at 15mpg does now, these sorts of videos are great.

Not for nothing…. This video misrepresents the Tacoma. My 2016 trd off road double cab averages between 20-21 combined. I had the transmission remapped and it shifts great. 80,000 problem free miles and as tight as when new. Not a squeak or rattle. Let see how that ford product holds up

How does he have to know anything about the reliability if the vehicles breaks on him? He was a Mathematics and Science professor at the University of Brownsville Texas. I had a 2005 Toyota Corolla 5 speed manual car with 120,000 miles and used to have my grandpas old 2001 Tacoma 5 speed manual pickup truck with 310,000 miles. The older Toyotas are waaay more reliable than the new stuff. I also had a 2001 Ford Ranger with 256,000 miles and currently daily a 2010 6 speed manual Ford fusion with 101,000 miles, these Ford's have been just as reliable as the Toyotas, not a big Ford fan by the way, they are just cheap.

I drive a 2019 tacoma off road and I'm 6'3. I'm just on the verge of not fitting, but it is still a very comfortable truck. To be my fair mine has a sunroof that adds some height, but in terms of the leg position its perfectly comfortable.

@gs98999 2 года назад

Just looking at the two side by side you can see Tacoma is way higher up in the air and that’s due to its floor being so high up. Ground clearance is simply the lowest point on a truck (usually pumpkins or shock bracket) but everything else is way higher which will help off-road. Case in point. Every Tacoma has the same ground clearance but pro and trail have lifts from factory.

There is another recall on the Maverick which is the trailer brake control.

@Vorm17 2 года назад

That recall is across all Ford models, not just the Maverick. Currently the Maverick has had 3 recalls and all of them are only a portion of the units not all of them, with only one issue being severe across a few thousand. The Tacoma in its first model year had 4 in total, with two of them being pretty severe. The Maverick is still new and will probably have another recall or two, but recalls on first generation vehicles are very common among all manufacturers.

It is why i switched to Ranger from Tacoma. Well a couple reason. First I am 6'3 and I never fit in the Tacoma. And then second live in Wyoming and at elevation the turbo doesn't lose power (that and the ten speed). I love Toyota, but the cab size is the exact same it was in 2005. When they make theca bigger and go turbo I would consider going back to Tacoma.

Great video. The Toyota will always be superior in reliability. Personally for a pickup I need body on frame. Unibodies aren’t designed for hauling wood, gravel, dirt like the traditional body on frame. We own a 11 Ranger XLT 4X4 Super Cab with the 4 liter V6 & 5 spd auto tranny. Last year we drove it to MT to get a load of stuff from the farm. Coming home, we put 50 lbs of air in the rear shocks so the truck would drive level. I set the cruise on 85 through MT and got 24mpg. I added a K&N intake and a Flow Master exhaust. Prior to the upgrades, I could only get 19-21 empty on my Ford. I love Ford pickups, but Toyota is a better option for reliability and depreciation.
