TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Ford Ranger mid-size pickup is a willing companion to weekend adventures. It’s our worst best friend.

Myriad detail upgrades keep the 2020 Toyota Tacoma competitive in the increasingly competitive mid-size pickup truck market.

TCC Likes

Right-sized footprint
Good turbo-4
Good 8.0-inch touchscreen

Upgraded infotainment, finally
Power driver’s seat, finally
TRD versions are off-road ready

TCC Dislikes

Too expensive
Sub-par safety scores
Bounding ride

Still cramped inside
Could use more power
Stiff ride in some versions
