TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Honda Ridgeline pick-ups differently; it’s a truck that’s more comfortable and practical than tougher-duty rivals.

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

TCC Likes

Useful, storage-laden bed
Comfortable and quiet cabin
Refined driving experience

Upgraded infotainment, finally
Power driver’s seat, finally

TCC Dislikes

Average fuel economy
More expensive than competitors
Limited off-road ability

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