2022 Toyota Tacoma vs 2022 Ford Ranger – Hermitage PA

Exterior – Toyota Dealer serving Hermitage PA

Our Toyota dealership serving Hermitage Hubbard Warren New Castle offers the Tacoma in two cab styles: a two-door extended cab called the Access Cab and a four-door crew cab called the Double Cab. The extended cab comes with a 6.1-foot bed. The crew cab comes with either a 5-foot or 6.1-foot bed. Ford offers two cab options as well, and they are comparable to the Toyota setups. Ford calls its two-door extended cab the SuperCab and pairs it with a 6-foot bed, and it calls its four-door crew cab the SuperCrew and pairs it with a 5-foot bed. The Tacoma has a number of advantages in our opinion. One is that it boasts one of the most distinctive exterior designs in the class, and its ruggedness is a reflection of its off-road capabilities. The second is that the bed size differences are not insignificant in practice, and we love that Toyota gives you the option of the crew cab with a longer wheelbase.
