I priced out a Tacoma extended cab and Ranger XLT supercab that are as close to being optioned out excatly the same. The only difference being the Tacoma is a 4 cyl 4 door access cab which has the suicide doors and the Ranger has only 2.
The Tacoma priced out at $23,027 and the Ranger XLT was $18,768......these prices include all rebates.
$4200 difference????????? No wonder the used Tacomas sell for way more money, they cost thousands more.
The thing about the Toyota that really annoys me is that you have to pay EXTRA for roadside assistance (toyo protection package).
From a financial perspective the Tacomas make no sense but I guess import brainwashing is rampant.
Both trucks handle, brake, and ride the same but the Tacoma has more giddyup with the bigger engine.
Ford dealers can be negiotiated with and Toyota dealers would just as soon throw you out into traffic than come down off of their $500- $900 dealer fees.
I went to look for one with my nephew and you feel like the salesman is doing YOU a favor by selling you a new truck.
That is the only time I ever told a salesman and his sales manager to go #$@# themselves.
Rant completed, bought him a used 2008 Ranger XL at Mullinax Ford......they just took this in on trade for a Roush mustang.
