Toyota Tacoma vs. Ford Ranger: which midsize truck wins in 2025? Both the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger enter the model year with all-new, or updated powertrains and more.

Ford's current plan is to offer a gasoline-powered Ranger only in the U.S. Ford offers hybrid powertrains on Maverick and F-150 as well as the fully electric F-150 Lightning.

Ford wins on the high end, given the outstanding performance of the Ranger Raptor and its pricing. It is more than competitive with Toyota's pricey Tacoma TRD Pro in every off-road metric that counts.
