Toyota trucks are great trucks. They are not too small, but not too big either. They have a lot of power, and while we do not recommend it, people have tried to kill a Toyota engine by setting the engine on fire and submerging it in ocean water and were still able to get the engine running. It is safe to say that purchasing a used Toyota Tacoma Fortville, IN is not a bad purchase. Come on into Don Hinds Ford today and as what Tacoma truck we have available.
The Tacoma often gets confused with the Hilux as they are similar in size and shape. However, there are major differences that truck enthusiasts would argue. Nevertheless, a Toyota Tacoma has a strong engine that any truck enthusiast can appreciate and can greatly benefit from.
For instance, the 2020 Toyota Tacoma can come with two engines- a 4-cylinder or a V6 engine. The 4-cylinder is a 2.7 liter that gives 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. It is fuel efficient and has a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features an automatic limited-slip differential on the rear wheels for better traction on slippery roads and non-paved roadways.
The model with the V6 is a 3.5-liter engine. It puts out 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. This truck offers a four-wheel-drive system which also has a 6-speed automatic transmission and a towing capacity of 6,400 lbs. That's pretty impressive for being a mid-size truck.
More modern versions of these trucks feature standard electronically locking rear differentials and a lifted suspension which is perfect for off-road adventures.
First off, the Ranger has a 2.3 L Ecoboost® engine that pushes 270 horsepower. This may seem like it pales in comparison to Tacoma's 3.5 L V6 engine. But don't worry, we're not done yet.
This engine also puts out 310 ft-lbs of torque which beats out Tacoma's mere 265 lbs-ft. The Ranger also sports a ten-speed SelectsShift Automatic transmission, while Tacoma has a 6-speed. The Ranger's towing capacity has a towing capacity of 7,500 lbs and a payload of about 1.905 lbs.
This clearly outperforms Tacoma's mere 7,500lbs towing capacity and 1,440 lbs payload capacity. The Ranger also gets better fuel economy with 21 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. Tacoma only gets 18 MPG city and 22 MPG highway.
If you aren't sure which truck is better, the numbers can't lie. But we will leave that choice to you.
This mid-size pickup truck is a great mix of fun, practical, and versatility. It has all you could want when getting a job done or heading to the city. It is strong enough to haul your equipment yet stylish enough to impress your friends. Moreover, it is comfortable. There is enough space to comfortably fit five people; you can get amenities such as Apple Carpaly® and take your calls through Sync® 3.
Plus, this truck has the option for the Flexbed™ system. This is a 4.5 ft. bed that includes up to 10 available tie-downs and a 110v outlet. It also sports a multi-position tailgate for easy loading and unloading.
We even have our entire used and new inventory online for our customer's convenience. We encourage shoppers to call us for availability as our inventory is always updating. Once you have confirmed your truck is, in fact, still with us, feel free to schedule a test drive.
