The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most versatile trucks available on the market as it bridges the gap for those needing to tow or haul but are not in the market for a full size pickup truck. The Toyota Tacoma offers a smaller frame truck that is capable of doing jobs such as moving residencies, small business, and even smaller construction sites.

The 2019 Tacoma is a night and day difference from its humble beginnings featuring all of the latest technology that you would expect from a newer vehicle. With over 20 different trim level combinations, finding the right truck with all of the features that you need will be easy!

Today we are going to look at a few of the Toyota Tacoma's biggest competitors and point out some of the biggest advantages of choosing the Tacoma.

Toyota Tacoma Vs Nissan Frontier

One of the Tacoma's biggest competitors in the import market is the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier is very similar to the Tacoma as it takes on an imported look when compared to its domestic competitors. It even features a lot of the same equipment found on the 2019 Tacoma. The Tacoma does outshine the Frontier in many of the important categories including horsepower, torque, and cabin space. The standout features for the 2019 Toyota Tacoma are:

• More Horsepower (159 Horsepower 2.7L Vs 152 Horsepower 2.5L)
• More Torque (180 ft-lbs Vs 171 ft-lbs)
• More Front Legroom (42.9" vs 42.4")

Toyota Tacoma Vs Chevrolet Colorado

Like many vehicles in the Toyota lineup, they have very stiff domestic competition to deal with. For the 2019 Toyota Tacoma, the first domestic competitor on our list is the Chevrolet Colorado. The Colorado is relatively new when compared to the Tacoma, but it was Chevy's answer to the demand for smaller pickup trucks as people migrated from compact cars to trucks and SUVs in the early 2000s. Both have very similar features including performance and tow capacities, but a few perks can be had by going with the Tacoma. These features include:

• Free Maintenance (24 Month, 25,000 Miles Vs 12 Month, Unlimited Miles)
• More Wheel Options Available
• More Trim Levels Available

Toyota Tacoma Vs Ford Ranger

A once discontinued model in the Ford lineup of vehicles, the Ford Ranger made its reappearance in 2019 with a very impressive revival that put it in the ranks of the Toyota Tacoma. In its prime, the Ranger was a smaller, workforce style truck with minimal features. The new 2019 Ford Ranger has been loaded up with all types of new features and technology that has made it tough competition for the Tacoma. While it does have a pretty big hype surrounding the new release, the Tacoma outshines the Ranger with the following features:

• Free Maintenance (24 Month, 25,000 Miles Vs None)
• More Wheel Options Available
• More Trim Levels Available
