Now that all three mid-size trucks are brand spanking new, let's take a look at how they stack up against one another.
The 2024 Tacoma is littered with new suspension bits across the lineup. SR, SR5 XtraCab and TRD PreRunner variants continue to run leaf springs in the rear, but other trims pick up a multi-link suspension instead. Different grades have different shocks: TRD Off-Road sports Bilstein monotubes with remote reservoirs, TRD Pro wears Fox adjustable internal-bypass shocks, while Trailhunter rocks ARB's Old Man Emu monotube shocks.
The Ford Ranger isn't any more complex. Standard models come with rear leaf springs and outboard shocks. The Ranger Raptor uses a coil-over setup with adaptive Fox Live Valve dampers, and the rear ditches the leaf springs in favor of a Watts-style getup with trailing arms.Off-Road The Colorado offers between 7.9 and 9.5 inches of ground clearance, rising to 10.7 inches on the ZR2. The Z71 offers 29.1-degree approach, 19.5-degree breakover, and 22.3-degree departure angles; the Trail Boss is a little better at 30.5, 21, and 22.4 degrees, respectively. The ZR2 is obviously the king of the trims—approach is a meaty 38.3 degrees, breakover is 24.6 degrees and departure is 25.1.
We don't have too many dimensions from Toyota yet, but we have a few, and there are plenty available from both Chevy and Ford. The Ranger's 128.7-inch wheelbase is a bit less than the Colorado's 131.4-inch span, but the Tacoma tops them both at 131.9 inches. The Colorado is the tallest of the three. Inside, headroom is nearly even between the Ranger and Colorado, as is rear legroom; Toyota remains tight-lipped on any interior measurements.
