I took issue with the scoring on the utility side of things. Yeah the Ranger has a higher payload and towing capacity than the Tacoma. But if you're worried about absolute capability, you should be looking at a half ton anyway. Meanwhile, the Tacoma had the superior bed tie-down system, not to mention the back seat is infinitely more useful. It folds 60/40, as opposed to the Ranger's one piece bench. There is storage under the Tacoma's rear seat, unlike in the Ranger. The Tacoma has a dampened tailgate, the Ranger does not. Little quality of life things like this add to the Utility of the truck.
