Best Midsize Pickup Truck 4x4 System Is: 2024 TACOMA (vs Colorado, Ranger, Ridgeline, Frontier, Gladiator) - TFL Test

TFL runs the Chevy Colorado, Ford Ranger, Honda Ridgeline, Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma through the TFL Slip test and some off-roading on the onX Offroad Course to see which 4x4 system (or all-wheel drive, in the Honda Ridgeline's case) is the best.

Says a lot that the OR Taco stands out here, and given the price point of the Mojave that's definitely TRD Pro territory, even more of a win there.

I love all these comparison videos (this one may actually be helpful) So many are subjective etc.

I know not one truck is perfect for everyone but there is only one of these trucks listed on the 2024 Kelley Blue Book Best 5 year resale list. It is the Tacoma! KBB projects the value 5 years out with 75,000 miles to determine residual values. My 2019 SR5 4x4 which I traded on my 2024 came in at 88% of what I paid in summer of 2020. That means more to me that comparing a bunch of trucks for a few days.
