Which truck is the better truck: Ridgeline or Tacoma?

Affordable trucks are getting increasingly hard to find, but the Tacoma comes in at a nice price. A price so low that it is nearly $8,000 less. That’s quite a high premium for a truck that’s barely a truck, but we will get into that more in a minute.

A real truck comes in two varieties. Four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the truck standards. But the Ridgeline is designed utterly backward with the primary drive wheels up front. That’s because the Ridgeline is less a truck and more of a crossover with a bed. Quite literally in fact. The Ridgeline is based on the Pilot.

When it comes to towing, you want something that can handle a real payload. That’s where the Tacoma truly shines. It has a max towing capacity that is 1,800 pounds higher than the Ridgeline. That’s enough for one or two more ATVs in tow depending on what model you have.

A real truck will always be made with a true body on frame construction. That’s how the Tundra is, that’s how all the major American truck manufacturers do their big trucks, and that’s how Toyota does their Tacoma too. A full frame ensures a more rigid construction for higher durability, better capability, and more reliability. A unibody design is the same design used in compact cars, but when applied to a truck, like the Ridgeline, such a design is far from ideal. The Tacoma has the smart design here and everywhere else.
