Probably one of the better videos from TFL in quite a while. Basically to the point & not a lot of fluff.
Nice to be to fast forward turning a 20 minute video into about 6 forgoing the bad dialogue and personalities.
Same thing I do with the Hoonigan videos.
I stopped watching them because of all the Fluff.
The Fluff is starting to stink
Yeah I had to unsubscribe. The videos are a pain an a waste of time. Especially when they call a ridgeline a truck. They put so much dumb stuff into the videos like a vlog instead of just reviewing vehicles.
For being a mile above sea level, the frontier was very close to the turbo taco
At about 900ft elevation, where I live, the Nissan feels quick. I was surprised when I test drove it.
@@RockCh4lk Didn't TFL test hit 60 mph in 9+ seconds when they tested it previously? Let's just say at sea level that cuts about 1.5 seconds and with a better driver. It's probably still in the 7 second range, which is not that good.
Even w/o a turbo, the Frontier has a lot more cubes.
Not what I was expecting, I thought the 2.7 Colorado would have cleaned house. Only thing predictable was the Jeep dead last. I thought the Toyota and Ranger would have been close but not even in the same ballpark. You can see Ford knows how to program that 10 speed watch it jump forward every time it shifts next to its opponent. The 10 speed probably has more to do with the win than you’d think.
Tacoma
Wow, surprised the Ranger is the fastest truck and that’s with the baby motor. Can’t wait to see what the 2.7 will do, or the Raptor with the 3.0.
Car & Driver has the Raptor within a tick of the fastest non Raptor R F150 so in the 5.3-5.4 range, and about where the Explorer ST is.
Should help Ford dealers price gouge just a little more than if it wasn't.
I have the 2.7 in my F150. It is very quick. It is so fast in Sport that I don’t even use that to avoid getting myself in trouble. Now at 100k, truck still looks like the day that I bought it. Oil changes, and recently changed the plugs - which was easy, lots of room near the engine.
Man i hate it
@@Legos37😂😂so fast in sport lmao. Placebo effect. Your shift points are just lightly changed. Want to feel fast, get it tuned.
Who remembers the GMC Typhoon and GMC Syclone? 1991 to '93. Fun and fast like a wild horse.
Syclone would destroy all these trucks as it ran low 4s in 0-60 and mid to low 13s in the 1/4 mile, but it was only built to go fast. The rest of these trucks can also handle offroading, well maybe not the Honda.
😂😂😂😂. Never.
@@shay1116 GMC claimed a sub-five-second zero-to-60-mph time for the Syclone, which was just insane in 1991. (Specifically, the estimates were 4.6 seconds to 60, and 13.4 seconds through the quarter-mile.) The Typhoon was slower, notching a mid-five-second (5.3-second) zero-to-60 time. GMC was proud of its top speed-124 mph(!).
I had a Syclone. It would do low 14's at pretty close to sea level.
@@andyharman3022Low 14s? Were you running 87 octane?
Can't wait to see what the 2.7 does in Ranger .
Its more complicated and less reliable. Everyone seems to agree the 2.3L has good power for the Ranger.
🙄@@jeffk464
@@jeffk464 simply not true. 2.7 has proven reliable in the f150 over the years after the early growing pains.
2.7 ecoboost will be a monster tbh
@@jeffk464 2.7 is more reliable
This isn't even the Ranger's final form. That's the base engine.
I’m going for the xlt Ranger with the 2.7!!
@@neilcarter77 My 2018 F150 ext cab 2.7 10 speed is scary in sport mode. That Ranger should be a beast...
Yes if that awful sounding 2.3 in the Ranger is this quick- the 2.7 V6 is going to be class leading as far as outright performance like this goes. Could the Ranger outsell the Tacoma? 🤔 If Ford can make enough of them recall-free - maybe.
Same goes for the tacoma hybrid engine with 465 foot pounds of torque and 326 hp. Can't wait to see the hybrid more next month.
@@canadaspy007 That would be a great shootout between the Ranger and Tacoma!
The Colorado has the largest and most aggressive tires. I’d be curious to see what it would run like with comparable tires to the Taco and Ranger
A lot of unsprung weight at the corners.
No cruise control though. Automatic failure
I'd like to see all 6 race at one time, side by side.
wait for Mat Watson then :)
Yeah, the bracket doesn't make much sense. Run em side by side for a true comparison. I loved seeing the R/T, had an old Durango R/T.
That Ridgeline did a lot better than I would have thought.
There must've been an error with the clock because it got crushed by the Chevy, theres no way it was less than 17 seconds
Just needs the 10-speed. The 3.5 is quick.
@@kj64gaming19 the ridgeline has that good ol 3.5 v6 brother
*"Lets Get Serious"* , Honda is not into making pickup trucks, just like Toyota is not into the making EVs.
Just _"weak"_ token gestures, in the fields I mentioned 🧐
@icosthop9998 the Honda is a minivan with the roof removed over the 3rd row seating.
In 3 runs the Ranger runs above 16.5 every tiime except when running the Colorado. Some how they run 1/2 a second faster and coincidentally Andre falls asleep at the lline. If I was betting at a track I'd just take Roman every time almost regardless of what they're driving.
This video was sponsored by a Ford dealership..🙄
Lol yeah. That chevy should have dusted the ranger.
@@geopioneergsxr5357
I pointed this out too. They didn't even acknowledge that the Ranger could never reproduce that run again and the Ranger did catch the Colorado already coming off a run so it was already at a disadvantage. Plus compare the weight of the wheel/tire combos between the Ranger and Colorado. They really should be doing 3 runs and not one to average them to account for anomalies.
Paid advertisement by ford.
Literally sponsored by ford.@@shay1116
As long as we know. They way they lined them up is to ensure Tacoma vs ranger at the end.
what a great time to be a truck fan... all the current mid size trucks are pretty great!
You got that right!
The prices are all awful tho
"Andre, which truck would you buy?"
He already bought it
He also nought it before the Tacoma and Ranger were released.
It cruises very nice 😂
Yeah, he drank "Da KooL Aid" 😅
@@icosthop9998There's Colorado Kool-Aid now?
@@JonBecker81 He made the right decision
The old Dodge was impressive at that altitude, at sea level the story might have been a little different, the old gal might have taken the win, but if the Ranger had a 2.7 Ecoboost not so sure. My 23 F150 with that engine never fails to put a lil smile on my face when I mash the go pedal.
😂 The 2.7 EB Ranger would leave the Dakota for dead regardless of altitude
v6 ranger will have a sub 5 second 0-60 in 4wd and some prep
@@BC08only took ford 24 years to catch up 😂
@@Link-we8so Ford had the 10th gen Lightning back when this Dakota was out.
It ran mid 13s stock.
Ford was always ahead
@@Link-we8so5.9 Dakotas were not that quick. Ford could have made a 5.0 Ranger but didn't for some reason. It fit in the similar Explorer. Regardless, the 2019 Ranger 2.3 could probably beat a stock Dakota 5.9.
Ford Ranger was Amazing with such a small 4 cylinder! Way to Go Ford! I think the Chevy looks the Best .
Toyota is the best by far and looks the best too
@allentoyokawa9068 😅 results disagree but your opinion is yours.
@@allentoyokawa9068 Ranger 2.7 V6 is going to kill. Styling has grown on me but it's neither exciting or ugly. Tacoma is ugly.

Predictions before watching. Ranger wins, Gladiator will be the slowest.
Ranger loses
@@allentoyokawa9068
You must have watched a different video??
@@allentoyokawa9068 Ranger is by far the quickest of all new midsize trucks. It has more standard horsepower than the Tacoma and quicker than the optional Tacoma engine with similar output.
@@kennetho5393 and guaranteed Ford will up power levels at certain point in the body style and not only that the 2.7 will be out soon
Ford is king of trucks
Would like to see the Colorado vs. the Ranger again. If they had a bad start it should be redone. Not a true test. Either way, love the videos.
Maybe a bad start, but the Colorado also never closed the gap.
yea, that was bs
dude was sleeping on the line pretty bad, and as far as closing a gap the camera angles don't really show a true show. re-run that race
Andre is an awesome guy but not the best drag racer. He got gapped of the line pretty much every time and if you start poorly it’s hard to catch up in a close race
This is why they also have 1/4 mile timers with trap speed.
Now that is proper March Madness!!
With all these new midsize trucks out now or coming soon, this series is what I needed. Thanks TFL.
Nicely conceived, well videod, and concisely edited to not waste time. Good content.
Much appreciated!
😂
Nice Sunday morning watching you knuckleheads is well spent !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice to see the Taco made it to the end without breaking. 😂
Tacos break…Tacoma‘a not so much. However, maybe the 24’s
They were careful to keep the toecoma on the pavement and not drive it off road and rolling over those tufts of grass…😳
umm they do NOT break, so stop troll
😂
@@allentoyokawa9068theirs did break! It is Mexican crap!
Ranger with the 2.7 & 3.0 Raptor are going to rule all.
Besides reliability lol.
100% Ranger power
Your right!!!
Yes Indeed !!
One advantage the Ranger has is the lighter weight.
Great video! Thank you for putting all the specs on the screen!
Once again Andre's truck impressed me.
If it only had cruise control 😅
When it runs…
That 10 speed transmission made a difference. That looked like fun. The not so fast not so furious 😂
They’re fast but annoying, in normal driving the 10 speed is constantly shifting and confused.

@@kennetho5393 not suprising.
i like the drone footage. great vid
Agree 👌
that Dakota is impressive for being 24 yrs old. and only had like 250hp back then
Imagine the Ranger with the 2.7 when it comes out
imagine the toyota with the 3.3 tt..
@@carholic-sz3qv Difference is Ford is actually going to offer this. Keep wishing on that Toyota.
@@chadgraber4575 lol!!! most people are going to buy the smaller engine for better fuel economy and also because its much cheaper i dont care if toyota offers more engine choice or not!
@@carholic-sz3qv Um, this is literally about drag racing... that's it. MGP has nothing to do with this video, or my comment. The Ford 4 cyl beat everyone. And the V.6 will be even that much better, hence my comment. Then you brought up the idea of the 3.3 in the Taco so I guess you do care lol
Love the drone shots. Really displays the acceleration differences
It does!
Andre's face in when racing in the Dakota was hilarious.
I owned a brand new 87 Ford Ranger XLT as a teenager and I loved that truck. I used to go offroading with a friend who had a Toyota pickup at the time and I could make it up the hill climbs that he couldn't. The TTB (Twin Traction Beam) front suspension on the Ford was way better at putting traction to the ground!
Amazing! 10 years ago the mid sized truck segment seemed dead, except for the Taco. Great to see the resurgence!
Here in Vietnam rangers are everywhere including diesels its a world platform and that dakota did great for the price
Pretty good for the Ford base motor
Can't wait to see how the 2024 tacoma with the hybrid engine performs. That torque will be something.
Loved this video, thanks TFL.
I knew the Ford wouldn't let me down...great video guys keep it up...
1st time a ford didnt let you down bahahahhahaha
First on Race day... always
Ford is great when new 🤣
Ranger did pretty good. I noticed it has the lowest curb weight here, so I don't know if that helped as well.
It's physics, weight did help.
And way higher payload than the taco
@@marklihsu Not a higher payload than my 1993 Toyota Pickup though lol. Bring back single cabs.
10 speeds are always faster the 8 speeds thats also a factor
@@marklihsu The Taco is also less than the Hilux which can manage about 2500 lbs.
This idea is so cool! So happy for TFL actually can make this idea happened.
Reaction time is everything in drag racing!!!!!!
The Ridgeline is the modern day El Camino
The El Camino had a full frame, RWD, and a V8. The ridgeline is a minivan with the back cut open.
You just insulted the crap out of every El Camino owner on the planet. Apologize.
@@elcaminosunlimited"Pilot" with the back cut off. They are _slightly_ different.

Pint size.
😮... cannot wait to see 2.7 upcoming in the Ranger and the Raptor 3.0.
Always great videos, thanks TFL!
I worked for a Big Midwest Auto Dealer so I drove all those Trucks New on the Street.
From the Drivers seat I liked the Jeeps Instrument and Interior the best but Id take the Ranger.
Looking forward to Mr. Truck and the ike!!
Really sad that the Turbo charged Toyota barely beat the Naturally aspirated V6 Nissan Frontier. I have the Nissan Frontier Pro-4x and I can honestly say from driving and using it that it's a much better choice and value than the Toyota Tacoma.
Good for you. You bought a truck still riding on the same bones as 2006
@@beexiong2995 Found the Toyota fanboy 🤣
@@Craig-yj5gb im just anti nissan. Any manufacturer that is as lazy and dumb as they are needs to be exploited for calling an old truck with a new clown outfit acceptable is embarrassing
@@beexiong2995if it works it works. And it works well so why ruin it?
Just drove my new 2020 bought ago thru the rockies. It ate up snow, rain and hills. Love it.
Frontier is still number 1. Cant argue with best bang for the buck. Does anyone really ever use all the extra options though? all the modes? If i would rank. I would do Nissan, Chevy, Toyota, Ranger
Reminds me of a high speed drag race we had by the cemetery behind McDonald's when in high school. One friend had an automatic Chevette and the other an automatic Pinto and at the end of a butt puckering 1/8 mile race and about 60 seconds later, the Chevette was ahead by a bumper.
Ahead by a bumper IN the cemetery or IN the wall of the McDonald? C’mon man. After a preamble sentence like that you MUST spice the story up a little. 😃
😆🤣😆🤣
Love the Gladiator!
But not the reliability 😂😂
@@Blue-moon12 naturally aspirated proven V6 engine. Bulletproof transmission and transfer case and two Dana 44 differentials. Very reliable actually
@@Blue-moon12agreed
Just traded in my 2020 Galdiator. Great truck...was trouble free, and loads of fun. Easily took 33 in tires, and was comfortable on long rides...2 things a Tacoma can't do. Then, remove the roof on a summer day and GAME OVER.
Hell yeah!! TFL going big in the midsized test👍
Excellent video fellas. Keep having fun !!!
The kings of truck reviews!!!!
Great Video
More to come!
I wish you guys would come off the mountain to test because 90% of us don't live a mile above sea level and these tests mean nothing to the rest of us. Thanks for at least mentioning this so people are aware of it when shopping for new vehicles.
They're based in Boulder, Colorado. They would have to drive about 12 hours to find someplace at sea level.
Love this video, most because just got my Ranger Wildtrack delivered last week. A pleasure to drive.
I love the styling of the Nissan, all the 80s goodness
Never driven one, but I really like that frontier.
If I had to get one out of that group it would be the Frontier. I wish it had a stick like the Tacoma (or they could have just carried it over from the last one), but other than that I like it best.
@@bcyr-COagreed, I’d already own a frontier if it came with a third pedal.
That looks like the base truck. The Pro4X looks much sharper with the LEDs and everything. I have a 23 frontier PRO4X absolutely love it.
And to think that is the slowest ranger. Lol
The Dakota is cooler than any of them in my mind. That was such a great time for Dodge.
Thank y’all for handling all the logistics to make this video happen!!
I’m surprised the Toyota didn’t break again
Entertainment for a Sunday morning! 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great video! Looking forward to round two. I wonder how my Maverick, with the eco boost engine, would have done in this test.
The newer direct injected Nissan V6s are severely underrated in horsepower. We had a Pathfinder with the 3.5 Liter version this Frontier 3.8 and it was an absolute screamer "on the cams". That 310 hp rating on the Frontier is a worst case scenario on crappy octane gas on a hot day. Probably more like 325 after a good break in. Admittedly, the Pathfinder was awful with the CVT but that engine tried its heart out. If Nissan wanted to throw down they could put the GT-R engine in the Frontier.
Fun video. So round one goes to the Ranger. Can't wait for the rest of the competition. Also later this yeas it will be nice to how the 2.7 TT Ranger does along with the Raptor? Lots more power on tap.
Great job TFL crew.
Tacoma is quite disappointing. Probably not as much as the Tundra, but close.
It's disappointing all around. Slower than the Ford, bad payload, bad towing, worst legroom and highest priced. Made in Mexico vs made in USA. But they fixed the seating position 😂
They're both a big disappointment to me at least. They could've been much better or at least keep the high reliability they used to have. I'm a Toyota fan so it's sad to see this
You are blind. The taco was never class leading ever. When has it ever been about numbers? The only number that matters is sales. And its not even close tacoma>the rest
Another great TfL production 🤠
Awesome drag race! I'm now impressed at the power of the new trucks after the Ford spanked the 360 RT Durango. They don't have the torque out of the hole, but they have gears and horsepower to go fast. Great showing!
That was a fun video! It’d be cool to do the same race at sea level & see the difference.
Yes I’m surprised it was so close. Turbos really help at higher elevations.
The Nissan or Honda would win.
@@RockCh4lk< But they didn’t.
@@RockCh4lk Maybe…but that’s why I’d like to actually see it.
Think the Colorado should rematch the Ford. I think it was just a bad run for Andre.
Andre may have been holding back to keep from tearing the Chevy up.
I own a 3rd gen Frontier. They are slow af lol.
From a roll the new 24+ Tacos would leave me in the dust.
Similarly from a roll my Frontier would do the same to the 3.5L (3rd gen) and 4.0L (2nd gen) Tacos.
Those V6 engines for me are the best out there, natural aspirated with out turbos and other stuff, they are reliable and easy to work on.
Crazy to see that mid size trucks have now become the average man’s truck… the full size trucks are just too damn expensive now
Mid size trucks are also near the size of full size truck from the mid 2000s. The "midsize" trucks have grown a lot
The 10 speed aint no joke
Until it breaks. Although if you lose one gear you still have 9 🤣
@@MariuszChr The GM 8L is worse

Great video guys. Really made my Sunday morn. Excited to see the off-road tests. I’m secretly rooting for the Ranger.
I would still buy the Nissan frontier over all of those because of the naturally aspirated v6
I'll be driving my 2022 Nissan many more miles than the turbos. 😊
Vq powa
As a former Nissan owner...no you won't.
@@RockCh4lk
This is very likely true.
To be fair most stoplight simulated street race you may face is 1/8 or less
I enjoyed the clip guys, good work. The Dakota makes me think of my 2002 Dakota club cab4x4 with the 4.7 liter. That truck had good acceleration.
Man this was a good video TFL! Can't wait for part 2!!!
Should have raced the Colorado and Ranger again since Andrea fell asleep at the pedal
Yep, that was also the only race where they didn't show the 1/4 mile time on the gadget. I think they knew they blew it.
@@VortexArcade By Andrea's previous run, you can tell there would've almost been a tie, but the Ford appeared to be a tick quicker and faster.
I wanna see what would happen between the Colorado and ranger if Andre hadn’t been sleeping on the line.

@@altimax98 Did you even watch the video ? The draggy literally shows you the time, Ranger would have been faster regardless
Who buys any of these trucks and wonders "Hmmm I wonder how it does in a drag race"
Exactly what I was thinking. I love these guys and what they do but this is useless of a test.
Great video guys..... well done. It looks like the Turbo charged.Four cylinders can outdo the normally aspirated six cylinder. But honestly they were not that far apart. It'll be interesting to see the towing test though I will suggest the Ranger will take it. Ford has figured out how to get the torque down low and match the transmission to it. It is pretty cool that we have such a selection of mid size trucks that are very capable. You used to give up a lot of ability with the mid-size over a full size but not as much anymore.
Already knew the ranger was the fastest
Andrea is so funny with his facial expressions lol
Excellent extra production on this one, guys!
Im not a dodge guy but id pick the rumble bee for price sound and it honestly wasnt that far behind for the age and altitude. And i like the simple interior, column shifter, and real gauges 👍
The towing and off road test to me is more important than a drag race. Very few people buy a truck for drag racing.
You buy horsepower, drive torque.
The 2.7 Ranger is going to be a monster.
Not necessarily... The v6 power curve is worse than that of a I4 or a V8 meaning a lot more has to go into the engine for it to compete.
@@bladeftw6378 I'm confused. The 2.7 V6 has twin turbos and makes more torque down low than many V8s.
@@kennetho5393 well that is the point of turbos, they have to put twin turbos on there for that purpose... But still the I4 is beating the 2.7 eco boost they are planning on putting in the ranger. With V6 it needs the twin turbo to achieve that level of power to match that of the I4 or the V8. I think V6's are going to see themselves out eventually. It's just a lot easier to get more power out of the inline 4 than it is to get it out of the V6.
@@bladeftw6378 The V6 exceeds the torque of I4 versions greatly (310 vs 400 ft-lb of torque). The GM 2.7 doesn't really make more torque except on paper. It doesn't show up in the real world. The GM 2.7 4cyl also sucks fuel like a V8.
@@kennetho5393 lol not my V8 my V8 got 13 miles to the gallon, I don't know what V8 you been driving lol
Spectacular. Fun and entertaining to watch. Well produced.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
This is slowly evolving into an advertisement channel 😢
It has been
My son's got a Ranger, he'll be happy to see it finished 1st. We're going to look at and possibly buy a Catalina 25 (that's a sailboat) today, so lets hope it does as well towing as it did on the drag race. We'll certainly find out ourselves how well it tows with it weighing right at 6,000 lbs with the trailer boat and gear. His 2023 Ranger is 7500 lbs and his truck's door sticker says it has a 1443 lb payload capacity so we're good on both of those. If we buy it well certainly find out how it tows as we have a 3 hr drive from Lexington KY back to Indianapolis IN.
I have a 2022 ranger and tow a 4500 lbs tritoon often and it does fantastic
It should do fine at that weight. It's not a weight I'd tow daily or a couple times a week. A couple times a month will be fine but I'd change the oil a little earlier during boating season. On the highway I'd use 8th gear.
I seen you post about that fkn catalina 3 times already. Shut up about it
Ranger sounded like parts were falling off of it. Typical Ford junk
@@Jose-Ramos-Jr That was parts from the typical Dodge falling off that the Ranger was running over.
Awesome show again and good to see comparison. However, we have a Ridgeline truck and find it more than fast enough, great handling in year round drive, off road adventures we do, towing we do, and things we carry in bed, be it new furniture and appliances or dump run items. It's all we need. The others are awesome, but we don't need more ground clearance and traxda offers 1.5" to maybe 3" leveling/lift kits if we wanted and rims and tires options available. We have All weather winter rated All terrain Nokian Rotiiva tires which is great for us. We did notice less sporty than summer tires especially carving corners around lake superior which you guys should do some testing.
Solid video TFL.
I own a 22 Ranger XLT and that 2.3T is prety quick especially since it has the lightest curb wieght hightest payload capacity in this segment.
21 Lariat FX4. It’s quick and the economy is good. Love it!
@@awesomexistence my dad gets 24-28 mpg on the highway with his '21 Ranger 4wd depending on conditions. Winter about 80 mph gets at the lower end. Nice summer day without wind has gotten 28.
Andre was slow off the line, but it seems that despite the power/tq rating of the L3B I never really hear anyone comment about the new Colorado being "fast". "Torquey", maybe.
L3B and 2.7 Ecoboost are similarly rated and supposed to be very similar on stock 87 dyno, so i guess we'll find out in a couple months.
It’s like Roman said, “Ford is the Porsche of pickups”
The 2.7 EB is going a pull of Greyhound or 2 on the HO Colorado
Going by the data from TFL, the Colorado weighs about 500 lbs more than the fifth and new sixth gen Ranger. That alone can offset any power advantage, not to mention Ranger has a little lower rear axle ratio (3.73 vs 3.43 in the GM). Gearing in the 10 speed is similar to the GM 8 speed with a smaller step around 3rd/4th gear in the 10A and an extra OD. Good job Ford in keeping the base Ranger light and plenty quick. The new 2.7 V6 Ranger is probably going to weigh about 150-200 lbs more than base and I'm guessing with a 3.55 axle instead, which will be interesting to see it take on the Colorado.
@@kennetho5393 GM always gear their trucks like cars. It drives me nuts....my truck is constantly shifting and with the 6.0 I should have enough torque to go up a hill without shifting.
@@workct4102 I recently rented a newer Silverado with the 4.3 and 3.23 axle I'm guessing because it didn't sound like a V8 and it had a super tall OD (around 1,300 at 55 mph). It was constantly dropping to fifth and couldn't hold sixth even at 65 mph unless going downhill.
L3B is only torquey above 2500 rpm and the 8 speed still sucks. I have had mine pop out of gear and fail to shift multiple times in less than 10000 miles.
Awesome! Excited for part two!
Great Job TFL!
