Since returning to the catalog, the Ranger has been doing well. Alright. But the hour of its renewal will soon strike. Indeed, from the summer, a brand new version will appear and this one will include a Raptor version. The latter will adopt a supercharged 3L V6. Another six-cylinder engine (2.7L) will be added to the catalog. The 2.3L four-cylinder found in the current version of the Ranger (2023) will be carried over.

Rugged, reliable and roomy, the Ridgeline has a lot going for it, despite a fairly hefty starting price and somewhat dated interior layout. The V6 that drives it consumes roughly the same amount of gasoline as the GMC’s four-cylinder. Due to its architecture (monocoque), the behavior of the Ridgeline is similar to that of a car and does not heckle its occupants, whether the bed is empty or not. However, its towing capacity is much lower than that of the Canyon. And this one isn’t afraid to venture off the beaten path, either.

By the time you read this, Toyota will have lifted the veil on a new generation Tacoma. This model which, in its current form, is not the most gifted of its class yet taunts the competition. Indeed, the Tacoma is the best-selling midsize pickup in North America. Until its commercialization, the current Tacoma remains in service, but struggles to conceal its age. In terms of comfort, ergonomics, driving pleasure and functionality (payload, towing capacity), to name a few, the Canyon does better. But the Toyota has the stainless reputation of being robust, reliable and, above all, highly valued on the second-hand market.
