The TRD Pro is the greatest off-road option among the Toyota Tacoma's five powertrain trim level options.

For those who want to take their off-roading to the next level, the Ford Ranger includes

the Ranger Raptor as a stand-alone trim level with more powertrain options. Fox shocks with a 2.5 inch internal bypass are used by the Ranger Raptor,

[{"selector":"#anim-776882b8-e67a-4c1f-bb90-cd7330d2f189 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.845949114181108%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf7a90c3-72e8-4daa-99c8-4b4eba237485","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4392eb7a-6549-4e66-86bb-5b2fa5d76a34","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(121.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

whereas Fox shocks with an inch internal bypass are used by the Tacoma TRD Pro. Compared to its Ford counterpart,

[{"selector":"#anim-2502b4f8-1ed6-43f5-808b-1873d5ff4cbc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37c98711-5660-41e7-b0bb-0d5026650113","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33076505-5795-4e98-8469-9f279e6b8a0a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.66668%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

this offers a wider range of suspension movement and a smoother ride overall.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Ford Ranger Raptor promises adventure on the road.

On the other hand, Toyota's Rav4 Adventure has a 3.5-liter V6 engine and lacks the robust equipment of its rivals. As a result,
