If you’re hankering for a new truck, the 2022 Toyota Tacoma and 2022 Honda Ridgeline may be topping your list. To find out which one stands out between the two for drives around Saco, Portland, and Scarborough, ME, a comparison can help. Ira Toyota Saco hopes that this comparison helps you see which vehicle best suits your needs.
One difference appears right away when looking over the available engines. The Tacoma offers two different options, so you can pick the one that aligns with your purposes.
With the Toyota, the standard 2.7L DOHC 4-cylinder engine produces 159 horsepower backed with 180 lb-ft of torque. If you need your engine to provide more power, the available Atkinson-cycle 3.5L V6 engine produces 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.
Under the Honda hood, a comparable 3.5L V6 engine churns out 262 lb-ft of torque. While this comes quite close to the Toyota, it possesses a little less oomph.
Road conditions can change depending on the season, terrain, or even construction status. To make the most of your trips, the Toyota offers two diverse drivetrains. Look for the 4WDemand part-time 4-Wheel Drive system, as well as an optional Rear-Wheel Drive with Automatic Limited-Slip Differential.
The Ridgeline offers one drivetrain. An iVTM4® All-Wheel Drive system guides you through sticky situations in the Honda.
Do you own a trailer? Maybe you’re planning to tow a watercraft, or bikes? You’ll want to know how much each vehicle can tow to determine which can handle what you’re bringing with you.
If you’re veering toward the Toyota, it gives you a maximum towing capacity of 6,800 pounds when properly equipped. With the properly-equipped Honda, you’ll have up to 5,000 pounds of towing power.
Whether you’re sticking around Portland, or heading down to Boston, it helps to know what type of MPG you’ll get. The two are well-matched here: the Tacoma achieves a 2022 EPA-estimated 18 city and 22 highway MPG, while the Ridgeline reaches an EPA-estimated 18 city and 24 highway MPG.1
When it comes to technology, the Toyota wins, hands down. One way it excels stems from the various displays offered in this vehicle.
For instance, features like a Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitor can be added for greater and wider visibility. To back up with ease, the Tacoma provides an integrated backup camera that comes with rear parking assist sonar.
You’ll feel supported when traversing rocky or uneven ground when exploring with the help of the Tacoma’s available Off-Road’s Crawl Control in some trims. Plus, the Multi-Terrain Select with Crawl Control features five different modes to tackle such terrain.
One multi-angle rearview camera supplies three views in the Ridgeline, which does not cover 360-degree views. With the Intelligent Traction Management system, four modes customize your ride over different areas.
