Actually its a pretty even match, DOHC really helps the taco vs SOHC of the ranger. The taco is only slightly faster..but it weighs more

well hes had it for 2 years and its over 100,000. the only problems he's had was a waterpump right when he got it. Thats also his dd. I'm thinkin i have the advantage but idk. well just have to find out... not that i can lock my rear : ) He says the ranger gets about 12 mpg if hes lucky.
