A Flawless Combination of Style and Capability

Truck in stylish efficiency with the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing exterior that’s available at Toyota of Rock Hill. The ability to turn heads comes standard with the 2022 Tacoma’s available Nightshade Special Edition package. Opt for the Nightshade Special Edition, and you’ll capture the spotlight with a sleek blacked-out exterior trim, a package-exclusive grille, and much more.

Drivers seeking an exterior that’s ready for any off-road challenge can meet their needs with the available 2022 Tacoma Trail Special Edition. Exclusive Lunar Rock coloring, a heritage-inspired “TOYOTA” front grille, and distinct “Trail” badging help the 2022 Tacoma Trail Special Edition’s exist in a league of its own.

Opportunities to customize your 2022 Tacoma’s exterior extend beyond the Trail Special Edition trim. An embossed tailgate with a Tacoma logo, available LED headlights, and a fierce grille design ensure that your 2022 Tacoma will never lack character.

Ford mirrors the 2022 Tacoma’s approach with the 2021 Ranger’s durable exterior elements that make easy work of off-roading situations. While the 2021 Ranger excels off the beaten path with components like a high-strength steel frame and frame-mounted steel bumpers, 2022 Tacoma off-road-focused variants like the Trail Special Edition offer a more distinct sense of style with features like matte-finished bronze-colored wheels.

Visit Toyota of Rock Hill today to receive a front-row view of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s show-stopping exterior.

Experience Interior Satisfaction at Every Turn

Remain in control of your driving comfort with the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s available 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that features 2-way lumbar support. Soft-touch materials help establish the 2022 Tacoma’s inviting cabin atmosphere, while Tacoma Limited and TRD Pro 2022 Tacomas offer refined leather-trimmed seating.

Control of your inner driving world is always within arm’s reach when you go with a 2022 Tacoma V6 trim. Toyota includes dual-zone automatic climate control within every 2022 Tacoma V6 model, so your ideal trucking experience is always an engine-start away. Incorporate a slice of the outdoors into your 2022 Tacoma cabin when conditions prove ideal with the available power sliding rear window.

The 2021 Ford Ranger’s interior stays in the now with smartphone compatibility and dual-zone automatic climate control but falls short of the 2022 Tacoma’s practicality that elevates every trucking journey. Drive a 2022 Tacoma, and you’ll receive two standard USB charging ports instead of the 2021 Ford Ranger’s one standard USB charging port.

How Do These Two Truck’s Off-Road Performances Compare?

Toyota gives you the tools you need to conquer the open road with the 2022 Tacoma. This all-new Toyota truck shines in its ability to maintain superior levels of control throughout variable terrains. The 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-Road best displays this commitment to off-roading excellence with ORP skid plate and suspension, electronically locking rear differential, Off-Road Crawl Control, and much more.

Standard electronically locking rear differential helps you achieve consistently high levels of traction that come courtesy of engine power distribution to both rear wheels. Available Bilstein® shocks within the 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-Road absorb forceful impacts that occur during off-roading, while Multi-Terrain Select adds five new layers of focus to every drive. You’ll find that features like Bilstein® shocks perfectly complement this Toyota Tacoma’s towing capacity that can move up to 6800-lbs.

It’s true that the 2021 Ford Ranger can hold its own during off-roading with features like heavy-duty off-road suspension, Performance Parts Packages, and a Terrain Management System. These capabilities cover important off-roading bases—but the 2021 Ranger’s Terrain Management System sports four drive modes that fall just short of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s five Multi-Terrain Select drive variants. Pair these five terrain selections with the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s engine options that include a 3.5-liter V6 for endless trucking thrills.

Level-up Your Driving Presence

Seamlessly access driving satisfaction with the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s all-encompassing technological capabilities. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto compatibility help the 2022 Tacoma curate essential apps like messages, maps, and your favorite music. Consider utilizing Alexa to navigate your Tacoma’s technology features if you’re looking for help from a friendly and familiar voice.

The 2022 Tacoma confidently expands your driving perspectives with the available Panoramic View Monitor that projects a 360-degree view of your outside surroundings. Drivers behind the wheel of a 2021 Ford Ranger are limited to a rearview camera view that lacks the dynamism of the 2022 Tacoma’s Panoramic View Monitor.

Safety Showdown

Drivers need any edge they can get in the safety category. Lead by example with the 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s six exceptional standard safety features that outshine the 2021 Ranger’s five standard security systems. The 2022 Tacoma’s extra standard security feature is its Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system that’s only available on the 2021 Ranger.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control fosters a preset driving speed and distance from the vehicle you’re following. You can utilize the 2022 Tacoma’s Dynamic Radar Cruise Control from 25 mph all the way up to 110 mph.
