Great to see Blaze! Sat morning ☕️ and TFL go good together

[Show-me-how-now]

I loved this review. Other than my Canadian boys on Truck King, no one ever compares the back seat room with someone else in the front. Great job gentleman. 😊

[whodey]

The Frontier in most trims is a great value.
The Hardbody is IMO just a cash grab. Over priced SV.

[louism]

I remember when those Dakota trucks were the biggest of the small trucks!

[ThePuffin]

I love the frontier for what it is, a pickup truck. The zero gravity seats are super comfortable and the fender audio is great for bumping music on a washboard dirt road

[NukePooch]

Digging this comparison series. All are way too expensive, but I really think Ford has done well with the new Ranger. I like the looks, like the rear seat room, like the upcoming 2.7 V-6...

Roman’s comparison scale will confuse many

[rossthompson]

Roman talking the real truths, "I can't get the key out of my pocket cause I'm old and fat." I took that comment personally.

[IndonesianTacticalChannel]

The Ridgeline would be the objective winner for 95% of the actual day to day real world users

[michaellewandowski]

You say all of these are about $45k, but what you're getting for that $45k varies pretty Let's compare: Nissan Hardbody is about $46k, but is their top trim. The Honda Trailsport is also about $46k but is well-equipped (leather seats, etc). The Tailboss... That starts at $38, 000 and MAYBE touches $46k if you option it with everything... which you didn't, so that truck is NOT $45k. The Ranger hits $45k is if you get it pretty well decked out. The Tacoma.... is $45k for a TRD Off Road... barebones with an automatic transmission. No leather seats. No options. Nada. So.... please.... be more honest about what you're getting for the money. 🙄

I'm still in love with my 21 Honda Ridgeline!

57:45 - Roman, most of us have one or two cars not 20 that cycle through every four months so we get used to what we have. I still don’t like the ignition button but when you’re not hopping between vehicles, your muscle memory sets in. your complaint is unwarranted. As far as engines go, I won’t trust the turbo until I see many of them crossing the 200, 000 mile mark without major engine repair.

[rondail]

I like the trucks with a V6, Frontier, Ridgeline, and Ranger.

[jonathanfree]

Glad to see the Ridgeline as an actual part of the comparison. It’s a bit exhausting hearing all about the higher tow or off-road chops for some of these brands when so so many consumers aren’t going to need to actually use that capability often. But fitting a friend, a kid, or a dog in the back seat, or driving for longer than 30 minutes with some regularity for comfort, or needing a vehicle that doesn’t need a step stool for the whole family to get into it, isn’t worth heavy consideration typically with the truck content. I get the niche that the truck channel serves, and the fact y’all are in Colorado, but the midsize segment doesn’t feel like it serves the same market/needs as the heavy duty or full size segment, functionality and livability at a competitive price range seem worth valuing for these vehicles. A great side by side comparison of so many options in this vid!

[Dusdaddy]

Not bad. A good overall comparison with no clear winner. It totally depends on what you are looking for in a truck. It seems like the pricing followed the level of options. The Honda had heated everything, and powered leather memory seats and it was the most expensive. The Nissan & Ford were next followed by the Taco then the Trailboss.

[wutruriding]

My 2024 TRD OR has an electric rear window and moonroof but it was an option. And yes, rear windows are necessary in these smaller trucks, they greatly improve wind flow and noise when windows r down. Good comparison video, guys!

[thewatcher]

Well done guys, it gives the viewers the ability to have side by side comparisons without seeking multiple videos!!! This has to be your most underrated video…

[TREVORJB]

I had a 98 Dakota 4x4 with the V8. What a fun, solid, little pickup!

[richshan]

Outside of watcbing TFL do these comparison videos, it would be awesome if you could actually walk on a lot where all of them are parked side by side, so that you can actually cross shop them all on one lot. But...Unicorns, Sasquatch, and the Lochness Monster don't actually exist. Thanks TFL for bringing them all together for us. Just wish I was standing right there with you.

As a 2023 ridgeline etl-e owner I can still say I love coming to these videos and seeing the differences in the trucks . I am absolutely amazed how sloppy the Toyota is under the hood . The the ranger infotainment system looks night and day better than my ridgeline .
