2020 Toyota Tacoma Reviews Summary

Growing up in the post–Marty McFly era, I saw small Toyota pickups everywhere. The Toyota Tacoma remains a top-selling midsize truck in North America, a vehicle that by any measure is loud, slow, and defiantly old-fashioned. It’s the capability, size, and dependable off-road features that keep Tacoma buyers satisfied. For 2020, new Toyota Tacomas get few but important design and technology updates to push this rough-and-tumble pickup into modern times.

2020 RAM 1500 Reviews Summary

A full redesign for the 2019 model year left a significant bit of tech on the table for the increasingly popular Ram 1500 pickup truck: the EcoDiesel 3.0-litre engine. Ram was once the only option for a half-ton diesel pickup, but emissions certification problems resulted in Ram pulling the diesel engine a few years ago. The engineers at Ram have been hard at work updating it ever since. Although the EcoDiesel wasn’t ready for 2019, it’s now available for any 2020 Ram 1500 trim, so it seems it was well worth the wait. With 80% new parts, the EcoDiesel's improvements to power, efficiency, and delivery all mean that Ram is fighting hard to change minds about North America’s least-loved engine type.
