Starting over for sons Vehicle due to wreck - Rangers vs Frontiers

I’m going to offer some unpopular opinions here.
Tacomas are overpriced and over appreciated.
The seat angle to floorboard angle sucks. The doors sound cheap when closing. The motors aren’t terribly impressive in power or economy. The interior is very basic. The view from the poor seat angle is awful for corner awareness. Oh and did I mention they’re $10k or more over priced.

This does not apply to landcruisers or the single hilux diesel I’ve ridden in. For some reason they felt different than the tacomas and T100’s I’ve ridden and driven.
 
Had 2013 frontier before I got my tundra, great little truck, no issues just standard maintenance, had 145k when I got rid of it
 
I have 132k miles on my 2019 Ranger. It’s been solid. I’m getting around 22.5 mpg.

The ride isn’t the smoothest. The FX4 suspension can be improved. But that package gets you the electronic locking rear differential.

I’ve had a fuel pump replaced under warranty. That’s it.
 
On my second frontier. Both crew cab SV long beds. First was 2010 had 180k when I upgraded. Bought a 2024 last summer has 18k. No issues. Averaging 20mpg. As stated earlier thing has the turning radius of a pregnant whale. Not into lots of electronic add ons, I like knots on my dash board.
