Differences Between 2019 Jeep Wrangler & 2019 Toyota Tacoma

Serving Cincinnati, OH, Columbus, OH, and Springfield, OH

The 2019 Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Tacoma are both supremely capable. These vehicles are known for their utility, but they’re also nicely stocked with comfort and tech features. So, which should you choose? Our comparison guide takes a closer look at Jeep’s off-road-ready SUV and Toyota’s mid size pickup truck.

Off-Road Performance

If you’re looking to traverse rugged trails, there’s no better option than the 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The standard 3.6-liter V6 engine provides 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to help you scale mountains and hurl through mud. Every Wrangler comes standard with four-wheel drive, because this SUV is ready for action. If you want the most in off-road-readiness, you should check out the 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. This trim model can take whatever you can throw at it, thanks to rugged performance gear like electronic front and rear lockable differentials, rock rails, and special off-road tires. The Toyota Tacoma is also pretty capable, but its size and shape make it less adept on rugged trails than the Wrangler. The Tacoma offers four-wheel drive, but this performance gear isn’t standard equipment.

Modern Tech Features

Here, the 2019 Jeep Wrangler also has the edge. We’re big fans of its Uconnect infotainment system, which features both a responsive 8.4-inch touchscreen and a long list of voice controls. It’s easy to use, whether you’re stuck in traffic or cruising down the back roads. You can even add a premium Alpine audio system for an upscale infotainment experience. The Uconnect system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can even use your smartphone without ever having to pick it up. The Toyota Tacoma’s infotainment system includes Siri Eyes Free technology and a handy 7-inch touchscreen. However, it doesn’t include complete smartphone integration capabilities with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology.

Passenger Comfort

The recently redesigned Jeep Wrangler is more comfortable than ever before. The front seats are supportive and roomy, delivering enough comfort for your daily commute and even lengthy road trips. Unlike previous Wranglers, this one comes standard with air conditioning, wrapping you in modern comfort. As you climb the trim levels, you’ll find increasing style and luxury. Options like premium leather upholstery and heated seats offer impressive comfort. Although the Tacoma has a lot to offer in terms of comfort, some drivers may find it difficult to access the cabin, which is pretty high off the ground.
