Which truck is the quickest? This question has been around since there were two trucks in the world. This time it’s a three-way drag race between the 2017 Honda Ridgeline AWD, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, and the 2016 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X.
Yes, not all of these trucks are meant for speedy accelerations, as the Tacoma and the Frontier are dedicated off-road models. Still, we wanted to find out who would be able to get ahead at the next stop light.
Thanks to IMI Motorsports for providing a dedicated close section of race track for the purposes of this test.
Here are the raw specs for comparison. We will include the Chevy Colorado or a GMC Canyon in a similar test when the 2017 models become available.
