STANDARD GROUND CLEARANCE
DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
INSULATED STORAGE BINS
When the word “truck” comes to mind, it’s often associated with towing and hauling. The 2023 Toyota Tacoma and the 2023 Ford F-150 are more than capable in this department. One area where they truly shine, though, is off-road.
The Tacoma offers innovative Crawl Control. The throttle and brakes are automatically adjusted between five low-speed settings to help you focus on navigating across sand, mud, or other challenging terrain.
The F-150 is available with a similar feature known as Trail Control™.
The Tacoma also has a ground clearance of 9.4 inches across the board. Regardless of the trim level you select, you’ll have the height needed for steep inclines and bumpy roads. Adding to that, the undercarriage of the vehicle will be protected thanks to the available TRD Pro skid plate.
The F-150 offers comparable off-roading features for all types of excursions. However, if you’re hitting the trails in its base configuration, you’ll only have 8.7 inches of ground clearance to work with—watch out for that rock!
Inside the 2023 Tacoma and the 2023 F-150, there’s enough space and creature comforts to help keep drivers and passengers happy.
Both trucks are available with the following amenities:
- Heated front seats
- Dual zone automatic climate control
- 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
- Power moonroof
Whether you’re listening to a podcast from Apple CarPlay® or rocking out to music from SiriusXM®, both trucks also offer a litany of connective features so you can enjoy the ride to the fullest.
What about amenities in the truck bed? These trucks offer plenty. The insulated storage bins, however, are only available with the Tacoma. Pack them with ice to keep your drinks cold during a long ride or an even longer tailgate. They’re integrated into the bed, so they can easily double as a toolbox during the work week.
The Toyota Tacoma and the Ford F-150 are tough trucks, and this goes beyond their physical builds. Both vehicles provide advanced systems designed to help prevent accidents from occurring, resulting in greater peace of mind for everyone on board.
Toyota Safety Sense™ P and Ford Co-Pilot360™ come standard in their respective models. Within each suite, you’ll find the following driver-assistive technologies:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert
- Automatic High Beams
The Tacoma also comes standard with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. You set a specific following distance ahead of time, and the system will maintain it, regardless of how fast or slow traffic moves.
The similar Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control of the F-150 is only available with higher trim levels.
The Tacoma and the F-150 are fairly neck and neck in their offerings. When it comes to standard safety features and the ground clearance needed for off-roading, though, the 2023 Toyota Tacoma comes out on top in this comparison from the team at Daytona Toyota .
