The 2023 Toyota Tacoma has long been a staple in the truck world, with a reputation for reliability and excellent off-road performance.

Unfortunately, it looks like the 2023 Ford Ranger has finally managed to overtake the Tacoma, thanks to an impressive array of features.

as well as 10-speed automatic transmission, and innovative new driver assistance technologies.
