2023 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2023 Toyota Ranger
2023 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2023 Ford Ranger
In terms of what's new this year, the Toyota Tacoma definitely comes out on top. It hits showroom floors in 2023 with two new appearance packages to customize the SR5 trim and shuffles around some features between trims to allow more features at the base level. The Ranger, on the other hand, gets nothing new this year. It's a carryover from last year's model — exactly as it was.

The Ranger, on the other hand, gets nothing new this year. It's a carryover from last year's model — exactly as it was.
Base Features
The Tacoma also wins out on base features, offering extra comfort and convenience. It comes standard with satellite radio and adaptive cruise control, both of which are optional features you'll need to pay for on the Ford Ranger. Likewise, the Tacoma boasts a 21.1-gallon fuel tank, while the Ranger has only an 18-gallon tank. This means you'll make fewer stops at the gas station on your next road trip in the Tacoma.
Engine Configuration
Both vehicles come with an I-4 engine and standard rear-wheel drive with an option for four-wheel drive. Although the Ranger tops out with more power on the base engine, it offers no upgrades, while on the Tacoma you can opt for a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that nets you 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.
In the end, the winner is clear: The 2023 Toyota Tacoma outperforms and outshines the 2023 Ford Ranger.
