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.

The Ranger's engine has best-in-class power, plus great fuel economy, s as all-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels,

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

And, unlike the Tacoma, the Ranger offers an FX4 off-road package, with larger wheels, added protection, and impressive 4x4 capabilities.

In short, the 2023 Ford Ranger has managed to outperform the 2023 Tacoma,
