If you are looking for a midsize pickup truck that is tough as nails, you need to check out the 2023 Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma features a standard 159 horsepower inline-four engine with a six-speed auto transmission. However, if you want a more engaging ride, you can choose the 278-horsepower V6 with either a six-speed auto or manual transmission.

1. Trailer Sway Control

The powerful 3.5L V6 and available tow package on the ’23 Tacoma ensure that this midsize truck can tow up to 6,800lbs or a maximum payload of 1,685lbs. As a result, the Tacoma is ready to haul your boat, side-by-sides, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, and other toys for adventurous weekends. The best part of the Tacoma is that the available tow package includes Trailer-Sway Control (TSC).

Trailer-Sway Control works to keep you, your gear, and your family safe by applying brake pressure to individual wheels. This system also monitors and manages your engine torque to keep you in control of your trailer. TSC helps you keep squirrely trailers in line when the wind kicks up or your load shifts unexpectedly.

2. Crawl Control

Take on even the most challenging trails with the ’23 Toyota Tacoma TRD CRAWL. The TRD off-road’s crawl control is an automated system that works to modulate the truck’s throttle and brakes. The system monitors the terrain using five low-speed settings so you can focus on navigating the trails rather than how hard you are pressing the brake pedal.

3. Locking Rear Differentials

Hit the sand dunes for a day of stress-free fun with the available electronically controlled locking rear differentials on the ’23 Tacoma. These differentials work to distribute engine power evenly to the rear wheels. This ensures they move at the same speed and provides optimized traction even in knee-deep sand.

4. Multi-Terrain Monitor

In addition to its other off-road features, the ’23 Toyota Tacoma boasts an available multi-terrain monitor or MTM. This monitor allows you to view your immediate surroundings in real time using front, side, and rearview cameras. Press to engage the multi-terrain monitor and use your 8-inch navigation screen to traverse rugged and demanding terrain with ease.

5. Utility

The ’23 Toyota Tacoma features a sheet-molded composite surface cargo bed that is ultra-durable and fiber-reinforced. This incredible material has better impact strength than steel. Additionally, you will love the standard deck rail system, which comes with four heavy-duty adjustable tie-down cleats that give you the adaptability to keep all of your gear secure.
