The Tacoma is a powerful pickup truck with two available engines, so you can personalize your driving experience. The 4Runner offers up its own impressive capabilities as well with a 270-horsepower engine.

Here are some engine highlights:

	2023 Toyota Tacoma	2023 Toyota 4Runner
Number of Engines Available	2	1
Max Horsepower	278 HP	270 HP
Max Towing	6,800 lbs.	5,000 lbs.

Heading to the worksite? Rely on 6,800 pounds of towing capacity from the Tacoma, which keeps loads extra secure with Trailer-Sway Control. And that’s not all: This truck also has a payload capacity of 1,155 pounds.

If you prefer more seating capacity to towing brawn, the 4Runner can still be a campsite hero. For one, an optional third row increases its seating capacity to seven. Plus, this SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Behind the rear row, you can fill 47.2 cubic feet of cargo volume with your sleeping bags, fishing rods, and more. Need some more room? Fold down the rear rows of seats to open 89.7 cubic feet of cargo volume.

The Tacoma and the 4Runner were built with an adventurer’s spirit in mind. Both models boast rugged off-roading features, including:

• Drive modes
• Locking rear differential
• Crawl Control

With these features equipped, you’ll feel confident exploring the great outdoors.

In the Tacoma and the 4Runner, seeing is believing with Multi-Terrain Select, a drive mode system that adapts to the terrain around you.

However, you’ll feel extra confident on the trails when in the Tacoma since it can equip a Multi-Terrain Monitor. This system features externally mounted cameras that monitor the road ahead—and the road below, and the road to the side, too. Just access it all from the center touchscreen.

The Tacoma and the 4Runner come standard with a suite of driver-assist safety features to enhance your awareness on the road. This collection of features is called Toyota Safety Sense™ P that includes:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: This feature can detect the presence of a pedestrian, and it will autonomously apply brake pressure to help avoid or mitigate a potential collision.
• Lane Departure Alert: Were you momentarily distracted by your kid in the back, and your car started to shift into another lane? This feature sends an alert right away, and if you don’t adjust the wheel, this system will return your vehicle to the center of the lane.
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This feature helps maintain a set speed and a set following distance from the car ahead. Plus, if traffic slows, your vehicle will adjust its speed, and then pick up once traffic resumes.

The Tacoma and the 4Runner can both be equipped with an available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This feature is especially helpful when merging lanes or when pulling out of a spot in a busy parking lot.

Although these Toyota vehicles are evenly matched safety-wise, the 4Runner takes a step ahead with its Rear Occupancy Alert feature. So, whether you’ve got your dog, your baby, or your adventure equipment in the back, this system will remind you of its presence before you exit the vehicle.
