5 reasons to buy the 2023 Toyota Tacoma
1. It's epic off-road
There's a reason why the Toyota Tacoma pickup has a legendary reputation for being amazing off-road. The 2023 model has got it where it counts, with tons of off-road tech like available Bilstein® shocks, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, as well as a cool Multi-Terrain Monitor to help you navigate the rough stuff. All that great stuff is standard on the 2023 TRD Off-Road trim level, giving you the flexibility to go anywhere.
2. Limited trim
Even the base Tacoma comes well equipped, but if you are looking for a little more comfort, whether you are off-road or on the road, check out the 2023 Tacoma Limited. It's got some rugged components under its skin, but you'll get great upgrades like real leather interior, JBL® audio system, navigation, sunroof, and more. There's no reason to sacrifice interior amenities, even while you're driving a capable off-road pickup.
3. Adventure-ready
Your new Tacoma comes with the choice of a five or 6.1-ft bed, but there's a lot more to it than just measurements. Even the base model gets a tough bed made of composite material, so you won't need to add a bed liner. There is also a standard, and quite innovative, deck rail system featuring movable bed cleats that give you the flexibility to tie down any load. You can also opt for an available bed-mounted 120V/400W outlet and an optional insulated bed storage system that can keep your drinks or bait chilled while out on a fun outdoor trek.
4. Not short on tech
Sure, it'll help you navigate muddy back roads, but it's also got a lot of technology baked in as well. A seven-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity are standard across all models. Toyota's driver aid system is also standard, including a pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic high beams headlights. There's a lot more to love about the 2023 Tacoma than meets the eye.
5. Off-road upgrades
Ok, most of the 2023 Tacoma models are impressive off-road, but you can upgrade your experience to the max with the TRD Pro. The top-spec Tacoma has it all, with all the great gear from the TRD Off-Road trim, plus a whole lot more. The off-road capability is enhanced via a lifted suspension with FOX® internal bypass shocks, TRD Pro skid plates, beefy Goodyear® All-Terrain tires, and more. For those looking to maximize the off-road fun, you can't do better than the 2023 Tacoma TRD Pro.
