Both the Toyota Tacoma and the Ford F-150 deliver excellent performance as fully competent pickup trucks. However, there are a few places in this category where the F-150 stands out from the Toyota Tacoma. To begin with, there's towing capability. For the 4x2 variant, the Tacoma has a towing capability of 6,500 lbs. The towing capability of the 4x4 Tacoma is 6,400 lbs. The F-150 offers even greater capability, with a towing capacity of up to 14,000 lbs., whether you are towing camping gear and toys or heavy-duty industrial equipment. Another critical performance element is the maximum payload. In the 4x2 model, you will get 1,525 lbs., and with the 4x4, you will get 1,155 pounds. The maximum payload of the Ford F-150 is a hefty 3,325 lbs.
When it comes to cab space, the F-150 has a slight advantage. The front row of the F-150 SuperCrew has 40.8 inches of headroom and 43.9 inches of legroom. There is 40.4 inches of headroom and 43.6 inches of legroom in the second row of seats for the F-150. The front row of the corresponding Tacoma four-door double-cab model has 39.7 inches of headroom and 42.9 inches of legroom. In contrast, the second row gets 38.3 inches of headroom and 32.6 inches of legroom.
