2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tacoma
2021 Ford F-150 Overview
The Ford F-150 is the most popular pickup truck in America and has been for a long time. Many truck fans are understandably Ford loyalists, but consumer research demonstrates that consumers who eventually opted to purchase or lease the 2021 Ford F-150 considered other pickup trucks as well. One of those other vehicles is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma, which is rather interesting considering that the Ford is a full-size pickup whereas the Toyota is a midsize truck. That shows that overall size is not an important factor for a wide range of consumers, and that motivated the team at Jay Hatfield Ford to perform a 2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tacoma comparison with those consumers in mind.

The differences when comparing the 2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tacoma in regard to the cabs become starker when you explore the cabins. The regular F-150 can seat up to three and affords 40.8 inches of headroom and 43.9 inches of legroom. The Access Tacoma can seat up to four and affords 39.7 inches of front headroom and 42.9 inches of legroom. The front rows are close enough here that these two models are probably viable alternatives to each other from this standpoint. But be mindful that the Access cab only affords 24.6 inches of rear legroom, which means that while the rear seat is suitable for children, it is not really intended to accommodate adults. The Double seats five and is more spacious offering 32.6 inches of rear legroom. But the SuperCab—which can seat either five or six—outdoes it with 33.5 inches of rear legroom, and the SuperCrew is the undisputed king of the hill with 43.6 inches.

Tech - Ford Dealership in Sarcoxie MO
Many people presume that when it comes to the tech portion of a 2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tacoma comparison that Toyota will have an advantage, but Ford really upped its game with the introduction of this 14th F-150 generation. The Sync 4 infotainment system is standard as is an 8.0-inch touchscreen and bells and whistles like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Ford also offers advanced voice recognition, integrated navigation, a 360-degree camera and a 12.0-inch touchscreen, which is an option that Toyota does not offer.
