Toyota Tacoma 
Unlike the full-size Tundra, the Tacoma’s next generation has yet to show up. For 2023, look for the same 3.5-litre V6 engine that produces 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft. of torque. The only notable changes are new Solar Octane paint (available on TRD Pro models) and smart key with push-button start (SR5 models). This midsize pickup can tow up to 6,500 pounds, which is below average in the segment.
Pros
- Reliable and robust truck
- High towing capacity
- Good resale value
Cons
- Awkward driving position
- Absence of an 8-foot bed
- Not very roomy rear seats (extended cab)
