When it comes to your pickup truck, there’s no negotiation that you need tough performance and ultimate capability. While both are equipped with tough 3.5L V6 engines, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma Limited offers similar horsepower, more torque, and better fuel efficiency than the 2016 Ford F-150 XL to drivers in and around St. Louis, MO.

The Toyota Tacoma is now capable of towing 6,800 lbs. That’s an increase of over 300 lbs. from previous models and indicates the improvements that engineers have made in design and weight distribution. The Ford F-150 can’t boast similar gains over earlier model years. The V6 Tow Package available on the 2016 Toyota Tacoma includes a Class-IV towing receiver hitch and Trailer-Sway Control (TSC) to help you get the job done.
