2023 Honda Ridgeline vs 2023 Toyota Tacoma in Chantilly, VA
The 2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E is shown in Lunar Silver Metallic.
The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is shown above with optional features.
Trying to decide between the 2023 Honda Ridgeline and 2023 Toyota Tacoma could be challenging at first glance. Fortunately, our Honda of Chantilly team knows the ins and outs of these midsize pickup trucks. While both models are similar in design, there are specific factors that separate the two. Continue reading to learn more.
Performance
The 2023 Ridgeline and Tacoma both have a standard 3.5L V6 engine, but each vehicle cranks out different specifications. When you’re driving the Tacoma can achieve 278 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. However, the Ridgeline produces up to 280 horsepower¹ and 262 lb.-ft. of torque². While Toyota’s pickup truck has a standard 4WD, Honda equipped their version with standard AWD. Both mechanisms are reliable against unexpected conditions along Interstate 66. When it comes to gear transitions and acceleration, the Honda Ridgeline towers over the Tacoma. Honda installed a standard 9-speed automatic transmission next to the motor, while Toyota engineered a standard 6-speed automatic transmission for their model.
Exterior
One of the most unique features in the 2023 Honda Ridgeline is the double cargo door. This allows you to use two swing doors to access the truck bed. Meanwhile, the 2023 Tacoma only has the classic option. Although Toyota Tacoma has a 9.4-inch ground clearance, it has standard 16-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires. Meanwhile, the Ridgeline carries standard 18-inch components and a 7.6-inch ground clearance. Another advantage of the Honda midsize pickup truck is that it has standard LED components across several trim levels, whereas the Tacoma only has LED bulbs for specific iterations. Each vehicle also sports a 5-ft. cargo bed, which is capable of carrying over a thousand pounds along Fair County Parkway.
Technology
When it comes to technological advancements, both rides are well equipped with connective features that’ll make commuting in the Chantilly area exciting. You’ll find Apple CarPlay®³ and Android Auto™⁴ within these automobiles. First, you’ll need to find them using the touch displays at the top of the center stack. The Tacoma is engineered with a standard 7-inch device, while the Ridgeline has a standard 8-inch high-res touchscreen with various customizable elements. If you’re listening to your favorite tracks in Toyota’s ride, you’ll do so through a 6-speaker audio system, but investing in the 2023 Ridgeline provides a 7-speaker system that includes a Subwoofer.
