Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Maverick offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Toyota Tacoma, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Maverick will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Tacoma.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Maverick is much slimmer than the Toyota Tacoma, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford Maverick, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Tacoma.

Handling
The Ford Maverick has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Toyota Tacoma, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota Tacoma is clearly the choice over the Ford Maverick for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Maverick has a little less horsepower than the Toyota Tacoma.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford Maverick doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Toyota Tacoma.

Utility
You'll be able to bring along a larger crew with the Ford Maverick than the Toyota Tacoma, due to its significantly greater seating capacity.
