How it scores for you10 scores
A capable, value-holding midsize truck built to tow 6,500 lbs, though its thirsty running costs and early turbo/hybrid powertrain complaints temper the appeal.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 7 recalls were serious. About 5% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 44% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Five seats with four doors in crew cab; adequate front room. Rear seat space is tight relative to full-size trucks but typical for midsize.
New turbo 2.4L makes 278 hp, more capable than prior Tacoma. Available manual and off-road TRD trims add engagement, but truck body and firm ride cap outright fun versus cars.
4th gen adds modern touchscreen, digital gauges, and available hybrid powertrain, a big step up from the dated 3rd gen. Competitive but not class-leading in tech.
Redesigned interior and improved seats over old model, but midsize trucks still deliver a stiff, utilitarian ride. Roughly segment-typical.
Trucks have historically held their value best.
Rated to tow 6,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
