How much does the 2022 Toyota Tacoma cost?

Prices have softened 3.23% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

If you find a listing below $32,062.58, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Toyota Tacoma earns 4.36/5 from owners and 7.5/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its reliability, fuel economy, and off-road capability. They also point to good resale value and strong performance in rough terrain.

The trade-offs are familiar: the base engine is underpowered, the technology can feel lacking, and some shoppers mention cramped seating.

For you, that means the Tacoma makes the most sense if you want a smaller pickup for camping, hauling gear, or weekend projects rather than maximum comfort or refinement. Even so, 27.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma reliable?

Owners rate it 4.36/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as reliable, durable, and a truck you can count on over the long haul.

Our experts also call it supremely trusty and durable, with a build that suits hard use and active lifestyles. The Tacoma’s reputation for long-term dependability is a major reason it keeps drawing buyers.

That said, used buyers should still watch for wear from trail use, towing, and rough-road driving, since those are the conditions this truck is often asked to handle.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Toyota Tacoma?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if it looks clean on the surface. A pre-purchase inspection matters here because the Tacoma is often used for towing, off-roading, and other hard-duty tasks. Focus on signs of suspension wear, underbody damage, and interior condition, especially if the truck has seen trail or work use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SR starts with a 7-inch touchscreen, manual seats, air conditioning, and Toyota Safety Sense, while higher trims add features like fog lights, an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, leather upholstery, navigation, heated front seats, and a power moonroof. The base trim leaves out several comfort and convenience upgrades.
• Powertrain: The base 2.7-liter four-cylinder makes 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 3.5-liter V6 makes 278 hp and 265 lb-ft. The V6 is the better choice for capability, and the TRD models can be had with a six-speed manual transmission.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors are optional.
• Infotainment: The base truck uses a 7-inch touchscreen, while every trim but the SR gets an 8-inch screen. The system supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, and the interface is described as easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.7-liter four-cylinder with RWD returns 20 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The V6 with RWD returns 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. With 4WD, the four-cylinder returns 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined, while the V6 returns 18 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The V6 with the manual transmission and 4WD returns 17 mpg city, 21 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2022 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 6 trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, and TRD Pro.

Here's the short version:

• SR: This is the value starting point if you want the Tacoma’s core capability and standard Toyota Safety Sense without paying for extras. It gives you the basics, but you’ll miss out on the more polished infotainment and comfort upgrades found higher up.
• SR5: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an 8-inch touchscreen. If you want a more livable daily driver without jumping too far in price, this is the trim to target.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a TRD-tuned sport suspension, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. It suits you if you want a more equipped Tacoma with a sportier feel.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the trim to choose if trail use matters most. It adds all-terrain tires, Bilstein shocks, a locking rear differential, and trail-focused capability that makes it the most obvious pick for off-pavement buyers.
• Limited: This is the comfort-focused choice, with leather upholstery, JBL audio, navigation, heated front seats, and a power moonroof. It makes sense if you want the most road-friendly and upscale Tacoma.
• TRD Pro: This is the top-end off-road model, with unique styling, skid plates, LED fog lights, a TRD-tuned suspension, and a TRD sport exhaust. Choose it if you want the most capable and most distinctive Tacoma.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard on the Tacoma, while blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors remain optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Toyota Tacoma?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting huge discounts everywhere.

• Deal availability: 27.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,394 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.23% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,062.58, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $33,446 sits slightly below last year's $34,561.

That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also suggests the market has already adjusted downward from a year ago. If you plan to sell later, the Tacoma’s pricing history shows that demand remains steady enough to support value, even if the current market is a bit cooler.

Strong owner satisfaction also helps here, because shoppers tend to keep coming back to models with a loyal following. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.36/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma safe?

The 2022 Toyota Tacoma earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in side crash tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors are optional.

One caveat is the grainy backup camera image, so you should be extra careful when reversing.

Should I buy a 2022 Toyota Tacoma or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 27.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.23% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.36/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It balances modern safety tech with strong off-road ability for camping and weekend projects.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $32,441, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,446 average.
• It offers more trim variety and special editions.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $36,595, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,446 average.
• It leans harder into reliability and off-road appeal.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the right default if you want a Tacoma with strong owner satisfaction, solid safety, and enough inventory to shop selectively. If price is your top priority, the 2021 is the better value play; if you’re willing to pay more for a newer model-year alternative, the 2023 is the next step up.
