Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma a good car?

The trade-offs are clear: the cabin can feel tight, and the truck’s technology is dated compared with newer rivals. In practical terms, that means the Tacoma makes the most sense if you value durability, personality, and utility more than a roomy interior or the latest features.

Good and great deals account for 31.6% of listings, so you still have room to shop selectively.

The expert summary reinforces that reputation by describing the Tacoma as having bullet-proof reliability and a reputation buyers can count on.

Toyota also frames the Tacoma as a durability-focused truck, and that matters if you plan to keep it for the long haul. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about reputation and more about finding a well-maintained example that hasn’t been worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota Tacoma?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a Tacoma because condition can vary a lot depending on how the truck was used. Focus on signs of hard use, interior wear, and whether the truck’s equipment matches the trim and price you’re paying.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tacoma ranges from the base SR trim through SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trail Special Edition. Base SR trims are the sparest, while higher trims add more comfort and capability, and the TRD Pro stands out for its off-road-focused hardware.
• Powertrain: Lower trims use a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, while the 3.5-liter V6 makes 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The V6 is the stronger choice, and four-wheel drive is available.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, and automatic high beams. Higher trims can add blind-spot monitoring, rear- and side parking distance sensors, and a surround-view camera, but lane-keeping assist and rear automatic emergency braking are not included.
• Infotainment: Base SR trims use a 7-inch touchscreen, while higher trims get an 8-inch screen. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio are included, and the interface is straightforward but dated.
• Fuel efficiency: The four-cylinder is rated at 20 mpg city, 23 highway, and 21 combined in rear-wheel-drive form, while the V6 returns 19/24/21 with rear-wheel drive and 18/22/20 with four-wheel drive. Manual-transmission models are rated at 17/21/18.

Which 2023 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 6 trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trail Special Edition.

Here's the short version:

• SR: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the Tacoma’s core durability and size without paying for extras. It’s the most basic choice, so it suits buyers who care more about utility than comfort or tech.
• SR5: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday usability without jumping into the pricier off-road models. If you want a balanced Tacoma, this is the trim to start with.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a more dressed-up Tacoma with a sportier personality than the lower trims. It’s a good fit if you like the Tacoma’s style but don’t need the most rugged hardware.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the trim to target if you want the Tacoma’s capability to be a bigger part of the ownership experience. It’s the better pick for buyers who expect to leave pavement more often.
• TRD Pro: This is the top off-road-oriented trim, and it adds underbody skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, a TRD sport exhaust, and a unique grille. Buy this only if you really want the most adventurous Tacoma character.
• Trail Special Edition: This is for shoppers who want a more specialized Tacoma setup and are drawn to the model’s rugged image. It’s a niche choice rather than the default recommendation.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard, but the Tacoma does not include lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota Tacoma?

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting deep discounts everywhere.

• Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 7,371 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.39% compared with last year.

What is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $36,395 sits slightly below last year's $37,287.

That price movement suggests the Tacoma has held value reasonably well, even as the market has eased a bit. For you as a future seller, that means the truck still benefits from strong buyer interest and a reputation that supports demand.

The year-over-year decline also gives you a useful benchmark if you’re planning to resell later. If you buy well and keep the truck in good condition, the Tacoma’s reputation should help it remain competitive in the used market.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.27/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma safe?

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma was not awarded a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it earns four-star ratings overall from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in side-impact tests and four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover tests.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, and automatic high beams. Higher trims can add blind-spot monitoring, rear- and side parking distance sensors, and a surround-view camera.

The main caveat is that the Tacoma does not include lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking, so its driver-assistance suite is less comprehensive than what you’ll find in some newer rivals.

Should I buy a 2023 Toyota Tacoma or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.39% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.27/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 keeps the Tacoma’s rugged, reliability-first formula with strong off-road appeal.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $33,411, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $36,395 average.
• It offers smaller-truck practicality with off-road ability and easy-to-use tech.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $38,620, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $36,395 average.
• It brings a full redesign, a new platform, and a more substantial reset.

The bottom line: If you want the familiar Tacoma formula and a market with decent deal availability, the 2023 is the safer buy. If your priority is lower upfront cost, the 2022 is worth a look. If you want the newest redesign and can spend more, the 2024 is the better long-term alternative.
