Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Toyota Tacoma earns a 4.27/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal with some clear compromises.

The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its reliability, ruggedness, and off-road capability, and they also like its sturdy build and strong resale value. The truck’s size and versatility come through as recurring positives, especially if you want something that feels capable without being full-size.

The trade-offs are just as consistent: the cabin can feel tight, and the truck’s technology and comfort features lag behind newer rivals. That matters most if you want a daily driver that feels modern and spacious.

For shoppers who want a midsize truck that feels rugged and versatile, the Tacoma fits the brief well. The market also shows 28.7% good or great deals, so there are still some attractive listings if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma reliable?

Owners rate it 4.27/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, dependability, and a trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers saying they trust it for the long haul. The expert review also describes it as bullet-proof and emphasizes its hard-earned reputation for reliability.

That said, long-term ownership risk for used buyers is less about core durability and more about living with an older-feeling truck that may need more compromise on comfort and technology than newer alternatives.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing, off-roading, or heavy commuting. Focus on overall condition, because the Tacoma’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and how much wear it has accumulated.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the base SR trim through SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trail Special Edition. Base SR trucks are the most spartan, while higher trims add more comfort and capability; the TRD Pro stands out with underbody skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, a TRD sport exhaust, and a unique grille.
• 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. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are both offered, and the V6 is the better choice if you want stronger performance.
• 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. All Tacomas include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio, and the interface is easy to use but dated.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 20 mpg city, 23 highway, and 21 combined for the four-cylinder with rear-wheel drive, 19/22/20 with four-wheel drive, 19/24/21 for the V6 with rear-wheel drive, 18/22/20 for the V6 with four-wheel drive, and 17/21/18 with the manual transmission. The expert review also notes that fuel economy is poor overall.

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 most basic Tacoma, and it makes sense if you want the lowest entry point and can live with the sparest cabin and the smaller 7-inch touchscreen.
• SR5: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it builds on the base truck without pushing you into the pricier off-road-focused models. It also can be paired with the SR5 SX package, which adds black overfenders, black wheels, and blacked-out trim and badging.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a more dressed-up Tacoma with broader appeal than the base trims, but without going all-in on off-road hardware.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the better pick if you want more trail-focused capability without stepping up to the top trim. It suits buyers who plan to use the truck beyond pavement.
• TRD Pro: This is the enthusiast choice. It adds underbody skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, a TRD sport exhaust, and a unique grille, and it’s the trim that best matches the Tacoma’s rugged image.
• Trail Special Edition: This is for shoppers who want a distinct appearance and a more specialized take on the Tacoma’s adventure-ready character.

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

What is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $36,595 sits slightly below last year's $37,470.

That kind of price movement suggests the Tacoma is holding value reasonably well, even as the market has eased a bit. For a future seller, that means you may not see dramatic depreciation if you buy carefully and keep the truck in strong condition.

Its strong owner satisfaction also helps support demand on the used market. Buyers continue to value the Tacoma’s reputation, rugged image, and versatility, which can make it easier to resell than many rivals.

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?

It earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in side-impact tests and lower marks 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 also add blind-spot monitoring, rear- and side parking distance sensors, and a surround-view camera.

The main caveat is that the Tacoma does not offer lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking, and it was not awarded a Top Safety Pick from IIHS.

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:

• 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.34% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.27/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 keeps the Tacoma’s rugged appeal, strong reliability reputation, and off-road capability intact.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $33,446, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $36,595 average.
• It offers easy-to-use technology and strong off-road ability.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $38,801, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $36,595 average.
• It brings a ground-up redesign with standard advanced driver-assistance tech.

The bottom line: If you want the familiar Tacoma formula and a broad used-car selection, the 2023 is the safer middle ground. If price matters most, the 2022 is the value play. If you want the newest redesign and can spend more, the 2024 is the upgrade path.
