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

Owners repeatedly praise its reliability, performance, and off-road capability, and they also point to its strong resale value and sturdy build. The trade-offs are a tight interior and a cabin that can feel short on modern features compared with rivals.

That mix fits you best if you want a midsize truck that leans rugged and versatile rather than plush or cutting-edge. With 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s enough market activity to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma reliable?

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

Owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, dependability, and a truck that feels sturdy and trouble-free over time. The expert evaluation also emphasizes bullet-proof reliability and a reputation built on long-term durability.

Toyota’s maintenance messaging also helps the ownership case, with the first scheduled maintenance visit covered on the house. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that age-related wear and prior use matter more than the badge, so condition and service history deserve close attention.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a proper inspection. Prioritize the cabin, suspension, and steering feel, since this truck’s rugged setup can hide hard use. Focus on whether the truck matches the kind of driving you plan to do most.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SR trim is spartan, with fabric-and-plastic materials and fewer comfort touches than higher trims. Higher trims add more upscale materials, and the TRD Pro stands out with off-road-focused hardware and a more distinctive appearance.
• 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 delivers 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The V6 is the better choice if you want stronger acceleration and more capability.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, and automatic high beams. Some trims 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 versions include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM, but the system feels dated and does not offer the newest software.
• Fuel efficiency: The four-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is rated at 20 mpg city, 23 highway, and 21 combined. The V6 with four-wheel drive is rated at 18 mpg city, 22 highway, and 20 combined, while manual-transmission models return 17 mpg city, 21 highway, and 18 combined.

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:

• Base trim: The SR is the most stripped-down choice, with a simpler cabin and the smaller 7-inch touchscreen. It makes sense only if you want the lowest entry point and can live without the nicer materials and extra features found higher up.
• Sweet-spot trim: The SR5 is the best value for most shoppers because it adds more everyday usability without pushing you into the expensive off-road-focused trims. It also benefits from the new SX package if you want a darker appearance.
• Premium/top trim: The TRD Pro is the most compelling top-end choice if you want the Tacoma’s strongest off-road personality, with skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, and a sport exhaust. It is the trim that best matches the truck’s rugged image, but it comes at a steep price.
• Off-road trim: The TRD Off-Road is the more practical off-road pick for daily use if you want capability without going all the way to TRD Pro pricing.

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

Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma safe?

It earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, and it was not awarded a Top Safety Pick award from IIHS.

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. Some trims 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 include lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking, and its safety tech is less comprehensive than what some rivals offer.

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:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.22% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.27/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 keeps the Tacoma’s rugged trim range and proven off-road focus.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $33,592, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $36,962 average.
• It offers strong off-road capability with a familiar, rugged setup.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $38,957, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $36,962 average.
• It brings a major redesign with a more advanced cabin and updated powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the proven, current-generation Tacoma with strong market availability, the 2023 is the safer buy. If price matters most, the 2022 gives you a lower entry point. If you want the biggest leap in tech and design, it makes sense to stretch to the 2024.
