What Toyota Tacoma do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Tacoma years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

The 2014 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2015, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
