How much does the 2024 Toyota Tacoma cost?

Prices have softened 2.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 8,894 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $37,881.98, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma a good car?

Yes — the 4.75/5 user rating and 7.83/10 expert rating both point to a strong overall package. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

The Tacoma’s appeal is rooted in its rugged build, improved technology, and broad usefulness for both daily driving and off-road adventures. The latest generation also brings a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, a more modern cabin, and standard advanced driver-assistance tech.

The trade-offs are real: the cabin can be noisy, the interior still leans functional even in higher trims, and manual-adjust seats can be cumbersome. If you want a midsize truck that prioritizes capability and utility over plushness, this year’s Tacoma fits that brief well.

34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there’s meaningful room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Tacoma’s reputation for reliability is reinforced by its rugged construction and Toyota’s emphasis on durability. The expert review also highlights its strong off-road capability and the brand’s long-standing reputation for longevity.

The turbocharged powertrain is described as smooth in normal driving, with the automatic transmission working well and shifts feeling appropriately timed. Toyota also notes that the new steering system helps address the vagueness of the outgoing model.

Toyota’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps soften early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about core dependability and more about finding a truck that hasn’t been worn hard or modified heavily.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Toyota Tacoma?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Even so, you should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at a truck that may have seen towing, off-road use, or heavy commuting. Focus on cabin condition, seat operation, and signs of hard use, since the interior is described as more functional than luxurious.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SR uses 17-inch steel wheels, while most trims move to 17-inch alloy wheels and TRD Sport and Limited get 18-inch alloys. The base trim also lacks the standard blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert unless it is added as part of a package.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque on most trims, while the base SR is tuned to 228 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are both available, and the eight-speed automatic is the main transmission, with a six-speed manual also offered.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard and includes Lane Tracing Assist, lane-departure alert with steering assist, Proactive Driving Assist, road-sign assist, and an emergency stop system. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on all but the base trim.
• Infotainment: The standard touchscreen is 8 inches, while higher trims get a 14-inch center display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and an optional JBL sound system and wireless charging pad are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The least-efficient version is expected to get 20 mpg combined, with 21 mpg combined for 4WD and the automatic, and up to 23 mpg combined with FWD.

Which 2024 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 6 trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD Pre-Runner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The SR is the most stripped-down version, with 17-inch steel wheels and no standard blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Sweet-spot trim: The TRD Sport is a strong value if you want a more polished setup, since it adds 18-inch alloy wheels and a sport-tuned suspension.
• Premium/top trim: The Limited is the most upscale gas trim, with heated and ventilated SofTex-trimmed seats and an available adaptive variable suspension.
• Off-road trim: The TRD Off-Road is the better pick if you want the more serious suspension tuning, including monotube Bilstein shocks.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the lineup, but the blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert is not standard on the base trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Toyota Tacoma?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting deep distress pricing.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 8,894 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $37,881.98, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $38,962 sits slightly below last year's $39,982.

That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also suggests the truck is still holding value reasonably well relative to its reputation. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in clean condition, you should have a solid shot at preserving value over time.

The Tacoma’s strong reputation for reliability, off-road capability, and broad appeal should continue to support demand when you eventually sell. Trucks with this kind of buyer interest tend to move well in the used market, especially when they’re well maintained.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma safe?

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard, and it now includes Lane Tracing Assist, lane-departure alert with steering assist, Proactive Driving Assist, road-sign assist, and an emergency stop system. Adaptive cruise control also gets four following-distance settings, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on all but the base trim.

The main caveat is that official crash-test ratings were not yet available in the source material. Even so, the expanded driver-assistance suite gives you a more modern safety setup than the outgoing truck had.

Should I buy a 2024 Toyota Tacoma or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 brings a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, a standard 8-inch touchscreen, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $36,813, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $38,962 average.
• It remains a dependable, off-road-capable midsize truck with broad trim choice.

The bottom line: If you want the newer truck with more power, better tech, and a more modern safety setup, the 2024 is the better all-around choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2023 remains a sensible alternative that still delivers the Tacoma’s core strengths.
