Finally a honest review from an owner’s perspective. This truck will always be highly sought after for it’s simplicity and reliability and capability. No turbo, no hybrid, no plug in.

I have a 2021 TRD 6 speed manual and actually love it. 33000 miles and have not had any problems or issues.

Just purchased the last year of the 3rd Gen Taco's. Glad I got the last one before the 2024 update. All the kink problems should be gone hence its the last year. I am happy to be apart of the Taco gang !! (2023 TRD OFF-ROAD TACO)

My dad has had his 2020 tacoma for 3 years putting 110k miles on it and passed it down to me and neither of us had had any issues with it, easily one of the most reliable and well aging trucks on the market

I just came home with a brand new 2023 Tacoma TRD 4 Door 4x4 Long bed 3 days ago. This is my first brand new off the Lot truck I've ever bought. It had 8 miles on it. Man I love this truck. This things got everything and it's gonna take me a month to figure out what all these buttons and knobs do. I scooped it up because I didn't want a 2024 turbo 4 cylinder.

I’m very pleased with my 99 Tacoma 470000 and still climbing.

I bought my Tacoma (TRD Off Road double cab) new January 2019. I love this truck- very solid…I have just under 250k miles , many in 4WD. Absolutely zero issues other than routine maintenance- I have changed my oil every 4500-4900 miles (all at my dealership).
I still have not replaced the rear (drum) brakes!

2016 SR5. Just a couple hundred miles away from 100k. 7yrs of ownership, and she's never failed me. Imma keep her till the wheels fall off. The only thing that got me was the 3rd break light leak, but that was covered by a recall and if you happen to have paid for it you can get your money back.

Just purchased a used '20 Pro. I'm 5'11 and the seats are fine for me. Very happy with my purchase

I have a 2019 TRD Sport with manual transmission. I purchased this truck new and have almost 90,000 miles so far. Have had zero issues with this truck. Front brakes at 70,000 miles. Otherwise just regular maintenance. Plan on keeping this truck for a long time.

I purchased a 2023 June 2023 and this is my third one. I had a 2019 and didn’t get it undercoated and rustproofed. I got the 2019 in April 2019 and two years later, there was so much surface rust, I bought a 2021, both were TRD Sport models. I loved that truck but never really used it, so, after buying 2 different Mazdas and a Jeep Cherokee, I went back to Toyota. This one I’ll keep even though the mpg is not very good. It’s not made for towing more than 4000 pounds through the mountains and use the ECT button if towing at all times or you’ll burn the transmission. Just fyi, the only Jeeps that are true 4WD, are the Gladiator and wrangler, the others are all wheel drive, another reason I dumped my Cherokee. I looked at and rented a 2024 for one week, gave it the Mercedes Benz challenge and it didn’t do so well. Toyota ate it by putting a 4 banger turbo in. Most people start the truck and go not giving the turbo the needed time, same as shut down, park, key off, that’s that. These will start to hit the service departments on a hook after 12-14 months of everyday driving. The Tundra’s are already stacking up in the service lane. Anyway, if you can grab a new 23 still, I’d get it, cuz these 24’s well, they suck!!

Tacoma is the best midsize pickup truck in the world I loved

I traded in my old Nissan Frontier in 2016 for my Tacoma TRD. Best decision going to Toyota I've ever made. In all these years I've only had to do regularly scheduled routine maintenance, and the biggest out of pocket expense was buying a new battery after 6 years, and new tires. Gas mileage is great, between 19 - 23 MPG consistently and 3 factory recalls, one a probable loose bolt in the rear differential, frame needed to be recoated and the biggest one was when ONE owner complained his Tacoma would "leak" in the rain. They determined it was a defect in the gasket for the third brake light. The recall was that they completely removed my interior, even though I had NO LEAKS, replaced the third light gasket then completely cleaned, and disinfected the interior, and put it all back together like it was never disassembled!

Tacoma's are nice but my late 1980's Toyota truck works just fine, simple, easy to work on and reliable!

The prices on the 3rd Gen TRD’s & Sports are thru the roof right now. I love my ‘23 model w/ 6’ bed.

2023 TRD off-road, Leather, Snugtop cab, custom 1200 W audio installation, Diode Dynamics and Morimoto LED lighting upgrades, Stage 1 tuning, it never ends! Luv this beast ❤

2016 2.7 SR5 access cab long bed here with 131k miles, i love the damn thing.

We have one in my family
And yes the Offraod version is worth every Penny extra. Better wheel, tires, suspension, and lighting right out of the box.

I have a 2007 Tacoma SR5 with the v6 4x4 and 6 speed manual transmission. 248,000 miles. It runs just as good as the day i bought it
