The best year for a used
Toyota Tacoma 4X4
depends on what factors are most important to you in a truck—and how you intend to use it.If you’re looking for a reliable midsize truck at a bargain, many 2000s models from Tacoma’s first generation have high reliability ratings. The same goes for many model years from the second generation, which spans 2005 to 2015. 2012 and 2013 have some of the highest reliability scores from J.D. Power, and 2007 and 2008 have the highest overall scores for this generation of 85/100 and 86/100, respectively.
If you’re looking for the most up-to-date tech features, the newest generation would be the way to go, but you can expect to see higher price tags, too.
