For KBB, the winner in this segment is clear. In pretty much all categories of measure, The Tacoma is tops. The product line is wide-ranging so customers can get the truck they want for their needs, the price of entry isn’t outrageous, and owners know they can expect low maintenance costs. Plus, when all is said and then, the resale value has no equal.

There’s a reason (plenty of them actually) the Tacoma has been the best-selling midsize truck in the United States for 17 straight years.

What KBB liked:

  •  Lots of options for trims, configurations, powertrains
  •  Very capable off-road trims
  •  Lots of standard tech, safety equipment
  •  Unbeatable resale value
  •  You can get as much luxury as you want
