KBB goes with the Toyota offering in this resurgent category for 2021. One of the big factors it took into consideration is reliability, something that’s near-synonymous with the Toyota brand, and with reason. But the Tacoma is more than just the bunny that keeps on ticking. KBB liked its versatility as a daily transporter and an off-road adventurer. For those who like to push the envelope in regards to the latter, there’s the ultra-rugged TRD Pro version.

What KBB liked:

- Extreme versatility
- Resale value
- Reliability
- Low maintenance costs
- More standard safety features than the competition
- Towing capacity
