Why Does the Toyota Tacoma Hold its Value?

The Toyota Tacoma has been a leader in the midsize pickup truck segment for years. The last few iterations of the vehicle have been known for their combination of off-road power, impressive towing capacity, and cutting-edge technology features. In addition, the Toyota Tacoma has gained a reputation for holding its value well compared to its pickup truck competitors. Here are some reasons why this is the case.

Durability

It’s not uncommon for a five-year-old version of the Toyota Tacoma to look and perform like it’s brand new. The truck holds a reputation for being one of the most durable trucks on the street, and according to a study from Motor Trend, 2.9 percent of Toyota Tacoma trucks last at least 200,000 miles. In this list, the Toyota Tacoma was the only pickup truck in the top 10.

Very Few Maintenance Issues

Over its 25-plus-year run, the Toyota Tacoma has seen very few recalls. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Toyota Tacoma produces very few complaints.

Engine and Towing Power

The new Toyota truck comes standard with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, while high-end models feature a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both engines have consistently ranked among the best in their class.

Off-Road Capability

In 2015, the Toyota TRD Pro model of the Tacoma was introduced. This truck continues to be one of the most popular pre-owned Toyota models due to its array of off-road features. These include:

• Tuned front springs
• Bilstein shocks
• Floor mats
• Distinctive black wheels
• TRD shift knobs
• Front skid plates

Each year, Toyota continues to improve on the TRD Pro model, making it an ongoing hit for off-road enthusiasts. Of course, this is great news if you’re selling or trading in a Toyota truck. It’s even better news if you’re buying one, so visit Toyota Chula Vista and get behind the wheel of a new or pre-owned Toyota Tacoma. Our dealers look forward to showing it off!
