2013 Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma is Toyota's compact pickup, a body-on-frame truck that's been a favorite for decades. It handles rough roads and light trails with confidence, though the base engine feels sluggish on the highway. Inside, the cabin is comfortable for a truck, but rear-seat space is tight, especially in the access cab. Owners report strong reliability, with many praising the truck's longevity, though some mention minor issues like fuse problems and trim pieces coming loose. The PreRunner is a two-wheel-drive truck with the V6's power, so it's a good choice if you want the stronger engine but don't need four-wheel drive like the SR5 4WD. The TRD Sport Package adds a hood scoop, bilstein shocks, and a locking rear differential, which sharpens handling and gives it more off-road capability than a standard PreRunner.
