Used 2021 Toyota Tacoma for Sale near Langley, BC

How much does the 2021 Toyota Tacoma cost?

Prices have softened 5.64% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 233 listings available, which suggests you should have some room to compare prices and trims.

Is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Toyota Tacoma earns a 4.88/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 8/10.

Drivers consistently praise its value, reliability, and resale potential, and they also like its features, performance, and durability. That lines up with the Tacoma’s role as a straightforward midsize pickup that suits buyers who want a capable truck rather than a polished crossover-like experience. It also fits shoppers who want a smaller alternative to a full-size pickup for towing, hauling, and off-roading.

Only 26.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful comparison.

Is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma reliable?

Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the Tacoma as reliable, durable, and a truck they can count on, with strong long-term appeal. The expert assessment also points to Toyota’s excellent reputation for reliability and notes that the Tacoma’s combination of capability and rugged styling is hard to beat. Toyota’s three-year, 60,000 km basic warranty and five-year, 100,000 km powertrain warranty add some ownership reassurance.

For used buyers, the main risk is less about outright dependability and more about whether the truck’s rougher ride, older-feeling tech, and efficiency trade-offs suit your needs over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Toyota Tacoma?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tacoma’s trim range includes the base Access Cab, plus Double Cab versions such as SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, TRD Pro, and the Nightshade Special Edition grade. The base model is the most stripped-back, with a 7-inch touchscreen and fewer standard convenience features than higher trims, while the TRD Pro adds the most rugged hardware and the most distinctive styling.
• Powertrain: In Canada, every Tacoma uses a 3.5-litre V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive. The setup is capable, but the truck is also described as slow to accelerate and behind the curve on fuel efficiency.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. That is a solid standard suite, though the Tacoma does not match some rivals for extra driver-assistance features.
• Infotainment: The base truck gets a 7-inch touchscreen, while all other trims get an 8-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth are standard, and SiriusXM satellite radio is included on every trim except the base model. Wireless smartphone integration and over-the-air updates are not part of the described setup.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates the automatic 4WD V6 at 13.0 L/100 km in city driving, 10.5 on the highway, and 11.8 combined. With the manual, those figures rise to 13.8, 11.4, and 12.7, and TRD Off Road and TRD Pro versions are rated at 13.8/11.7/12.9. In mixed driving, the test vehicle averaged 14.0 L/100 km.

Which 2021 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 8 trim levels: Access Cab, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, TRD Pro, and Nightshade Special Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Access Cab: This is the entry point if you want the lowest starting price and a simpler truck. It makes the most sense if you care more about basic Tacoma capability than extra comfort or tech.
• SR5: This is the value-oriented step up for buyers who want a more rounded daily driver without jumping into the pricier off-road or appearance-focused trims.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a more equipped Tacoma with a stronger feature set than the lower trims, but you do not need the full off-road hardware.
• TRD Sport Premium: This suits you if you want the Sport trim’s equipment with a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for it.
• TRD Off Road: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds the locking rear differential, upgraded suspension, Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawl Control.
• TRD Off Road Premium: Pick this if you want the off-road hardware plus more comfort and convenience.
• TRD Pro: This is the most off-road-focused Tacoma, with Fox internal-bypass shocks, a 1-inch front lift, retuned rear suspension, and a front skid plate.
• Nightshade Special Edition: Choose this if styling matters most, since it adds blacked-out trim and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup, which helps keep even the lower trims well equipped on safety.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Toyota Tacoma?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 26.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 233 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.64% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $42,684 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $43,192 CAD sits slightly below last year's $45,775 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Tacoma has become a little easier to buy than it was a year ago, which can help you if you are shopping now. For a future seller, it also means the market has already adjusted somewhat, so resale gains may depend more on condition, trim, and mileage than on broad price momentum alone. The Tacoma’s strong owner satisfaction should still help support demand when you eventually list it.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma safe?

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab earns Good IIHS crash-test scores in all tests except the passenger-side small overlap front test, where it received an Acceptable score. It also earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. The Tacoma also earned the highest Superior rating for front-crash prevention tech.

One caveat is that headlight performance varies by trim, with Good and Marginal ratings depending on the version you choose.

Should I buy a 2021 Toyota Tacoma or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 26.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.64% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds two new special editions and standard dual-zone automatic climate control.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $40,351 CAD, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $43,192 CAD average.
• It focuses on capability, reliability, and off-road confidence.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $44,087 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $43,192 CAD average.
• It adds modern tech and safety while staying useful for commuting and weekend adventures.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, satisfaction, and current-market availability, the 2021 is the sensible default. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2020 is the cheaper path into Tacoma ownership, while the 2022 makes sense if you want to spend more for a slightly newer-feeling package.
