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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base truck is simpler than the higher trims, with a 7-inch touchscreen instead of the 8-inch unit found elsewhere, and it misses some of the extra convenience and appearance upgrades that show up on upper trims. The Nightshade Edition adds blacked-out trim and 18-inch alloy wheels, while the TRD Pro brings model-specific styling, LED fog lights, and a more aggressive off-road look.
• Powertrain: In Canada, you get a 3.5-litre V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, plus either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The part-time 4WD system includes low range and an electronic rear limited-slip differential, and the TRD models add more off-road hardware.
• 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. Headlight performance varies by trim, and some trims receive better ratings than others.
• Infotainment: The base model gets a 7-inch touchscreen, while other trims get an 8-inch screen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth are standard, and SiriusXM satellite radio is included on every trim except the base model.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates the automatic 4WD V6 at 13.0 L/100 km in the city, 10.5 on the highway, and 11.8 combined. The manual transmission rises to 13.8, 11.4, and 12.7, and TRD Off Road and Pro configurations go higher still at 13.8/11.7/12.9.

Which 2021 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 7 trim levels: Access Cab, Double 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 most affordable path into the Tacoma, and it makes sense if you want the core V6, 4WD, and work-truck utility without paying for extra equipment.
• SR5: This is the value-oriented step up if you want a more rounded daily driver while staying away from the pricier off-road and appearance packages.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a better-equipped Tacoma with a more street-focused personality and more features than the lower trims.
• TRD Sport Premium: This is for you if you want the Sport trim’s equipment with a more upscale feature set.
• 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 leans into blacked-out appearance upgrades rather than capability gains.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup, but headlight ratings vary by trim.

What is the 2021 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $43,475 CAD sits slightly below last year's $45,754 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Tacoma has become a little more accessible for buyers, which can help keep demand healthy in the near term. For a future seller, that means you may not see the same pricing strength as before, but the model’s reputation still supports used-market interest. The year’s broad appeal, rugged image, and strong owner satisfaction should help it hold value better than many rivals.

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?

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. That is a solid standard safety package for a truck, though the Tacoma does not match every rival’s available driver-assistance breadth. Headlight performance also varies by trim, with some versions rated better than others.

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

• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.98% compared with last year.

• It focuses on capability and off-road confidence while adding useful design and technology updates.

The bottom line: The 2021 is the right pick if you want the Tacoma’s rugged formula with a few fresh touches and a slightly softer market. If your priority is saving money, the 2020 is the better value path; if you want to stay a bit newer, the 2022 is the natural step up.
