What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota Tacoma?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tacoma ranges from a spartan base trim to better-equipped versions with available leather upholstery and soft-touch materials. Base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to the feature gap if you want a more comfortable cabin.
• Powertrain: In Canada, you get the standard 3.5-litre V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, plus a six-speed automatic or available six-speed manual. It is capable, but it is not especially quick, and the truck can feel noisy at speed.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, and automatic high beams. Higher trims can add blind-spot monitoring, rear- and side parking distance sensors, and a surround-view camera, while other Toyota models get a more robust version of the suite.
• Infotainment: Base trims use a 7-inch touchscreen, while higher trims get an 8-inch unit. All Tacomas include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio, with wireless charging available on higher trims. The system is easy to use, but it feels dated.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada estimates 13.0 L/100 km city, 10.5 L/100 km highway, and 11.9 L/100 km combined. Manual-transmission models are rated at 13.8/11.4/12.7 L/100 km, while TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro versions rise slightly to 13.8/11.7/12.9 L/100 km.

Which 2023 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 6 trim levels: base standard package, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trail Special Edition.

Here's the short version:

• base standard package: This is the most affordable entry point, but it is the most stripped-back version, so you should only choose it if you are comfortable giving up some comfort and convenience features.
• SR5: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it moves you beyond the bare-bones setup without pushing you into the pricier off-road-focused models.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a more style- and road-oriented step up while staying below the hardcore off-road trims.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the better pick if you want stronger trail capability and the off-road hardware that suits more adventurous use.
• Trail Special Edition: This is for buyers who want a distinct special-edition flavour and a more personality-driven Tacoma.
• TRD Pro: This is the top choice if off-road performance is your priority, with underbody skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, a locking rear differential, and other unique hardware.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but higher trims add useful extras such as blind-spot monitoring and parking sensors.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota Tacoma?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 450 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.24% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $47,371 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma's resale value?

The current average of $48,747 CAD sits slightly below last year's $50,906 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Tacoma has softened a bit, which can create a better entry point for you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means the market is not currently pushing values upward as strongly as before, so timing and condition will matter more. Even so, the Tacoma’s reputation for reliability and strong owner satisfaction should help support demand over time.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.27/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Toyota Tacoma safe?

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma was not awarded a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it earns four-star ratings overall from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in side-impact tests and lower marks in frontal crash and rollover tests.

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

Toyota Safety Sense is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, and automatic high beams. Higher trims can add blind-spot monitoring, rear- and side parking distance sensors, and a surround-view camera. You should also note that the Tacoma does not include lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking, and the safety suite is less comprehensive than what you will find in some other Toyota models.

Should I buy a 2023 Toyota Tacoma or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.24% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.27/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It balances rugged capability with a familiar, proven Tacoma formula.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $44,087 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $48,747 CAD average.
• It suits commuters who want a smaller truck for occasional outdoor adventures.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $53,846 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $48,747 CAD average.
• It brings a ground-up redesign with a newer foundation and a more modern powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the familiar Tacoma formula and a softer used-market price than the next model year, the 2023 is the sensible middle ground. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2022 can save you money; if you want the redesign and newer hardware, the 2024 is the upgrade path.
