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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim is described as spartan, while higher trims add leather upholstery, soft-touch materials, heated front seats, and more distinctive off-road hardware. The TRD Pro stands out with underbody skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, a locking rear differential, 16-inch alloy wheels, a TRD sport exhaust, and unique exterior details.
• Powertrain: In Canada, the Tacoma comes with a standard 3.5-litre V6 and standard four-wheel drive. It is not especially quick, and the off-road-oriented setup can make it wander on paved roads.
• 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, but lane-keeping assist and rear automatic emergency braking are not included.
• Infotainment: Base trims use a 7-inch touchscreen, while higher trims get an 8-inch screen. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM are included, and wireless charging is available on higher trims.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada estimates 13.0 L/100 km in city driving, 10.5 L/100 km on the highway, and 11.9 L/100 km combined. TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro versions rise slightly to 13.8/11.7/12.9 L/100 km, and the automatic TRD Pro tested here returned 14.4 L/100 km.

Which 2023 Toyota Tacoma trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is offered in 7 trim levels: base standard package, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trail Special Edition, and Nightshade Edition.

Here's the short version:

• base standard package: This is the most affordable entry point, but it is the most stripped-back version and best suited to buyers who mainly want Tacoma basics.
• SR5: This is the sensible step up if you want a more rounded daily driver without jumping into the pricier off-road trims.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a more polished appearance and a better-equipped feel for shoppers who want style without going full trail-focused.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the best-value choice for buyers who want the Tacoma’s core capability and a stronger off-road focus without paying TRD Pro money.
• Trail Special Edition: This is for shoppers who want a more distinctive, adventure-flavoured Tacoma with a specific special-edition identity.
• Nightshade Edition: This trim is the pick if you care most about appearance and want a darker, more upscale look.
• TRD Pro: This is the top choice if you want the most serious off-road hardware, including skid pads, a TRD-tuned suspension, and a locking rear differential.

The safety package is broad, but the Tacoma does not include lane-keeping assist or rear automatic emergency braking.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting deep discounts everywhere.

• Deal availability: 36.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 415 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.94% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $47,323 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 $47,761 CAD sits slightly below last year's $49,719 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Tacoma is not currently in a rising-price phase, which can help you buy with a bit more confidence if you plan to keep it for several years. For future sellers, the current trend implies less immediate upside than a year ago, but the Tacoma’s strong reputation still helps support demand.

Because the model continues to attract buyers who value durability and off-road ability, it should remain relatively easy to resell compared with less established trucks. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, 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 scored four out of a possible five stars overall from NHTSA, with five stars in side-impact tests but lower marks in frontal crash and rollover tests.

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

Toyota Safety Sense is standard and 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.

The main caveat is that the Tacoma lacks lane-keeping assist and rear automatic emergency braking, so its driver-assistance suite is not as comprehensive as some newer rivals.

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

• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.94% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong off-road ability with a rugged image and a reputation for reliability.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $43,373 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $47,761 CAD average.
• It remains a benchmark midsize truck with strong off-road ability and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $52,497 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $47,761 CAD average.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, reputation, and current-market availability, the 2023 is the primary path to consider. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2022 is the better value play, while the 2024 makes sense if you want the newer redesign and can stretch your budget.
