Best and Worst Toyota Tacoma Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 13 Toyota Tacoma model years from 2010 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 186 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2022 — 59 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2021 — 80 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2020 — 87 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2016 — 323 complaints, 4 recall campaigns
  • 2012 — 295 complaints, 7 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2010 — 294 complaints, 0 recall campaigns

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
