Overview

Written by automotive expert Reese Counts

Updated: 5/8/2026

As a midsize pickup, the 2025 Toyota Tacoma is the smallest truck in the carmaker's lineup, slotting under the full-size Tundra. If a Tundra seems just too big or expensive, the Tacoma could very well be what you want. It's perfectly capable of hauling medium-size loads or pulling a midsize travel trailer or boat. Off-road capability is a particular focus for this latest Tacoma as well, with the TRD PreRunner, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims all being tailored to specific kinds of terrain. Alternatively, you can just use your Tacoma for cruising around town, which it's perfectly able to do as well.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

Good

6.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Toyota Tacoma on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.5/10

How does the Toyota Tacoma drive? We tested a TRD Sport with the 278-horsepower output. It's peppy enough around town and strong enough to propel the truck to 60 mph in a respectable 7.6 seconds in our testing. We also tested a TRD Pro with the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain. It was only a bit quicker to 60 mph (7.4 seconds), likely because the added weight and off-road hardware largely canceled out the extra power. In either powertrain, the transmission shifts quickly and smoothly, with no unnecessary shifting or hunting for gears on hills.

We were also impressed by the Tacoma's on-road braking performance. The pedal is responsive but engages the brakes smoothly, making it a cinch to scrub off speed accurately at any speed. Handling usually isn't much of a concern to truck buyers, but the steering is light and accurate, and the Tacoma displays good manners on the highway no matter which trim you choose.

Standard on all Tacomas is a collection of advanced driver aids that include automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, full-speed adaptive cruise control and more. We generally liked the helpful operation of the driver assist systems and found them neither overly cautious nor prone to false alarms.

Comfort

6.1/10

How comfortable is the Toyota Tacoma? The Tacoma's wide and somewhat flat front seats offer comfort for people of varying sizes. The cloth seats in our test truck felt a little coarse, especially compared with the optional synthetic leather upholstery, but should prove plenty durable in the long run. The rear seats aren't especially roomy, which is typical of the midsize truck segment, and taller passengers felt the seat cushions were too low and short for longer drives. Be aware that if you opt for the TRD Pro, its complicated and large IsoDynamic seats all but eliminate rear seat legroom.

How the Tacoma rides will depend largely on which trim level you choose. Lower trim levels like the SR feel more like how you expect a basic truck to ride — a bit stiff. Higher grades offer more advanced suspension systems that help smooth out the ride. All Tacomas benefit from clearly marked and easy-to-use climate control systems. The buttons and knobs are large enough to be operated easily while wearing gloves.

In-cabin tech

9.1/10

How’s the tech? Our test truck was equipped with the optional 14-inch touchscreen and it dominates the interior of the Tacoma. It looks a little out of place stuck atop the dash, but it packs a lot of features including wireless smartphone connectivity and helpful voice controls. The Tacoma is equipped with plenty of USB-C charge ports and offers wireless charging pads as an option. The near vertical nature of the wireless charging pads, however, raises some concerns about phones tipping over and losing their charging connection.

Storage & cargo

8.5/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Tacoma prioritizes storage and functionality. There are two cargo bed sizes and an available 400-watt household-style power outlet. Tacomas equipped with the hybrid powertrain get a boost to 2,400 watts. Inside, the Tacoma offers quite a few storage options. Front and rear doors are chock full of cubbies, as is the center console. There's a handy tray over the glovebox too.

If you opt for the XtraCab configuration, the area behind the front seats (though it's still only a two-seat truck) is filled with additional storage for larger items, making it quite practical for carrying things you'd rather not keep in the bed. In the four-door Double Cab, the rear seatbacks fold down and the seat cushions flip up to reveal additional storage.

Value

6.1/10

Is the Toyota Tacoma a good value? Toyota offers a wide range of Tacoma trims to better match various truck shopper needs and budgets. But lower-grade Tacomas make no effort to hide their lack of options, and their interiors are peppered with blank buttons and other signs of missing equipment. More basic Tacomas also lack the refinement of similarly equipped Chevy Colorados.

A midgrade (TRD Sport or TRD Off-Road) trim is the sweet spot here. You can get plenty of tech to make this a supremely usable truck without overpaying for a plasticky interior.

The Tacoma's three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper and six years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage is about average for the segment. Toyota also includes two years of free maintenance and roadside assistance.

Towing & hauling

6/10

How is the towing and hauling? Maximum payload capacity for the Tacoma is a pretty solid 1,710 pounds. Towing capacity is more average at 6,500 pounds when properly equipped — the Colorado maxes out at 7,700 pounds, for example — but the Tacoma should be able to pull most small to midsize trailers.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? No matter which Tacoma you select, fuel economy should be similar. We drove a four-wheel-drive TRD Sport, which gets a Toyota-estimated 21 mpg. We managed a slightly better 22.6 mpg on our evaluation route. Even though the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain is estimated to offer similar fuel economy, it does produce considerably more horsepower and torque than the standard engine. Of note, the Tacoma does not require premium gasoline.

X factor

7/10

In most of its trim levels, the Tacoma is designed to be more of a workhorse than it is to be particularly engaging. But there's an underrated satisfaction to a vehicle that can do so much without trouble. The Tacoma's styling proved more divisive than we expected. Some of our editors like the aggressive look of this midsize truck, while others found it a bit cartoonish and over-the-top. The capabilities of the TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims go a long way toward backing up the Tacoma's aggressive styling, but there's something to be said for a no-frills Tacoma. It's almost an American institution.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Toyota Tacoma for May

Here are some handy tips for buying a 2025 Toyota Tacoma:

You can save around 7% off the MSRP on a new Tacoma, which means savings of about $3,205 to $4,593 depending on the trim level.
The TRD Sport trim offers the highest discount at roughly 8% off MSRP, making it a standout choice for value.
Toyota offers a special APR as low as 2.99% for up to 48 months, significantly lower than the market rate, saving you money over time.
There are $500 rebates available for students, college grads, and military members, so be sure to check if you qualify.
With over 1,000 new Tacomas available, you have good chances of finding one that fits your needs. However, they stay on lots longer than the average car, potentially providing more room for negotiation.

2025 Toyota Tacoma trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup available in either a two-seat, two-door extended cab (XtraCab) with generous storage behind the seats or a five-passenger, four-door crew cab (Double Cab). The extended cab comes with a 6-foot bed, while the crew cab offers a choice of a 5- or 6-foot bed. From there, Toyota offers the Tacoma in eight trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, TRD Pro and Trailhunter. Compare the 2025 Toyota Tacoma trim levels in-depth.

Which Tacoma trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the TRD Sport. It offers a good mix of on-road comfort, off-road capability and features for a reasonable price. It's only available as a crew cab with four-wheel drive, but you can get a short or long bed and also have the option of a manual transmission.

Competitors to consider

Toyota isn't the only manufacturer that's making a big return to the midsize truck class. Its chief rivals are just as new, including the recently redesigned Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Ford Ranger. If off-roading is your goal, the Jeep Gladiator is an excellent alternative as well. Read our test team's Expert Rating to see how the Toyota Tacoma stands out in a competitive field.

Edmunds spotlight: Sized right and finally modern

Full-size trucks have gotten huge in the last decade, far exceeding what many truck shoppers need. The Tacoma scales things back to a more manageable size, making it not just easier to drive but also more economical. Meanwhile, it still has plenty of capabilities for work or play, and the engines introduced for 2024 seriously increase the Tacoma's reach. The base turbocharged four-cylinder and the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain produce significantly more power than the outdated engines from the last generation and are more fuel-efficient.

What’s it like to live with?

Our team lived with a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road for one year, driving it for 20,000 miles in the process. Since there are no major changes for 2025, it will give you a good idea of what to expect in terms of ownership; read our full One-Year Road Test page for all the details.

The Tacoma's seats were hugely supportive while being supple and comfortable at the same time. The interior felt better built than other midsize trucks, like the Chevy Colorado, and though there was still plenty of hard plastic to be found, our truck held up better than our year-long Colorado test truck over time. Plus, it was just so usable — the knobs for the temperature and volume were nice and big, there was a ton of storage for small items, and the outward visibility was the best of the bunch.

We didn't love the Tacoma's big infotainment screen, but we didn't hate it, either — we just wish it was better integrated into the cabin and that its tech suite was as good as Chevy's Google-backed system. The Taco's gauge cluster showed a ton of usable information and could be customized in dozens of different ways to suit any particular driving situation, like pitch and roll when we were off-roading.

Speaking of off-roading, when we took the Toyota off-road alongside a Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger, the Tacoma won most of the tests. Yes, $55,240 as-tested is a lot for a Tacoma, but there's almost no need to stretch for a Trailhunter or a TRD Pro model (which can reach nearly $70,000) when the TRD Off-Road feels like a top-spec truck. We don't even think you need to go with the hybrid engine because this turbo-four cylinder delivers power just fine.

So where did the Tacoma go wrong? Even though power from the turbo-four was great, the truck's fuel economy fell well short of the EPA's estimate. We only saw 18.7 mpg over the course of a year, when the EPA says we should've been getting 21 mpg. We know Toyota made the move away from the V6 for power and efficiency, but it's really only gained one of those things. Furthermore, the back seat of the Tacoma was, frankly, a joke. Anyone who sat back there was crammed in like a sardine.

Loose the back Seat!

2025 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2dr Xtracab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I had a 2024 Tacoma SR5 4x4 4-door with a 5 ft bed. I liked the truck but hated the worthless back seat and 5 ft bed. I traded for a 2025 SR5 4x4 Xtracab with a 6 ft bed. Plenty of storage and compartments in the Xtracab portion. Rear leafs are superior on washboards and hauling than the coils found on all of the other trim levels. Love the box frame and electronic rack and pinion …
