What changed on the 2025 Toyota Tacoma
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says changes are minor for the Tacoma's second year on sale and include front tow hooks on all models and an upgrade to the available auxiliary switches, which can now handle 95 amps. It also says the Tacoma has earned a spot on its Editors' Choice list for 2025. The lineup on this site's EPA data is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder in rear-drive, part-time 4WD and full-time 4WD forms, rated 20 to 23 mpg combined.
Recalls and complaints on the 2025 Tacoma
NHTSA lists five recalls, and Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) confirms the model year has been recalled five times. 25V058 covers 2024 to 2025 4WD Tacomas whose rear brake hoses can be damaged if mud and dirt builds up inside the rear wheels, causing a brake fluid leak. 25V656 covers 2025 Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrid models where the front driveshaft CV joint may deform and break, which can impair steering and, on full-time 4WD models, allow rollaway when parked without the parking brake. 26V514 covers 2024 to 2025 Tacomas where the metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail, so the external oil reservoir can detach. 25V595 concerns the instrument cluster across several Toyota models and 26V179 a label correction. These are physical fixes, so confirm on the VIN that the three mechanical recalls were done.
NHTSA holds 98 owner complaints on the 2025 Tacoma. Structure leads with 39, followed by power train 20, steering 10, suspension 9, unclassified 8 and electrical system 5. ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) counts 96 complaints and quotes an owner reporting a steering and suspension defect and unequal wheelbase after a dealer said the repair was completed. Consumer Reports rates the 2025 Tacoma more reliable than other cars from the same model year.
What a 2025 Tacoma costs
Kelley Blue Book's base prices on this site's data start at $33,085 for the SR and run up through the SR5 and higher trims. CarBuzz (opens in a new tab) lists the SR XtraCab 6-foot bed automatic at a $34,790 MSRP and the SR Double Cab 5-foot bed manual at $36,990, and finds an average used price of $26,163 based on only four listings, too few to be a market price yet.
On running cost, the Tacoma's 20 to 23 mpg combined and $2,700 to $3,100 a year on fueleconomy.gov (opens in a new tab) compares with 17 to 23 mpg ($2,700 to $3,650) for the 2025 Ford Ranger and 16 to 20 mpg ($3,100 to $3,900) for the Chevrolet Colorado, so the Tacoma is the most efficient of the three midsize pickups.
