The 2023 Toyota Tacoma
The 2023 Toyota Tacoma.
  • The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is one of the last in this generation of the mid-size pickup truck.
  • We drove one from the top-of-the-line TRD Pro trim, and it came to $52,188 after options and fees.
  • The Tacoma wasn't perfect, but it charmed us anyway.

The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is one of the last of its kind. The current generation of the truck, which debuted in 2015, is on the way out, and a new one — likely with powertrain upgrades, more modern components, and a nicer interior — will soon take its place. 

But I've always had a soft spot for the current Tacoma. After driving one for a week, I understand why.
