The Tacoma can run forever if you take care of it and has a high resale value when you finally are ready to part with it. With less moving parts, this truck just has less brake downs. Toyota designed the engine to keeps it cool with oil jets near the cylinders which keeps the engine going longer. There is actually an old Tacoma that is still driving around with 1.5 million miles on it. Probably more by now.
Toyota Tacoma received many high reliability ratings over the years from J. D. Power for reliability, but a few worth mentioning are the 86 out of 100 for the 2012 Tacoma, 85 out of a 100 for the 2015, and 84 out of a 100 for 2013.

Engine knock is the only problem that is worth looking at but even this was very rarely reported to make it a serious issue.

They start getting better in 2018 and 2019 model years but still linger on some trucks.
Truck Reliability Score from J. D. Power
The first one is J. D. Power predicted reliability score, from an American consumer research and a worldwide authority on consumer insights, data and analytics firm that surveys customer satisfaction and product quality, and collects hundreds of data points from them to compile a study and a report on automotive and other types of products. Founded in 1968 by James D. Power III to help focus more on customer satisfaction and help manufacturers create better products.
The trucks below are rated with a J.D. Power predicted reliability score from 1 to 100. The score of 91-100 is considered the Best, 81-90 is Great, 70-80 is Average, and 0-69 is Fair and considered below average.
Truck Reliability Rating from Consumer Reports
The second score we are looking at is the Consumer Report reliability rating. It comes from an American non-profit organization that does independent product testing and consumer-oriented research. They survey product owners and collect satisfaction, quality and reliability data from them to compile reports that help consumers make better decisions about the products they buy.
The trucks below are rated with the Consumer Reports reliability rating from 1 to 5, with 1 being the least reliable and 5 being the most reliable. With this rating scale we want the trucks that make it to at least 3.
Cost Of Maintenance & Repair From RepairPal
The third metric we are looking at is the reliability rating, and the cost of routine maintenance and repair of the truck per year. RepairPal collects data from actual shops that do the work. This data is aggregated into a report that compares a car or truck to the average cost per year as well as how many times a car or truck has been taken into the shop. This gives us a good way to compare the trucks to the average to see how they compare.
What Reliability Means To A Truck Owner
When a person buys a pickup truck, they’re often planning to put it to hard work. Reliability becomes crucial in this context. It means the truck won’t fail when they need it most, whether that’s hauling a heavy load, towing a trailer, or just getting to their destination. It’s all about reduced unexpected breakdowns and less time in the repair shop.
Reliability also spells value. A truck that holds up long-term reduces the overall cost of ownership. When a pickup truck stays efficient for many years and thousands of miles with few major repairs, it’s saving the owner money. The less cash spent on fixing up the truck, the more can go back into your pocket.
It’s not just about saving money, though. Time is a precious resource too. A reliable pickup truck won’t waste an owner’s time with frequent visits to a mechanic. This way, the truck can get back to doing what it’s supposed to do: pulling its weight and performing its job. So, in a nutshell, when we talk about reliable pickup trucks, we’re talking about dependable work partners.
How To Keep Your Truck Reliable
The fact that a truck is known for being reliable does not mean that it will stay that way on its own. It means that if you take care of it, it will take care of you better. There are things you can do to increase the dependability of your truck, with a little care and intentional planning.
Regular servicing is a proven way to ensure your truck stays reliable. This process involves taking your truck for scheduled oil changes, fluid checks, brake inspections, and tire rotations at intervals recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. These checkups enable early detection of potential problems before they escalate, increasing the longevity of your truck.
Driving habits play a significant role in maintaining reliability. Always stick to your truck’s weight capacity to avoid straining the engine or suspension. Avoid unnecessary short trips which don’t allow your engine to attain its optimal operation temperature. This helps prevent premature wear and boosts your truck’s lifespan.
Keeping your pickup truck clean should not be underestimated. Regular washing prevents build-up of corrosive substances which might damage the paint and lead to rusting. The interior should not be ignored either; a neat and clean cabin encourages more cautious and respectful usage of the truck, indirectly contributing to its reliability.
