        How this compares

        2020 Toyota Tacoma87
        Median 2020 model here (32 vehicles)353
        Median 2020 pickup here (5)622

        87 complaints is 4.1 times fewer than the median 2020 model on this site and 7.1 times fewer than the median 2020 pickup. Among the 12 Tacoma model years here it ranks 8th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.

        21 complaints came in 2020, 21.0 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
