Toyota Tacoma best and worst years
Each year is compared with the typical (middle) complaint count of the midsize trucks we cover from the same model year, using owner complaints filed with NHTSA. Comparing within a year is fairer than one overall ranking, because older trucks have had more time to collect complaints.
