Sell-or-hold analysis
The all-new fourth-generation Tacoma launched for MY2024-MY2025 with a turbo-four hybrid drivetrain — a major shift from the 3.5L V6 that defined the third-gen. That transition has split the Tacoma buyer pool. Our 60-day band below shows where the 3rd-gen SR5 sits within that split.
Tacoma 3rd-gen V6 SR5 examples have held value materially better than typical end-of-generation pickups because the buyer preference for the V6 is durable. Don't expect typical 8-12% end-of-gen compression on this truck — closer to 3-5% is the realistic baseline.

Depends on your priorities: 3rd-gen V6 SR5 is cheaper, simpler, proven reliability. 4th-gen is more refined, more fuel-efficient, but unproven at high mileage. For long-ownership the 3rd-gen V6 has the stronger residual case; for newer-truck preference 4th-gen wins.
TRD Off-Road trades 8-12% above SR5 at matched mileage because the off-road package (locking diff, multi-terrain select, Crawl Control) has real value to enthusiast buyers. SR5 is the value play; TRD Off-Road is the residual play.
Toyota body-on-frame trucks with the 2GR-FKS V6 have historically been the strongest reliability bets in the segment past 150,000 miles. SR5 at this generation specifically has the cleanest residual case for buyers who plan 8+ years of ownership.
The next step is a 30–60 day market-risk review of five vehicles, read alongside the valuation tools you already use.
