2014 Toyota Tacoma Review: Ultra Reliable Small Truck With A Strong 4WD System

Oct 8, 2022

The 2014 Toyota Tacoma lasts around 350,000 miles with only minor interior and oil consumption issues. At $14,375 to $23,600, it’s expensive, but worth it for the best compact truck on the market.

The Good

Power is great from the available V6 engine, there’s a standard touchscreen stereo system and the Tacoma excels in off-road environments.

The Bad

Interior materials are not as nice as other trucks, the suspension is stiff on bumpy roads and the engines are noisy.

Overall Rating 8/10 – 2014 is a good year for the Tacoma, perfect reliability helps it earn a high overall rating. Owner reviews praise the low ownership costs, technology, and long-lasting engines.

Reliable Toyota Tacoma prerunner.

I love the functionality, style, and most importantly, the reliability of my Toyota Tacoma. It rides well, handles well, and gets good mileage for a truck. I have the prerunner with access cab. The extra storage and jump seats are very useful. The instrument package and sound system is great.

Angela H

It is a great gas saver names for a three family passenger seat.

Love everything about it. The color is great. The size fits my family. It gets around everywhere I want to go.

Melinda P

That the car is very reliable

I love the look of my Tacoma. I also like how low maintenance it is. I dislike the cup holders and the stereo system.

Noelle B

Toyota is a great car. Toyota nows how to treat their customers well.

I love my Truck. It looks great. It gets good mileage.

Elizabeth D

2014 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder, a pretty decent car.

This car is overall a very good car to drive. So far I've had no problems with it, the only thing is that the car doesn't do the best going uphill so if you live in an area that has lots of hills to climb, I don't recommend it because the 4 cylinder isn't enough to keep a constant speed uphill. Overall though it's an awesome car and if you don't mind the extra tear on the transmission because of the uphill problem, then it's good.

Russ M

Atrac feature on the TRD off-road package is amazing while driving through sand.

Amazing performance but doesn't have any luxury features. Great truck for off road, fishing, hunting and camping. I have not had any mechanical issues since purchase. I plan to own this vehicle until it is no longer driveable. Overall I am extremely happy with the truck.

Sara N

Tacoma 4x4 off road is awesome!

It's a great truck. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle. It handles great in the snow or any kind of inclement weather. It's rugged and handles well. Spacious and drives fairly well, sometimes rides rough depending on the road. The off road package is great.

Maria A

The truck looks great with the off road tires.

Car is very reliable. There are no issues at all. We have had this car for almost 5 years. It runs well and we maintain it every time it is due for maintenance. It has great stability and runs well on gas, There are really no complaints about this car.

Trac Lights, Check engine lights, transmission

Check engine lights and trac control lights continue to come on,get below half tank of gas comes on, the transmission shifts are really rough going down hill, I complained 1st month after buying was told it was normal, hate my truck,taking it in again next week to get worked on,if wasn't paid for I would give it back

Hope R

I love the plug in that is located in the bed of the truck.

It's a good vehicle but I am having issues with the wiring and things not working, as a newer vehicle I wouldn't expect these kinds of issues.

Sat S

Our Toyota runs well in any weather too

I like my Toyota Tacoma, it runs smoothly, is realistic, reliable, performance is good as we usually go to a city for trips to get away from work and we drive 3 hours to get there, It doesn't give us any problems so far and we have been there about 7 times and the fuel works great, pump it once and it drives you from and to home. Great for small children as well. Fits everyone so well

jaysie D

Silver Toyota Tacoma 2014.

I am pretty impressed when we got the car drove from Georgia to Michigan and didn't have any problem, we have my husband's motorcycle with us and it worked great because of the cargo bed. It is a good car but we have a newborn and my husband is 6'3 so we do not have too much room now.

Lauren K

It is sturdy, reliable, and a good truck.

The cab is a full cab and a pretty decent amount of space for a truck. I have not had any issues with the truck and I have had it for 5 years. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it is not good on gas at all. It takes a full tank to go 230 miles.

andrea t

The toyota tacoma is easy to fix, and parts aren't so complicated to find

Don't get me wrong, i love my toyota tacoma. There are indeed several things that bother me, like i'm not too fund of the interior

Joshua W

Base model single cab Toyota Tacoma (2014) white.

Like new, pristine condition single cab 2014 Toyota Tacoma purchased may of 2020, built in GPS navigation system, comes with camper for the truck bed. Brand new tires, upholstery is clean and also smells clean, manual window control and top notch air conditioning. Great with gas.

Jason M

The Toyota prerunner looks fantastic!

The truck has very good reliability and the exterior aesthetics is great. V6 engine has plenty of power. The main problem is it is a very small interior and not very comfortable. Also the steering column does not feel very stable and shakes. The bed has generous space. Overall very happy with the truck.

What Do Critics Say About the Toyota Tacoma?

Consumer Reports says the Tacoma excels at hauling and off-road use with high owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Tacoma a 4.4/5 praising the standard touchscreen stereo but doesn’t like the soft brakes.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Tacoma 4.7/5 enjoying the excellent off-road capabilities while owners don’t like the bumpy suspension.

What Common Problems Does the 2014 Toyota Tacoma Have?

Common problems found on the 2014 Toyota Tacoma include worn-out cloth seats, excessive oil consumption, as well as broken transmission sensors. Overall, these problems are minor compared to other trucks with lower repair costs as well.

Worn-out cloth seats are a complaint from some owners at around 30,000 miles. The base cloth seats wear out quicker than in other trucks, especially on the left side of the driver’s seat, which gets extra wear. Replacing the cloth on the seat base costs about $250 to $500 depending on local labor rates.

Excessive oil consumption is another issue mentioned by some owners at roughly 40,000 miles. Toyota engines are known to use more oil than other trucks. A lot of owners simply check the oil regularly, adding oil as needed. Others have chosen to replace some gaskets for around $500.

A broken transmission sensor shows up on some Tacoma models at around 55,000 miles. Improper shifting between gears, or cruise control failing are both signs of a broken transmission sensor. Replacing the transmission sensor fixes the problem, costing around $550.

There are 4 recalls on the Tacoma, which is better than other trucks from 2014. The most serious recall only affects 3,795 trucks and covers the valve springs in the engine. Toyota will change out the valve springs for free. Other recalls include incorrect labels along with the hood scoop.

How Long Will the 2014 Toyota Tacoma Last?

A well-maintained 2014 Toyota Tacoma should last over 350,000 miles, which is much longer than other small truck competitors like the Nissan Frontier. Regular annual maintenance costs are lower than average, according to data from Repair Pal, at $479 per year.

Since nearly all used 2014 Tacoma models will have over 100.000 miles, buyers should be prepared to replace the transfer case oil seal for $425, the coolant temperature sensor costing $400, and the hood latch, which costs around $120.

Vickie P

It is very reliable no issues at all it had a recall but not mine it was the Tacoma overseas. It rides smooth the front seats are comfy the rear jump seats not so comfy on a long drive.

R C

No is working very good and I do not usually change the oil that much is not a new car but works a lot better than other cars.

Janice S

In the 1.5 years that I've had the Toyota Tacoma, it has not had any problems. It's been very reliable! Although, I do take good care of my car and I haven't crashed it or had any issues like that.

Cleo E

I've never had a problem with my Tacoma. It works well and I make sure it receives the best of care.

Lindsay H

No, problems at all. It is reliable I drive long distance and it doesn't give me any trouble personally

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is great in the 2014 Tacoma compared to other trucks with a standard 6.1-inch touchscreen stereo system along with Bluetooth connectivity. Safety technology is average, there’s an optional rearview camera.

Is the 2014 Toyota Tacoma a Good Value?

Yes, the 2014 Tacoma is a great value since it’s so dependable. Blue book prices range from $14,375 to $23,600, making it similar in price to the Honda Ridgeline or Nissan Frontier. When new, the price range was $19,025 to $28,385. Depreciation is better than average, only losing about 5% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Toyota Tacoma?

What Engines Come In the Toyota Tacoma?

The base engine is a weak 2.7L 4-cylinder which makes 159 horsepower while getting up to 23 MPG.
An available upgrade is the stronger 4.0L V6, which generates 236 horsepower while getting up to 19 MPG. Performance is good, taking 7.7 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH. The towing capacity is also better than average at up to 6,500 pounds.

What Colors Does the Toyota Tacoma Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Toyota Tacoma?

The cabin in the 2014 Toyota Tacoma not as comfortable as in larger trucks. There are three cabin configurations including a 2-door regular cab, 4-door extended cab, as well as the larger 4-door Crew Cab. Seating is decent, offering good support, but the entry-level cloth wears down quickly.

Passenger room is worse than other small trucks with limited legroom in the backseats, even in the 4-door Crew Cab model.

How Much Storage Space Does the Toyota Tacoma Have?

There are two bed lengths offered on the 2014 Toyota Tacoma including a 5-foot short bed as well as a longer 6-foot-1-inch bed.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The second generation of the Toyota Tacoma was launched in 2005, and replaced by the third generation in 2016.

2012: Minor exterior styling updates along with a new stereo system.

2013: New luxurious limited package added.

2014: X-Runner model discontinued, upgraded stereo system.

2015: Regular cab discontinued, TRD Pro package added.

2016: Fully redesigned for the third generation with new interior, exterior, and technology.

2017: TRD Pro model added, power sliding rear window.

2018: Standard Toyota Safety Sense technology, manual transmission discontinued for 4-cylinder engine.

How Does the Toyota Tacoma Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Tacoma is the best compact truck available from 2014. A combination of extremely reliable engines, great off road capabilities, and good technology make it a great choice for shoppers.

The Nissan Frontier is another small truck which is about $2,500 cheaper. Passenger room is a bit better in the backseats of the Nissan Frontier, whereas the Toyota Tacoma has a more powerful engine. We recommend the Toyota Tacoma since they have better long-term reliability ratings.

The Honda Ridgeline is another competitor, which costs around $6,000 more. Where the Honda Ridgeline stands out is with a more comfortable car-like driving experience, however, the Toyota Tacoma does better off-road. We recommend the Toyota Tacoma since it’s a more capable truck, while the Honda Ridgeline is more like an SUV with a bed.

You get what you pay for and with this truck that is a good thing.

Toyota is a very reliable vehicle. I enjoy driving it, and it has a great warranty. They tend to hold value and last a long time. A little more on the expensive side, but I find it to be worth it in the long run. This is my second Toyota I have owned and have been happy both times.

Branton M on May 19, 2021

My dream car: the Toyota Tacoma.

It has no problems, and drives flawlessly. It is even pretty decent on gasoline. I have only had it for about six months, and I have already put nearly 4,000 miles on it, including on some off-road track. The inside is comfortable enough to carry up to four passengers and plenty of cargo in the cab and in the bed. Perhaps my favorite feature is the extra hidden storage compartments.

Cody C on May 9, 2021

2014 white Toyota Tacoma!

The truck is very reliable and holds its value for a long time. This is my second Tacoma and I love them. The only problem I have had in either one is the air conditioning going out at 74,000 miles. It was a simple fix. Other than that, I have never had any problems at all.

lyn B on April 24, 2021

Being a truck it can be used for anything.

My Toyota Tacoma is the perfect vehicle for me. Can be used by one person or a whole family very comfortably. Also being a truck adds a lot of extra uses. Always use it to transport different types of furniture and even wood to burn in the fireplace or wood burning stove.

Jason M on April 17, 2021

The Toyota prerunner looks fantastic!

Britt S on April 12, 2021

Toyota Tacoma is the complete package.

The Tacoma is the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It is extremely reliable and very comfortable. The only downside is the inside is not as spacious as I would like, however, there are a ton of storage compartments which adds a great feature to the truck. The model I own has a touch screen dashboard.

Melinda P on April 4, 2021

That the car is very reliable

I love the look of my Tacoma. I also like how low maintenance it is. I dislike the cup holders and the stereo system.

Karen B on March 15, 2021

My Toyota Tacoma Truck and some of the reasons I like it.

I have had no problems with my truck. It has get pick up, to me doesn't drive like a truck. Plenty of room. We have. Double cap.

Daniel K on March 11, 2021

Things I do not like about my Toyota.

I do not like that my Tacoma is an automatic and it is only a regular cab truck. I do not like the setup on Toyota headlights either because everyone that has a Toyota, other cars coming towards you in the other lane usually think you have your lights on bright even when you do not.

Jesse D on March 9, 2021

Toyota is the best car brand ever.

Toyota is on the best car brands there is. They are the most reliable cars in the industry. If you take care of it will last a very long time. They are really comfortable and nice on the inside as well as on the outside. They also get good fuel mileage do not have to be filled up as much.

Ang B on March 9, 2021

It's awesome. Bought brand new.great for snow. Back up cam.

4x4 for tons of snow. Sport model. Love color. Runs great.

Liam R on March 2, 2021

It'll go anywhere, do anything, and look great doing it!

It was a dream of mine since the Tacoma first came out decades ago to own one. Now I do, and I'm incredibly in love with my truck. The ONLY complaint I have about this truck is that it doesn't have intermittent wipers. Weird, but definitely not a deal breaker.

Casey H on February 22, 2021

Reliable, smooth, good gas mileage.

Great reliability so far. Car runs well and I have heard after 2014 Tacoma models weren't as good. I do not recommend getting black like I did because the car gets hot. In terms of sizing the truck is good looking for the size compared to other similar pickup trucks.

Katarina M on February 20, 2021

The good the bad and the ugly.

Durable reliable travel comfort but used and had tire issues. Space is good for seating and transporting luggage etc. Wait too long at dealership for servicing of vehicle. When first purchased it the salesman was in very honest he was just trying to make a sell. He has since then no longer been working.

Joel R on February 14, 2021

It's a Toyota, so it will never die!

I like the fact that it's a compact truck with a manual transmission. The only two things I don't like are 1) the bed is too small, and 2) the fuel economy isn't great.

Christopher A on February 6, 2021

Designed beyond its capabilities. What it could be used for and why I need it.

I love the utility style truck bed. I use my truck for my business and the they make functioning tool swing arm that attaches to the wheel well and is so convenient and it is awesome. The smooth and comfortable ride gives me peace of mind and stress free days.

Loretta B on January 30, 2021

There are 2 things I do not like: 1. Less light. 2. Manual locking doors.

I don’t/have not had any problems with my vehicle yet. It is a very reliable and comfortable driving vehicle. I am thoroughly happy that I purchased it. The inside is not lighted very well but I will change that gradually. I also plan to put a reverse camera in it to help me see backwards when backing up.

andrea t on January 21, 2021

The toyota tacoma is easy to fix, and parts aren't so complicated to find

Don't get me wrong, i love my toyota tacoma. There are indeed several things that bother me, like i'm not too fund of the interior

dave R on January 16, 2021

If you want a truck that is a truck and not a passenger vehicle this is for you.

No problems do the usual maintenance. We actually use the truck as a truck. Our house is heated with wood and we use it to haul pallets. Live in Alaska and the four wheel drive is great on the ice (you drive on more ice up here than snow). Put a headache bar in the back to keep the pallets from going through the window.

Russ M on January 12, 2021

Atrac feature on the TRD off-road package is amazing while driving through sand.

Bebe P on December 29, 2020

My husband loves this truck!

Nice small truck with a lift, satellite radio and a rear view camera, that my husband loves! Had the plastic put on for the bed, best investment ever! However seats are not very comfortable for long rides. Has extended cab but it is not very big, mainly used for storing bags, or bikes when we travel.

Howard F on December 11, 2020

Tacoma is the full package - comfort and economy.

I have had my Tacoma for almost a year through all four seasons and it is been very reliable and comfortable to drive and use. I also have pulled a fishing boat with no problems. The economy and comfort are excellent, and I was driving a full size luxury SUV previously.

Morgan W on December 11, 2020

One thing that the Tacoma has that others don't is a 100w and 400w plug in built into the box.

My Toyota Tacoma is a very reliable pickup. It gets about 18 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the highway. Doing repairs on the pick up is very simple and affordable.

Brandon S on December 8, 2020

Very reliable and affordable. Easy maintenance

Great gas mileage, roomy and no mechanical issues. It has easy upgrades and looks great.

Nancy J on December 6, 2020

Best truck and smooth ride.

My 2014 Toyota Tacoma, runs great. It is has only 71,000 miles on it with no major issues. It is a very smooth ride. Only maintenance work has been done to it. Comes with backup camera and touch screen with navigation. It also has a very comfortable interior, and lots of room.

Sara N on November 26, 2020

Tacoma 4x4 off road is awesome!

Brady W on November 23, 2020

Baja series radio troubles.

The radio occasionally turns off when I do not want it to. This frustrates me when I am trying to listen to music. The car is a little slow but gets the job done. It is everything that I need. It is a little small but that does not bother me. The truck drives great and has a large enough bed for whatever I need.

Adam C on November 19, 2020

2014 Toyota Tacoma - great truck.

My Toyota Tacoma is a great truck for me and my family. It gets great gas mileage for a truck. The dual cab gives my kids and I plenty of space but still we have hauling capacity. The truck is fun, good looking and all around a good truck. If you are looking for a good family vehicle with good utility this is a truck for you.

Diamond K on November 1, 2020

The Toyota Tacoma and its value. Well worth the money for what you get.

The Toyota Tacoma is a reliable mid size foreign pick up truck with plenty of power if you get the six cylinder engine. The bed is big enough to carry small to medium loads to your destination with comfort and ease. Although not luxurious by any means, it is comfortable and roomy for families and stylish to arrive with pride.

Katerina M on November 1, 2020

Durable and reliable. Travel is excellent.

Constant tire issues. Toyota took good care of us. Consistent on oil changes, balance, etc. Reliable for size and travel is good and comfortable. Trucks are the best. You cannot go wrong with trucks they are durable and good for travel. Warranty to pay is a good thing.

Gordon E on October 30, 2020

My pre-runner and It's rightful place within the family.

My Tacoma is the very best pick up I have ever owned thus far. Its reliability is without question, all the features are exceptional, and it upholds its value better than any other vehicle in its class. Toyota has not changed the design of the Tacoma's chassis since the early 90's. What does that tell you? I plan on passing my truck to my son in the next couple of years and I feel confident in all of its safety features to keep my boy safe on the road.

Micheal R on October 26, 2020

4 wheel heaven - with a trd package!

This is the first truck I have ever owned. I got lucky with this truck. It is only had 1 owner before me who only drove it for pleasure. So, it has low miles. Plus, he put an entirely brand new 4-wheel drive package on the truck. It is sharp inside and outside. It is fun to drive, especially when I go 4 wheeling.

Sadie S on October 24, 2020

Has 2 front seats and two small back seats that can go up or dow.

It has a decent turning radius, is easy to control while still having trunk space. The space in the back seats in limited however. The seat does not have a setting to get high enough which makes vision hard but there are very few blind spots on the truck.

Justin V on October 17, 2020

It's very reliable and has been virtually maintenance free for four years.

Kyle H on October 11, 2020

Tacoma good. Need more vroom. More windshield wipes.

I love it overall. It drives well and is very reliable. I wish I had bought one with a larger engine because it does not do well on hills or have great acceleration. The other issue I have is one that is small but drives me crazy. The windshield wiper settings on it are not good at all. There are only a couple of settings and none of them are slower settings. But aside from those two issues I really enjoy my Tacoma.

Danny K on October 7, 2020

The Toyota Tacoma experience.

My Toyota Tacoma gets great gas mileage and drives good. It also has a decent sized bed for being a compact truck. It even drives good in the snow. It just does not stop fast if a deer runs out in the road in front of you because the back of the truck is too light.

Kailee M on September 28, 2020

Great look. Perfect size. Perfect vehicle for me.

I bought my truck brand new in 2013. It is been one of the best investments I have ever made. It is the perfect size truck for me. Not too big or too small. It has the capacity to tow small travel trailers and/or a boat if needed. I love the look of the truck, always have. To be honest it is my dream vehicle and I think I will always own a Tacoma from here on out. The only thing that I would say needs work is the way it drives. It can be quite bumpy as a passenger. While I am driving it I do not notice a thing.

Noel M on September 27, 2020

It takes me from point A to point B and has good gas mileage.

The exterior looks awesome. The engine is weak and the entertainment center could be better.

Chris L on September 14, 2020

It's a great truck and wish I made the decision earlier.

I like that it's newer and has a backup camera. Also that It's a truck since I didn't have that before. It will also keep Its value better than my old vehicle.

Juan M on September 8, 2020

Fun, powerful, and efficient truck for all your needs.

It's got great gas mileage and stowage. It's powerful but compact. My wife likes to drive it too.

Alex H on August 31, 2020

Toyota Tacoma is incredibly reliable.

Super reliable, lasts a long time. I have only had a couple problems with it but it is easy fixes and cheap to fix as well. Gets the job done. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone thinking about buying it. The overall look is very nice. Very comfortable on the inside. There’s a place for an aux cord and charger and also Bluetooth.

Brady T on August 28, 2020

Get this truck, you will not be sorry you did.

This has been an amazing truck. Just turned 100,000 miles and have never had any issues. It drives and handles like a sedan. I got the sport model because it has larger tires and a smoother highway ride than the off road version. I also had the dealer install a topper on the back which is amazing. Looks great.

Lynn M on August 22, 2020

Runs like a champ and is absolutely beautiful to look at!

I love everything about it! I love the look, the gas mileage, the dependability the low maintenance. I plan on having this vehicle for a long, long time!

rick j on August 21, 2020

Performance of vehicle. Overall value of vehicle. How vehicle handles. Going places.

Quality of vehicle. Ruggedness of vehicle. Performance of vehicle.

Emily C on August 20, 2020

I would totally buy this truck again!

I bought a 2014 Toyota Tacoma and I am in love it gets great gas mileage. And has the perfects amount of off-roading that my family needs.

Lauren W on August 17, 2020

It has a big gas tank and uses a lot of gas

It is a very very durable truck. It never has any issues but it does take a lot of gas

Karen M on August 12, 2020

Reliability of the Toyota brand.

My Tacoma is reliable so far. It is get good gas mileage as far as pickups go. We shopped for a long time and where happy with the features that it offered. The price was more than other small pickups in its class. We have had Toyota’s in the past and we're happy with the reliability of this brand.

Carlton H on August 10, 2020

Reliable Toyota Tacoma prerunner.

Wells B on August 7, 2020

Absolutely love my Toyota Tacoma!

I love my Toyota Tacoma. I have had it for 6 years now and it still drives like new. I have not had to do any major repairs or undue work. The only thing that I think I could criticize it for is it is ability to connect through Bluetooth. It just seems 'glitchy' from time to time, losing the connection or taking an annoyingly long time for the device to register.

Toyota Tacoma review 2014.

Sometimes my truck engine lights will come on but I have had it checked & no issues, the oil light will come on as well, but still no issues whatsoever, the tires seem to go fast, I believe I am on my second set in less than 1 year. Traction is not the greatest either.
