Market Highlights
- The 1st Gen Tacoma Cult: In 2026, the first-generation Tacoma has ascended to legendary status among enthusiasts. Buyers value the smaller footprint, mechanical simplicity, and the 3.4L V6's reputation for bulletproof reliability, often preferring these over newer, more complex trucks.
- The One-Owner Advantage: Finding a 29-year-old Toyota truck with a single owner is increasingly rare. This history typically implies a level of consistent maintenance and pride of ownership that justifies a price premium over multi-owner examples with unknown histories.
- California Premium: Vehicles in Southern and Central California avoid the corrosive road salts found in other regions. For a Tacoma, where frame integrity is the most critical valuation factor, a rust-free California frame is the single biggest value-add for out-of-state and local buyers alike.
