Toyota’s newly redesigned 2025 Tacoma is proving to be an absolute game-changer! Sales of the mid-size pickup truck have surged 188.2% in March, reaching an impressive 23,949 units sold. The Tacoma’s momentum didn’t stop there—Q1 sales skyrocketed 177.5%, making it one of Toyota’s top three best-selling vehicles in the U.S. last month.

This means that for the first time in a while, the Tacoma outsold the iconic Toyota Corolla, which posted 21,495 units sold in March. That’s a major shift for Toyota, proving that truck buyers are flocking to the rugged 2025 Tacoma over traditional sedans.

🔥 Tacoma’s Historic Rise – What’s Driving the Surge?

Several factors are fueling the Tacoma’s record-breaking sales:

New Hybrid Powertrain – The 2025 Tacoma Hybrid offers more power and efficiency than ever before.⚡

Revamped Off-Road Features – With the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Off-Road trims, adventure seekers are loving the enhanced capabilities. 

✅ Competitive Pricing – Despite being a top-tier truck, the Tacoma’s pricing keeps it attractive compared to rivals like the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado.

On the SUV front, Toyota’s bZ4X electric SUV saw a 102.9% jump, thanks to recent price cuts. The Land Cruiser also performed well, racking up 5,860 sales in March, showing promise for the legendary nameplate’s return.
