2011 Toyota Tacoma
|
It’s a record. For the seventh year in a row the Toyota Tacoma has won Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award - more awards than any other vehicle measured by Vincentric over the seven year Vincentric award history. Of course this isn’t surprising considering the Tacoma has the lowest rate of depreciation, lowest total maintenance and repair costs, and the best fuel economy in its class, resulting in a performance that once again left its competitors far behind in 2011.
