October 5, 2026
Toyota sold 21,476 Tacomas in the United States in September 2026, 5.3% more than the 20,392 of September 2025 and the second-best September since the series began in 2005, behind 2018 (22,265). The gain followed the first two monthly declines since November 2025, in July (25,148, down 4.8%) and August (24,403, down 8.9%). Through September the year stands at 214,875, up 5.1% on 204,464.
214,875 is the most Tacomas sold in the first nine months of any year since 2005, ahead of 2025’s 204,464, and 2025 itself finished at 274,638, the truck’s best year by Toyota’s year-end release.
| Quarter | 2025 | 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| First quarter | 59,825 | 69,263 | +15.8% |
| Second quarter | 71,048 | 74,585 | +5.0% |
| Third quarter | 73,591 | 71,027 | -3.5% |
| January to September | 204,464 | 214,875 | +5.1% |
71,027 in the third quarter was 3.5% below 2025’s 73,591, the first year-over-year quarterly decline since the third quarter of 2024, and still the second-best third quarter in the series. July and August 2025, with May, were the three strongest months of last year. Toyota’s release gives no reason for the Tacoma’s pace in either direction.
59,763 is what the Tacoma needs from October to December to pass 2025’s 274,638. Every quarter since the start of 2025 has delivered more than that, the smallest being the first quarter of 2025 at 59,825, and the fourth quarter of 2025 came to 70,174.
Toyota’s third-quarter release counts 22,985 Tacoma Hybrids through September, 1.0% more than a year earlier, and 1,705 in September, down 27.5% from 2,353. The Tacoma accounted for 13.3% of the 1,613,844 vehicles the Toyota brand sold in the first nine months of the year.
