The story about a vehicle depreciating $5K the minute you drive it off the lot is utter nonsense and an old wive's tale.

You really won't know what you can get until you put it up for sale. It all depends on the demand in your area and the current AVG price people are paying for used tacoma's in your area. KBB are always optimistic and $29,500 will probably be hard. IMO, you shouldn't have a whole lot of trouble getting somewhere around $28K. It may take some time but this is not a well-stocked trim and someone may be looking for one, so the demand is higher than your typical Taco trim. Although it may seem triviail, the fact that the truck is black also helps as that is one of the most in-demand colors for a truck.

Just advertise it for the price you want or best resonable offer. See what kind of inquiries you get.

Also, people tend to really exaggerate what they paid for their vehicle so don't use that as an estimate. e.g. there is no way a dealer would let fully equipped DC TRD trims go for $25-$26 etc. This doesn't happen. Again, fish stories and old wive's tales. Pay attention to KBB value but also you need to know what the demand is for used trucks in your area.

If you feel that you really cannot afford to keep the truck after all, this is the best advice so far. You should advertise for what you owe, then go from there depending on the response. Better to take a hit on the price up front than ruin your credit, IMO.
