    I have an 06, and im not big on off roading. Not having traction control sucks, it rains a lot in new orleans. So i skid and end up spinning my tires A LOT.

    '06. No motor mount issues but the Canadian rigs are a bit different. No traction control, but I learned to drive before ABS and ATRAC. In other words...

    I LEARNED TO DRIVE!

    As far as the OR are concerned a 2009+ is the ideal situation for 2 reasons:

    1. 2009 OR tacomas gained ATRAC...which IMO is better to have than to not have...If at the very least it will help resale value

    2. 2009 model year gained the toyota star safety system w/ multiple safety features including side airbags. This is ideal because it can potentially lower your insurance rates and it once again can help your resale value....and it's safer!

    2008 and no problems here!

    I wish I had the AUX port, side airbags, and auto limited slip though of the 09s...

    I hate using an FM transmitter.
