    Traded in my 2010 Tacoma Off Road with 80,000 miles for a used 2013 Baja with 20,000 miles. Difference is amazing. I was torn between getting another off road and putting a lift with tires and rims on it vs. going to a Baja or Pro. I have had it for a week so far. Biggest difference is the suspension and the exhaust obviously. The Baja rides so much better/stiffer than the OR, it's like a tank. Exhaust is not comparable. It's just a privilege to drive this Baja compared to what I was used to. It looks badass, it sounds badass, it rides badass. People come up to me and say, "man, that's badass" Hope these pics work ok. First mods is the tonneau cover, and changed filters. Then I got to drive it in a parking garage on 6th st in Pittsburgh and duck as my antennae whipped/scrapped every 4 feet since the garage was only 6'5" in high. It was fun to finally be able to do that. Glad my roof didn't hit. (if the pics don't post correctly any help is appreciated, it's my first time posting pics)

    Went from a 2012 TRD Sport DCSB to a 2015 TRD Pro DCSB.

    I love the suspension difference.

    Are you talking about a '06 Subaru Baja, cause Toyota didn't make an '06 Tacoma Baja? They only built a limited production between 2010-2014.

    You said you had a '06 BAJA, Toyota didn't build the Tacoma Baja until 2010.
