    So I know very little has been released about 2016 MY trucks yet, but I am getting anxious and want to start planning my purchase now. I am pretty sure the below setup is what I am going to buy but I wanted to see what everyone else's opinion was on these decisions.

    - Double cab, for hauling adults around when necessary.
    - Long bed, for hauling bikes and when a short bed just won't do.
    - TRD Sport or Limited, since the TRD OR typically doesn't come in a LB, and because I like to have bells and whistles. Will have to see more information on these two before I can decide.
    - 4x4, probably won't use very often but will be nice to have when the NC weather gets rough (practically never) and for extra help pulling boat/jet skis out of water if needed. Also for resale.

    What setup is everyone else planning on getting and for what reasons? Maybe you all can help persuade me one way or the other!

    DCSB Limited w/towing & tri-fold; either that blue shown in the release pics or blue ribbon metallic. Depends on which will look better with a ton of Captain America related materials.

    I tried to delete the floor mats but the dealer orders them anyway "just in case". I ain't backing out, but whatever man.

    DCSB TRD OR towing package and other accessories as determined later. Color is still up in the air pending what they have to offer. But a dark color for sure.

    ...and we're going off the rails on a crazy train.

    In that case, demand the Copperhead V10 and tranny they put in the Viper. But Atkinson cycle, so it gets all the empeegees.

    "IF" I do buy 3rd gen it would be DCLB in MGM color and in TRD trail Teams package. Reason? Most practical for my needs.

    Waiting to see this truck in other configurations other then what shown. I'm having a real hard time liking the front end of new taco so much I may just buy a 2015 and sit with that for a few years.

    Biggest reason for buying now versus 2016 model is due to aftermarket goods. I can not leave any vehicle stock long .... Like a month at most.

    Believe it or not they do, cities with over a million, Internet and no igloos. I know it's hard to even digest lol.

    That said Ya regular roads & weather here would be considered off roading for most peeps in USA so a 4x4 is actually a "need" not a want.

    I used to live in Spokane, which we affectionately nicknamed "south Canada" when describing the climate to people who assumed it was more like Seattle. I remember those winds and that snowfall.

    Hence, I reside in Texas!

    Well...since we really don't know what packages or options we can get....

    I'll take an Access Cab Sport LIMITED fully loaded and I know I want the tri-fold cover. Other than that...I'll have to see what the options are. Fully loaded should cover it. :D

    It's interesting to note the OP's member number on most of these threads which is usually the 140k or something indicating newbie.

    None.

    I have a '13 AC base that does all I expected and has more gizmos than I needed (but I am enjoying them).

    At 5k a year, when it is 20 years old it will be just at 100k, nothing serious for these.

    If I'm still healthy and fit by then I'll likely only have another 7 years or so of driving left, but I likely won't need a second vehicle by then either.

    I see no reason to squander my fun money on a '16. Too many places still to go, too many things to see. :D
