    After alot of time, research, test driving & deliberation: I finally got my new Yota.

    Traded my 2011 4x4 AC 2.7L 5 Speed for a 2014 TRD Baja 4x4 Auto.

    DIGGING IT BIG TIME.

    Over the past year, I have test driven:

    2013 TRD Offroad DC
    2014 TRD Sport DC
    2014 4Runner SR5
    2014 4Runner Trail w/ KDSS
    2014 4Runner Trail Premium w/ KDSS
    2014 TRD Baja Access Cab

    The truck that did it for me was the TRD Baja DC though. Hands down the best vehicle I test drove - as far as my preferences are concerned.

    A big shout out to everyone who put up with all of my questions over the past year!

    Thanks Guys!

    It's still early in the morning but I read your thread title as "Upgayed". Of course I had to see what that was all about.

    Nice looking truck:thumbsup:

    Thanks everyone!

    The trail is severely underpowered in my opinion, only because it's so heavy. Really liked it, I just like the Baja suspension better - it has a tighter feel, but that could also be attributed to the tires.

    Nothing mechanically. Just tired of driving a stick in a city that has the 2nd worst traffic in the nation. That and the seats were really uncomfortable, not enough power in the I4 and needed more in cab space.

    Haha. Thanks man!

    Alright! You see, a pimps love is much different from that of a squares, it's a fascinating world. . .

    I'll get some up in the next few days.
