Picking up my TRD Sport

Also, lets get a review!

 

Looking forward to hearing your driving impressions and any second gen comparisons if you have them

 

So went out for a drive. Really like the ride. Feels like a truck yet gives you a comfortable ride. Hit some rough spots and the bounce was cushiony. Taking off is as others have stated. It's mindful of fuel economy until you want to get up and go then it's off! I did notice that it does encorporate engine braking when going downhill. You let off the gas and if it accelerates it will downshift the tranny and rpm's rise. Kinda cool! Lots of neat gadgets with the Entune. I thougot the hood stuck up on the SR5 but the Sports scoop has it beat. A little getting used to. All in all I am ecstatic about the truck and love the color.

 

There was a little red sold sticker on the rear view mirror which most salesmen ignored!

 

Looks good except for the front licence plate. Will look better without it.

 

WOW...that is a good looking truck. I am not usually a fan of red exteriors, but that one really pops. Enjoy it!

 

Glad to see you received your truck. I hope a thorough review is in order. The one for the off road is great, would like to see something similar for the sport.

 

Yea, unfortunately it's a CA requirement. The PoPo will give you a fixing ticket. Been there and done that!

 

Mine should be here in 4 to 5 weeks. Going to tell the Dealer that I don't want it being used on test drives. Couldn't give a shit if salesmen at the dealership want to let customers go for a test drive in it.

 

A lot was covered in some of the other posts. If there is anything specific you want to know I would be happy to give you my opinion. The interior is quite different than previous models. It's more modern and we'll built. Not over the top if you want to compare a luxury car. Toyota still treated it as a truck.

 

Mine had 10 miles on it when I got there. Took a test drive before I signed. I was in and out in 2 hrs. It was on E. They filled it up. 20 gals at 3.50.... 70 bucks. The dealership was excellent.

 

How are the seats and the driving position?

 

OP congrats on the 3rd Gen, and good to know you're happy with the purchase.

I wonder where are all haters now haha.

 

I was comfortable... but then again I am 5'6". Seat feels higher than my 08. Took about 30 secs to find a comfortable position. All the knobs are well placed for my size. The steering wheel adjusts up and down and forward and back.

 

Haters are about 200 yards out...in the iron sights of my 308.

 

Haha. I like that

 

Wow $3.50?!? I just paid $1.69 this evening...

 

Nice truck man.. I'm sure you will love it.. I'm waiting for my Inferno TRD Sport 4X4, any day now... I'm just worried about the CDN price...!!!!

Love yer truck..

 

Now I got to go review te encyclopedia of owners manuals that came with....
