3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

I couldnt be happier! It shifts smoother than my 07 FJ M/T. Not as "torquey" as my FJ which makes it not as jummpy/quick of the line but has more power and acceleration at about 2500rpms. Also less torque at lower rpms makes it more bearable to drive in traffic and easier to "baby" when needed. No computer gear hunting like the automatic tranny which i think is very nice for all around control of the vehicle (offroad control, driving over mtn. passes etc.). Its alot of fun to drive! Also nice finding the sweet spots in each gear that give you best MPG readings and having complete control over that. 6th gear is good for the highway and cruises with best MPG around 65mph. I was a little bummed when i found out i couldnt have crawl control and a M/T... but who needs crawl control when are a competent driver, have a manual tranny and also are equipped with A-TRAC/rear locker! All-in-all im very happy i went with the M/T being that i love driving stick and its becoming harder and harder to find(especially in newer trucks). I just like the simplicity/reliability that a M/T offers and enjoy every minute that im behind the wheel!

 

why do some have white trim around the fender well and others , mine, have black?

 

Some,like the Off-Road, have black. Others are color matched

 

has anyone on here had your roof vinyled in gloss black? if so can you post a picture thanks

 

I'm doing it next week with the satin black that matches the black on B pillar.

I'll post pics as soon as I get the chance to put it on!

 

Thanks man, yeah I got them from the dealer. TRD Beadlock.. The ones that come on the TRD Pro.

 

I've seen a few 2nd gens on the build page that have matte black vinyl roofs. Looks good!

 

I'm not tracking? What are you talking about? Just curious. My white 2016 off road is supposed to be at the deal on 12-3

 

Chris this grill is Plasti and front bumper is vinyl?

 

Why would you do this?

 

My question also.

I could see doing all or part of the hood matte black to reduce glare. I could see going with a white roof a non-white truck to reduce heat absorption. Both of those are practical and would also look "expo". I'd consider them myself.

Keep in mind that I have no problem if the answer is just "it looks cool", I've just never seen it done and wondered if there's more to the story. (melting snow? Storm Trooper look?)

 

Not enough Access cab. Too many Mexican DBl Cabs.

 

Should get my AC in a few days. Sort of like that they are few and far between .

 

Excellent, hope you can post pics so we can see your awesome truck.

 

I will post pics as soon as I get it. Was a hard one to find. AC /TRD sport. P&T/tow. Its the P&T that was the killer.

 

Basically due to looks, not sure if there is an advantage to it but I was always a fan of the white with black roof. Pic is for the ones that don't understand what I'm talking about

Just got my white DCSB SR5 v6 4x4 Taco yesterday. Added some Nerf bars today, so far I am loving this truck, wheels will be next on the list.... I could have ordered a truck but they had this on the lot and I was sold!!

 

Your truck looks great, thanks for posting
