Upgrading to third gen?

Just wondering if a lot of 2nd gen owners thinking about upgrading to the new third gen.

 

"Some."

 

Nope

 

"Upgrading" is subjective

 

Bought a 2015 instead of a 2016 for a reason.

 

I upgrading to 2016 from a 2011 back last sept.

 

I wouldn't exactly call it an upgrade.

 

I wouldn't call it a downgrade either

 

Traded my 10' for my 16' and didn't even think twice!
To me the my 16' drives alot better
Gets better fuel economy
Looks better and has "cooler" features.
Previously had a 2010 TRD sport.
UPGRADED to a 2016 fully loaded TRD Off-road.
Just my personal opinion on it.

 

The answer is "some."

What's the point of this thread?

 

I have a 2011 Tacoma that I love but have been recently thinking about upgrading. But Toyota dropped the ball on the new Tacomas, to the point that it's made me look around and notice other trucks and I can't help but say I really like the 2016 Chevy and GMC midsize trucks, the Canyon and whatever the other identical one is called. I've never owned or considered purchasing a GMC/Chevy but those are damn good looking trucks. I'll likely wait and see what Toyota does in the upcoming cycle but it usually takes several years to get away from the current models.

 

No, I just upgraded from a 1st gen TRD in September. Still in the honeymoon phase.

 

They no longer offer the Off Road Access Cab with a 6 Speed, so Nope!

 

"upgrade"

 

Also subjective. Going from a 4.0 V6 to a 3.5 V6 might be a downgrade for some people.

 

I like my truck without the buzzy steering wheel everyone is complaining about. I know someone who has a third gen that is already showing tranny issues as well.

Never. Ever. Buy a first-run model.

 

I agree that "upgrade" is subjective.
I was all hot to order a 16 for months. Almost pulled the trigger and ordered one. Glad I didn't. The engine in the 2016 sucks. In my opinion it is not an enjoyable vehicle to drive. I love my 2013. So happy I got myself a 2nd gen.

Maybe Toyota will add power seats and taller seats for that matter to the 4th gen. As well as fix that grille.

 

I am pretty happy with my 2012.

 

To be honest i liked my 2011 but I gave it to my son. That left me buying a 2016. There was things I liked better about the 2011 but there are things I like better about my 2016. Sooner or later all will have to come over to the newer tacomas or go with another auto maker.

 

I was pretty excited when I heard about the 2016 remodel however I was underwhelmed when I saw it. With all the problems I have heard about on the 3rd gen section I am keeping my 2013.
