    I just picked up a 2015 with 25k of very well maintained miles. Magnetic Gray DCSB TRD OR. Always wanted a Tacoma and now I have one. I am very impressed with the truck. Plenty of power and handles great. I test rode probably half a dozen different Tacoma, but never a TRD OR. Boy those brakes in the OR are quite a bit more sensitive than the other non OR. Overall I LOVE IT!
    Here is a crappy photo to prove it happened! :)

    Congrats on the new truck! Good choice! ;)

    That OR sticker on the back though... is not stock the MGM (magnetic grey metallic) trucks have white stickers like mine.

    The brakes are way more sensitive because the ORs have ATRAC, which adds an electronic brake booster to the braking system. When you do a small lift and upgrade to 32" tires (265/75/16 or 265/70R17) it takes a little of the edge off the initial bite.

    Thanks! I did notice the TRD OR sticker and figured it was aftermarket. The PO also plastic dipped the grill and rear bumper, which I will be taking off. I think he just must of liked the look. Lots of little clear bra pieces on it too.

    I've got a spare stock OR chrome grill I'd sell you for super cheap that I removed from my truck right after getting it if you didn't want to deal with the plastic dip. Just taking up space in the garage. Let me know if you are interested. You can also get color matched ones off of eBay or directly from Toyota.

    Thanks I will. I am not sure what I am going to do with the front end yet. I like the black look just not the Plasti-Dip black look.

    THanks. That was a bit of a bonus too. Not that I doubt Toyota, but the first year anything is always a crap shoot. Besides, the gen 2 had more headroom than the gen 3.
