    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    It does heat soak if im red light to red light driving like an ass but not too bad.

    On the highway towing last summer it seemed like it caught a little in the mountains, but i had a full load and was going as fast as i could get away with.

    So far I haven't had any pinging, or substantial issues. The stock tune is pig rich as hell, when the trucks cold you can see the unburnt fuel haha.

    My 2008, 2013 and 2015 all creak and squeak it drives me nuts haha. Stupid plastic pedal crap.

    A-TRAC=Advanced-TRACtion control, basically it's simulated LSD front and rear, or just in the front w/ locker engaged. Only works in 4L, just like MTS/CC.

    Good Morning. First time post from a future Tacoma owner...

    Can someone post a picture of the pedals on the MT? There aren't any around me to test drive and there didn't seem to be a lot of room between the brake pedal and the dead pedal on the AT that I drove. I have size 15 feet and want to make sure it won't be any issue. I know the pedal pad itself is smaller, but the arm for it swings left around the steering column.

    I originally wanted MT but then convinced myself I'd rather have the AT with my commute (~45 minutes in stop and go traffic most days) but there's been a few threads from people not happy with the AT so I'm back to considering the manual.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    lol, thanks... I can kinda. My wife has pretty much vetoed the idea of getting an MT anyway so I think I'll be giving the auto a chance.

    Haha, I'm just kind of blaming her, but don't worry, I make my vehicular decisions myself. It would be nice for her to be able to drive the truck though and I haven't had much success in teaching her to drive a manual before.

    Anyone have insight as to why Toyota didn't include the keyless push button start on the manuals? I've gotten used to that on other cars and it's pretty lame to have to give it up. Turning a key.... ugh, the humanity. lol

    It's because we have the clutch start cancel feature, which lets the key turn and starter motor power the truck. I was kind of excited about a push button start and disappointed not to get one, but I'm over it now, and incredibly thankful to not have to deal with the ugly ass fob they give out.

    Here's some pedal porn for you:
