Random stuff you LIKE about your 3rd gen tacoma

^^^ thanks for the link. I'm now $85 poorer.

 

I really missed the intermittent wipers on my 2012 a/c. - only had fast & stupid fast mode.

 

easy fix if you don't have it now. plug and play too.

Thanks, I do have it now. I have 16 trd sport dcsb with upgrades. So much happier with this truck. Such a dream to drive.

I've even had friends tell me "I think you have an obsession with your truck " !! lol.

 

hA ha I didn't want to be the only poor tenter out there.It is a good price I thought after researching these for a while.I like the awning that the napier has,so I bought some awning type material at a discount store for 4.99 a yard and some heavy duty clamps and I think(pray) that I can clip it to that last round pole on the tent and take a grommet tool and make my holes at the end for poles to stand up on ground.So I just got the tent it shows up a lot faster than it says it will and I am in Maine.I want to set it up this weekend and see if my theory of the awning works.Pics to follow.

 

**following - waiting for the pics. Wife was just saying she was wanting to go camping some time soon... thanks for the link. looks like I too will be buying this.

 

I have an old tarp I use for the same purpose, and will here too. For the other end I have some old tent poles I found at a yard sale years ago for a couple of bucks.

 

I love the keyless entry and pushbutton start.
I love the fancy interior and all the features.
I love how quiet and smooth the ride is.
I get decent gas mileage for a V6 4x4 truck.
When I first saw the '16 body style. I absolutely hated it. Now.....I think it's the best looking Tacoma there is!

 

Soooooooo many cupholders.

I just put all 6 of my beers in the cupholders around me, its so much safer not having to reach into the box every time now.

 

I like the DRLs.
I like the steering wheel.
I like the simple controls.
I like the comfortable seats.
I LOVE the 6MT.

 

+1

 

I love the heated mirrors in the rain.

 

I don't get rain in my area. I'm sad now.

 

Our rain is over except for maybe one or two light storms that will come through in late july, early august. Then we have to wait unitl November or December for more rain

 

I love that it fits in my garage. Full size trucks have become so large that they don't fit in a typical garage without taking up 2 spots. I traded my 2013 F-150 for my 2016 Taco for this very reason.

 

And we appreciate your safe driving efforts,those distracted drivers reaching for things kill so many.

 

Do they all come with heated mirrors? I had the fully loaded TRD Sport with DCLB, JBL Audio Package, Tow Package, Sun Roof, ect. But I never noticed heated mirrors. Maybe I'm missing something?

 

Does it have this button below and between the dials?

 

The steering wheel is something I like. It feels solid and substantial and the leather wrap is smooth like butter. You can feel the quality in it.

I love the wireless phone charger as well. Toyota is ahead of the game in that regard.

Also, I dont use the Entune app but I pair with my phone via bluetooth and its fantastic (and pairs quickly). The handoffs are clean, my podcast app picks up right where it needs to, etc.

The big modern screen is also great.

 

i forget from when I test drove it, but are you referring to comfort turn signals where a push down with no lock is a 3 flash for lane changes and a lock will keep it on for a full turn?

I cant remember if it had comfort turn signals or the annoying ones that BMW used to use where you touch it and it will continue to blink until you turn.

I'll tell you one thing I wish it came with, a rear window defroster. Matters a lot here in the great white north. But otherwise from when I test drove. I like the steering wheel, windows, heated side mirrors and seats, sunroof and the overall interior.

One of the reason I've waited for the third gen is because I felt the interior of the older gens was so bland. almost cheap feel and look. much happier with the new one. Few more months and I'll be ordering a 2017. Hopefully all bugs are sorted out and I should have enough money saved for a 30K down payment
