    Hello everyone!

    My name is Jason and thought I would let everyone know did something I thought I would never do. I sold my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and bought a 2016 Tacoma TRD OR DCSB M/T in inferno. I am from Texas stationed in California but flew to Colorado for this truck and drive it back to cali. What a way to start the ownership of my first truck. I ho[e to learn all I can from the veteran taco owners

    Welcome to TW. What swayed you from the jeep? Also how was the long ride? Did you get the transmission TSB done?

    I have owned 3 Jeeps now so I am confident I will get another but I needed more cargo space and not big on pulling trailers. The drive was went well. over 1000 miles and only felt the normal long drive discomforts. I only have my Jeep to compare to but I will say that I felt a lack of power when driving through the mountains even with the manual. I have seen TSB mentioned before thinking it was for autos but I do not know what it is exactly. Does that apply to manuals as well?
