    No, just being a fat bastardo is the actual term, but I feel better about myself when the Taco lean is my fault and I can't steer effectively because my gock is in the way by saying I'm big bonered, errr, boned...

    Guessing you haven't read about the secondary pump failures on the 14 and 15s that cause $1500+ in repairs and valve issues, well known issue.

    nothing is bullet proof. 2015 is still the best 2nd gen you will ever buy hands down.

    I'm gonna disagree and say '06-'08 were the best years. Traction control? F that noise.

    I beg to differ the 2012/2013 don't have this issue and the same content as a 15 (I owned one). If going used I'd buy a 2013.

    no the 15 has more content. I sold toyotas I know them inside and out. the only thing I liked about 2013s was the last year they had spruce mica green. that is the only reason I would buy one.

    Please inform me as I had 5 of them, what more content? Perhaps the entune display thats about it bud, I'll wager my truck on it. And if you sold them/such an expert, you'd know about the secondary pump issue just saying. Most salesman know crap too, every tacoma I've owned I've known more than the sales guys about them. Its funny when they make shit up too.

    Your annoying, The 3rd gen has a better entune system,moonroof,crawl control,multi terrain select,different packages for sport and offroad,different suspension, different tires, different wheels, safer inside and out, 2 inch deeper bed, not to mention its a different truck from the ground up. I understand you think i am just a "sales person" But I do not sell cars anymore and I am sorry that your sales people you encountered are not as knowledgeable as you like. I can tell you that the guys that came on my lot and treated me like shit and said they owned 5 Tacoma's and know more were dumb ass rednecks with no knowledge of shit (that is my experience)

    Give me your fucking truck so I can sell it for some cash.

    How am I annoying? Because I'm right and you're wrong and I called you out on it? You were saying a 15 is better than a 13 content wise, you do realize they are both 2nd gens, and the 3rd gen with the extra content you're talking about is a 16 not a 15. You just proved my point that sales people or whatever you were/are know little about their product, and suspension parts are carried over from both gens bud along with a host of other things, not ground up by any means, this is a known fact here. And before you assume with your ignorant little redneck jab, I have 3 degrees and working on a PHD, I do however listen to country and own guns, but keep running your mouth. (INSERT FOOT HERE), I'll be keeping my truck and do some more homework on your tacomas before you spew stuff off here or call someone out, just saying.

    What a buffoon. USAFWX knows his stuff. If you can't take it from him then you don't deserve to be educated. Ignored.

    suspension parts are not carried over.... the 16 sports are tuned for on-road use and have different schocks the offroad has the bilstein.... i thought we were talking about 3rd gens sorry <_< the 15s have a little more content and yes the main thing is the entune system. the 15s are a better choice because they are the newest 2nd gen and will forever have more resale then the 13s. your annoying because you are talking smack to me over 15s on a website. me talking about the 16s has nothing to do with my knowledge of the product it just has to do with me failing to read what we previously talked about. Im glad you have your "3" degrees and im glad you are going for a PHD (who the fuck cares) college is a waste of time now days it makes more sense to be in a trade.

    I realize that but if you read thru the majority of them are 2012s, my understanding is on the newer ones they changed the programming or something to cause the pump to run a second or so after shutdown to expel any water build up.

    No because you argued a 15 was better than a 13, I said why it isn't (secondary pump failures), you then argued it was talking about 3rd gens instead of 2nd gens, and guess what the leafs, UCAs, frame, etc. (suspension parts) are carried over, and yes you not knowing what years as you argue does mean you knowledge is skewed, you couldn't even distinguish between the years and generations. I wasn't talking smack until I had to respond to you who actually was the first one to make any "smack" remarks with your ignorant redneck comment. Dude no qualms, but come on, don't argue or call people out unless you know what you're talking about.
