    I agree. I really can't believe so many people have gotten a little sand in their Tacoma over even the possibility of a rear gear change from 3.90 to 4.30.

    There are just as many reasons that the 3.90 is better than the 4.30. It just depends on what your goals are. It's really a small change though. It's not like going from a 2.73 to a 4.56 gearing.

    Glad the auto us getting 4.3 diff though. It sells the most so it should drive in a way that is somewhat enjoyable.

    The "confirmation source" said he couldn't find the exact code on his reference and GUESSED it must be a 4.30 ratio.
    Instead of forming a lynch mob and going bat shit crazy...

    Jack it up, and use the rotate and count method. No guessing.

    I don't plan on selling my truck for at least 10 years sine Toyota gave me a free10yr platinum warranty so resale doesn't overly concern me. I can see where guys who want to run huge tires would be wanting the 4.3 but in off-road driving my stock truck I've never had any gearing issue .

    So would all those pissed about Toyota making a change feel better if they waited until 2018?

    I'm guessing here but I think it might be slightly different ascI think the gears in the trans are different? Not 100% sure. But we could confirm if we compare 2017 sticker to 2016..

    I bought the first year model VW GTI six years ago, nothing but problems; I test drove the '16 TRD OR AC AT two months ago and absolutely loved it. The dealer was pressuring me to close the deal and offered $2700 off MSRP, but having learned my lesson I walked away and said I will buy a '17. Fast forward to today, I am glad I decided to wait, once the gear change has been confirmed and the other nagging issues settle; I will place my order in time for Christmas delivery. :)
