    Yeah...that's a great idea except I don't have a 2017 in my driveway.
    But to the point, I didn't say I had an opinion one way or the other on the 3.90 vs 4.30 debacle, just that the villagers are lighting their torches before knowing the facts.

    I wonder if automotive magazines ever give this kind of change any coverage. Probably not. Glad I held off on a 2016. My furnace blowing up didn't help either but at least now I know the DCLB I will get will have more torque down low for towing my little Casita camper.

    (Me upon finding out my 2016 A/T Taco won't have as good gearing as the 2017)

    First 30 seconds: "Wow! that really sucks! I'm going to write loads of emails until they do something about it!"

    Since then: "Is it lunch yet? I'm bored..."

    According to the picture @smitty99 posted showing "A04D" for the axle, The link above would show that the 2017 has 3.73 gears?????? Now I am really confused......

    Huh?

    Are you saying that it's absolutely impossible that a marketing department of a corporation issued a document with a typographical error in it.
    Bless your heart.

    So they changed the gear ratio for 2017 but couldn't plug the lower control arm holes? Highly unlikely.

    There's nothing confirming that until someone puts eyes on a build/spec "on a truck!" IMO.

    Wow I'll be sorely disappointed that I bought my truck in May and that you can get a 2017 with the better ratio 3 months later...

    yeah that document is pretty garbage looking in general. not meant for public consumption, just an internal marketing tool.

    occam's razor suggests it is far more likely that this is a typo. this place is insane sometimes!

    Do you think the average Tacoma buyer has any clue what a frigin gear ratio is to begin with? All this price talk and resale value is bonkers.

    @smitty99 if you're still at the dealer, did you by chance check the tailgate lock to confirm/deny power locking from factory?
