    Ok I admit, the 04 code is confusing now. We need to wait and see now.

    Far from it. I'm just having fun watching y'all try to read tea leaves with a document that's not even intended for customers.

    I just went down to my local dealer and they had a 2017 OR on the lot. It had a huge cock hanging off the diff so it looks like the 4.30 is legit.

    Yep that was what I was thinking also.... But, I ran the stock 3.73 in my '08 FJC with 33s and 35s.. 35s it was sluggish but with 33's I really did not notice that much difference.

    So I anm guessing 3.90 w/33's would be ok for the most part, 4.30's would be nice....

    Somebody write Seatbelt Mike and ask him WTF is up with his 2017 Taco! I have his email.... lol

    Also while you're at it ask why he didn't put power seats and some gorilla glass for the gauges instead of that shitty plastic that even baby fingers will scratch

    Heard the 2017 A/T comes equipped with a set of these to denote the 4.30 gear ratio

    Honestly, does the gear ration mean much to me, nope. I drive an APR tuned VW GTI with over 300ft lbs. of torque, it is plenty fast 0-60 for me. I test drove the TRD Off Road and was impressed with the firm ride and acceleration, is it as fast my current GTI? Hell no, I don't expect it to be, it's a truck. Both have their purpose, my car is for daily driving and my Tacoma will be for hauling my gear around on the weekends. I don't plan on towing with the Tacoma either so any fixes/changes made to the '17 before I order mine I hope will be for the better overall drive ability.
