    Not being a troll but the 4.0 is quite a bit less efficient and the 3.5 has the goods at the low end. I tested about 28 2005-2015 Tacomas trying to convince myself I could live with it. I rarely need to go about 2,000 RPM around town (because I'm not 85 years old) and when I am at 3,000+ RPM with my 2016 I am haulin' ass.
    Gen 3 FTW! I fully expect to be praised or have someone say I was too well off to spend my money on a gen 3. Just look through all the problem threads is all you need to see on the gen 2 forum.

    Been saying this for quite a while now.
    Trouble is,some ppl wanna use it to tow houses with it and get upset when it doesn't perform like when it's empty and complain with 6k post about how shitty it is.
    Oh If they would just bring back the one-ton mini for them lol!

    But I do wish they had dropped the 4.3 V8 in the '17 pro though :/
    Just saying...

    Cheers

    When will this shit stop. Seriously, truck has been out over a year now. 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 1st gen, they all had and have quirks/issues, they all serve their own purpose. This is freaking ridiculous.
