    Love it. Funny, I had a '00 RegCab 4x4 2.7L-5 spd years ago. Bought it brand new, and every time I filled it up, ended up with 20 mpg's. The only time it did better, was on easy hwy trips at 60-65, then it managed 24-25 mpg's. It wasn't "fast", but it did the job!!

    Did they eliminate the back seats? Or did my Toyota dealership just decide not to bring any in

    Thanks guys for all the support!

    Yes, the utility model DELETES the following:
    - Rear seats, belts, headrests
    - Rear door speakers and wiring (that part sucks)
    - Rear sliding window
    - Painted bumpers and mirrors
    - Keyless Entry
    - Fogs
    - Intermittent wipers
    = $1,700 price reduction

    Out of the 2800 tacomas that were for sale in Feb 2016, 3 were like mine. It's very very rare. The rarest form of the new taco actually. The overwhelming majority of 3rd gen tacos are automatic, most are 4dr, most are v6. And of those with the 2.7, most do not have the Utility package.

    For comparison, my 16' SR was 24.4K. Dealer took $1,500 off because it was a stick, and no one in the Bay Area drives sticks, it was sitting on the lot for 4 months. I probably could of gotten the $2,000 off I asked for, but I got impatient. I do not have keyless entry though.

    OP, nice looking truck :thumbsup:

    You have an excellent taste in Tacomas. Time to look into building a shelf for the back space there. You can do it in an afternoon and makes that space far more usable especially if you have a dog.
