Any regrets with your model selection?

I liked the sport for the hood, moonroof, tech stuff. I can't crawl anywhere due to my ADHD. The pro wasn't an option because they don't deal around here. A pro would have cost almost 10,000 more than I paid. Not worth it. I regret not getting a Manual trans. The automatic sucks. And its been updated twice.

 

No regrets with my '16 DCSB 6MT Sport. 18,000 miles and have had it for 10 months. It's been a joy to drive everywhere. Don't need all the extra Off-Road Stuff. The most off-roading I'll do is dirt trails and gravel. The manual transmission is a blessing in these trucks. Towing is pretty great too. It's a great truck for my needs.

 

I've had my TRD Sport for a little over 5 months and im not really happy with this truck vs my 2nd gen I traded it in for, It is equipped with almost every option (most I do not even use) but there is just something missing, I have no love at all for this truck, I think its mostly the transmission its very touchy, there is no middle ground with the gas pedal. If you give it to much gas there is a 2-3 second pause and boom its lunges, go to light on the pedal and stalls before you get that same lunge forward. I'm stuck with it for 3 years because I leased it, unless someone wants to buy me out of my lease or take over payments (430 month). Trucks got almost 2000 miles on it. I will give it one big positive though, it rides on the highway really nice,it does not even feel like your riding in a truck and is very quiet inside the cab.

 

Yup...I made it 5 months and then gave up.

I may have to do the same thing...was yours a lease or a loan?

 

Loan. Details here:

Not bad, i'm not sure what the dealer can do for me because of the lease, My brother is good friends with the sales manager with the dealer I bought it at. I could probably just roll all the fees into my new lease, if its to much I will just suck it up and keep it, I only drive on average 400 miles a month....which is kinda funny that will be 4800 in a year.

 

Just do a test drive first - I think it's a completely different truck with the 6MT. But before you throw any more money at it, make sure you feel the same.

 

The moonroof was a "must have", and I opted for the Limited 2wd. Zero regrets.

Only changes I'd make would be to get the factory mud flaps and Predator bars instead of the straight ones.

 

I have the moonroof, and I'm 6'2" and do not have an issue with hitting my head.

 

Zero regrets here. DCSB SR5 4x4 does everything I want it to do and more. Purchased August 1 2016 and rolled 30,000 miles last night. Have used 4 hi and 4 low many times getting to the camp, in the snow, and crawling around areas I shouldn't have been in. Hard to believe this thing was less than $32,000.

 

Yeah at that price they are practically giving these guys things away

 

Non here. Although I'll probably never use crawl control. Or even the rear locker for that matter. Its there if I ever do. I used the rear locker in my old truck all the time. But having to put it in 4lo to engage is dumb and not really worth the hassle in my use case. But I'd buy the same model if I had to do over again.

 

I never would have thought that the moonroof was such a pull for buyers. I have the HUGE panorama moonroof in my VW Jetta sportwagen right now. And while I do use it some, wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have it.
What does everyone love about a moonroof? And when did they start getting called moonroof? Weren't they called sunroofs?

 

The Sunroof is part of the Premium and Tech Package

 

Overall i like my truck. Its a 2016 off road double cab long bed white.

Wish i had just got the SR5 4x4 access cab (have to have the long bed) in manual though. This is the 1st automatic ive owned for my daily driver and it isnt the best. My wifes CRv automatic kicks ass but to be frank the 6 speed auto in this truck sucks

 

I bought my truck used. All I wanted was an off road model with low miles and looked (inside and out) and drove like the previous owner took care of it. At the time I was looking to purchase there were only a handful available in my state that met what I was looking for. Found a MGM with 9k miles That fit what I was looking for, and saved 5k. Very happy about my purchase. My wife on the other hand not so much. Hey, you only live once right?

 

Camouflage for the urban jungle, blend right in with the pavement.

 

I wish they offered Cement Color across the board, I would have ordered with that.

 

If they did

Most of us wouldn't have bought the cement pro thUs Toyota wouldn't be able to get sucker money from us Pro owners
