    New guy here so sorry if this has been discussed but I have a couple questions.

    I am looking at the Trd Offroad 4x4, I am having a really hard time deciding if it is worth it.

    2017 Tacoma Double cab with out the tech

    Msrp $38,202
    -$2950
    =$35,252 before TT&L

    OR a 2017 Tacoma Double Cab with the tech (w/o JBL)

    Msrp $ 40,782
    - $3206
    = $37,576

    So I guess my question is it worth $2324 for:

    Blind spot
    back up sensor
    painted rear bumper
    dual climate
    heated seats

    Thanks in advanced!!!

    I'm cheap but I sprung for it on my 16' and it was without a doubt worth it.

    Oh yeah! First day I was backing up and it started beeping so I stopped, then some kid went flying by behind me I didn't see... Didn't think I needed the other features too but now I love them!

    Heated seats and moon roof, just for that, its worth it. I wish I had the tech package, doesnt it also come with upgraded JBL audio?

    I wont buy a new vehicle without dual climate control.

    I hate the sunroof and thankfully we don't have to get parking sensors and sunroof with the nav/climate control in Canada.

    My head touches the sunroof in the tacoma, it's way too low of a roofline.

    Depends who you talk to, so only you can answer that question.

    Yes I forgot about the sunroof! I love sunroofs, but sadly I have had a problem out of nearly everyone I have ever owned. I am coming from F150s my last was a 2015 with the panoramic roof and it leaked since day one but Ford said it was normal. I will be turning my leased Grand Cherokee in in this though, I am finding I need a truck a lot of the times, and figured a Tacoma would get me a truck without the being a full size truck, Plus I have always wanted a Tacoma. I just can't decide on color Infernl or Silver sky.
