    I've been working for months to get a TRD Off Road with a manual transmission and the premium technology package and it finally paid off. Even though I live in the Fort Worth area, I was finally successful by working with a dealer in Roswell, New Mexico. So, I picked her up on Saturday morning and drove her almost 500 miles home that same day.
    I took back roads so as to not run her at constant speeds for prolonged periods during the break in and even stopped off at a BLM OHV area on the way to exercise all the different 4X4 modes. So, with 60 miles on the odometer I had the diff locked, climbing dunes in 4 low.
    I'm really happy with everything so far except the fuel mileage but I knew that going in so I'll deal with it.20170624_121849.jpg

    Welcome, and nice rig!

    Love that color on an OR. BTW, back roads are where you can get pretty good mileage with the M/T. Sweet spot is about 45-50Mph (under 2k rpm in 6th).

    Next time call my salesman, Jeff Raim, at Freeman in Hurst. If it exists in Gulf States Region, he can get it for you at the lowest price.

    Cool truck!

    Keep an eye out for me. I'm in Ft. Worth frequently.
