No more manual transmissions

Just looked at the Toyota website, no manual PRO option available for order. Really?

 

Changes by region based on what's currently allocated. They will have a manual TRD PRO.

 

Judging by all the threads on the 2018s, I wouldn't trust anything on Toyota's website

 

It only shows what is currently in your region. Download the brochure, it’s available.

 

Get a TRD Sport Access Cab in Cement and put Pro upgrades on it. You'll have an absolutely sexy truck.

 

Access cabs don't get manual

 

The TRD Sport is the only way to get a manual in an access cab. It is also the only V6 long bed with a manual. I really don't like the Sport, but it looks like that is now my only option for a Tacoma. I don't want to spend all that money, then have to swap out the tires, shocks, springs, and put a locker on it. Toyota is doing everything they can to make look at a ZR2.

 

Ah yea the Sport, I forgot about it since the Sport turns me off for the same reasons. I've having a bit of buyers remorse for going with the auto...

 

Get the Sport and then swap the hood with someone with an OR. Next do a suspension upgrade. Maybe that would help?

 

But you cannot get a manual in any Colorado configuration - so I'm a bit confused

 

The Toyota configurator is just full of shit, end of story. It isn't just region locked because I couldn't choose a manual for anything on there when I was shopping, and thought they just didn't exist- even a local sales guy told me this- until one showed up on a truck.

 

You're not looking hard enough. Try ZIPs from different states. I saw a couple 18 sport manuals in the San Francisco area.

 

I was looking at every major metropolitan area within 300 miles of Cinci for 6 months shopping for my truck. Though, I confess, I didn't try putting in a California zip!

 

Yes you can, Colorado 4x2

 

That title though.
The manuals are still alive and well

 

Oh, I stand corrected - thank you!!

Cheers,

 

Check cars.com, you'll find truck much easier from across the entire country.

 

I agree, but I thought we were specifically talking about the Toyota Configurator thing and inventory search.

 

Yes, but the 8 speed auto in the Colorado seems much more pleasant to drive. If I'm stuck with a AT, I at least want one that's decent to drive. I took a test drive in a 2017 TRD OR and found it really annoying on the freeway. I suspect if you just drive around town in flat country it's not too bad though. I'm still hoping the 18 Tacomas have a better tune.

 

I've seen manual trucks on both Toyota and Cars.com
