    Could not find. Cement anywhere with both premium and tech. Don’t need a moonroof or dual climate... the rest cAn be had aftermarket for a lot cheaper.

    I have trd off road in cement with premium and tech package. Originally I wasn’t planning on getting the premium package but after I saw how much the leather seats adds to the interior I had to get it.

    Tech was a must have for me. I thought long and hard about the premium package. I have a sunroof on my Lexus and I never use it. My Lexus also has climate control, but I still adjust it manually. So I skipped on the premium package. Will eventually get the seats upgraded later when the stock ones wear out.

    I drove a PnT last week and I prefer my P... I love the tech I have but I also love being in control and not having 10 more buttons in front of me... and speaker upgrade on the P is cheap and sounds better than the JBL anyway.

    If you are dying for the sonar stuff then you’ll have to go up but me, never having owned any of that gadgetry I don’t miss it. I drive this truck just like anything else I’ve ever driven.. depth perception, mirrors, and to me the backup camera is premium tech and keeps me from backing into shit without something beeping at me

    Didn’t know you could get it with either premium or tech. My window sticker says “technology and premium package”

    I have an 18 TRD OR DCLB with tech and premium and love everything about it. So nice now that it is warming up here in mass and have the air cranked. Dual climate didnt matter to me for summer but wife loves cranking her side in winter. and the heated seats were always on for her. I turned mine on once in a while and it made my back feel great.

    Went with trdor long box loaded with premium technology package, I wanted heated seats and these cool black leather just like pro seats were perfect. I am 5'11 and no issues of head room. But if I was in California I'd just open the moon roof lol.

    I have an 18 with tech and premium, I’m happy. I just buy what I want when it comes to cars though.

    Check out Toyota and do a build. It's going to show the options and explain them. That's how I configured my truck, then I just had to call a few dealerships within 150 miles, boom I found one with the truck in route. Good luck, and test drive a few to see if you like the way it shifts and where the power is. The 3.5 builds power and torque in the higher rpms. I love my truck, just wish it had my 4.0l motor from my 2013. Some love it others hate it some tolerate it. lol enjoy it either way. I drove 5 different ones even a manual trd pro, but I needed a long box or I would have a manual pro!

    Ummmm... my three requirements when I bought this truck.
    1. 4x4 (given)
    2. White (first Tacoma was white)
    3. Has moonroof (no joke)


    So that instantly put me in TRD sport/off-road w premium and tech package (no jbl), or limiteds. Only one of those three options made sense for me.

    Just tech...Never understood dual climate control in a truck where you sit nearly shoulder to shoulder.

    JBL was not available on Manuals with P&T, I like the Speaker upgrade too as I do think it sounds better.

    I have a deposit on this exact truck in North County but wasn't able to sit in one with PP. REALLY hoping it's not a problem being 6'1" - this is the first I've heard of the sunroof being an issue.

    Try to find a limited to sit in. They seemed more likely to be sitting on the lots. It was a huge disappointment for me being 6'1. But ultimately, I'm happy not getting it, especially how I'm hearing the little boxes in the leather design is wearing out, that's a concern since they haven't been out very long.

    I'm 6'1" and fit fine with the moon roof. Probably depends if you have a long torso or not.
