    Man that would be something I for sure miss if I do switch over. Your platinum looks almost same as mine, you were running 35's?

    I definitely find myself in that same situation... scared to take a damn 60k truck off a beaten path (which I'm sick and tired of having that feeling lol)

    I actually just went the opposite direction. No way I’d go back.... you’ll hate it and the lack of features and comfort.

    The features really is a huge deal. Platinum is loaded with so many things, it's seriously unreal. For comfort, I test drove the Tacoma this evening and noticed the front seats are horribly squished. Back seats obviously never changed... curious as to what you mean in lack of comfort bud?

    The seats in the Tacoma suck. They weren’t comfortable whatsoever, not even a remote comparison to what we have in our platinums with the massaging seats, heated and cooled, heated steering wheel.. etc. I love the pano sunroof, lane keep assist, radar guided cruise, 360 cameras... etc. Toyota has the radar guided cruise and lane keep now though.

    Power in the Tacoma is abysmal, the truck is so small, and off-roading isn’t worth the downgrade.

    I can't argue on any of what you said really. Ford has always had the upper hand on technological improvements with their trucks. I can do without some of them, even though I have been spoiled for quite some time now because of it.

    That's another big concern is going from that twin turbo ecoboost which has some serious get-up to the Tacoma. I'd hate to downgrade in terms of power distribution, especially since I haul trailers quite frequently.

    The line usually used on here is that they sell a metric ton of them and any mass produced thing is bound to have a few bad apples.
