    Pro grill, TRD intake, Flowmaster dual exhaust, some LED updates
    I was thinking what would I need to have an ultimate Tacoma. These are some ideas I came up with:

    1. 375 horsepower, 420 pounds torque
    2. 7 speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters
    3. 4 wheel disc brakes
    4. 4WD/All wheel drive
    5. Off-road suspension, Fox shocks
    6. 17" SATIN/GLOSS black wheels
    7. 8" more rear seat room
    9. Power driver seat with memory
    10. Sunroof
    11. Dual exhaust
    12. Google or Garmin GPS
    13. Apple Carplay and Android Auto
    Etc
    Will think of some more...

    working on it
    OP is think too much......

    How much do you want pay for? Don't you need MPG?

    1. Why the HP and torque? Taco is the working truck, not racing car.

    2. Why paddle shifters? Reason above.

    3. Honestly, I don't see any benefit of 4 disc brakes, spend more for maintenance, not sharper than drums.

    Rest others can be an option.....

    My TACO is the best now, I love it.

    Has to be a troll post, paddle shifters really? IMO paddle shifters pretty much suck on an automatic.

    420 for torque? hmm

    Why so many less horses? Sure, torques are more important off the line and off-road, but hey we're dreaming right? 408hp, 421 torques sounds better.

    You got the wrong car, you wanted an STI.

    Meh, maybe.

    I bought a 4wd vehicle, not an AWD. No, no, and no. Just no.

    Why would this matter?

    Well sure, that just comes hand in hand with the dual turbo V6 option.
