3rd gen unpopular opinions

Oh shit, that's funny af and I didn't even notice it.
"Caution, Racing Development"

Thank you for that

 

No problem!

That racing cap might blow at any minute. Watch your revs on the track!

 

Power is just fine. The Tacoma is no muscle car, but it's got more than enough grunt for everything I've needed so far. Passing on an uphill while loaded down with 800-900 pounds of passenger was nothing.

I have been very pleasantly surprised with its handling. My Tacoma does WAY better on twisty roads than a pickup has a right to. Maybe I'm just easily impressed (previous vehicles included various large Ford trucks and a Honda Pilot which understeered like a pig), but it grips and moves pretty well. I do have the TRD Sport, though, so it's basically a race car /s.

Shifting is good. I like to drive in "manual" (I think it's fun), but the stock programming is just fine. It kicks down a gear maybe a bit more often than I'd like, but otherwise it's good to go.

It looks super cool. Aggressive without looking like it's trying too hard, but still looks like a classic truck. Very cool!

 

unpopular opinion: I think my truck is almost perfect, infotainment system aside. I don't have an issue with the shift points or the power, or the seating position or anything...it's probably unhealthy how much I love this thing

 

Pretty much. Toyota builds a phenomenal truck, but they haven't quite nailed down infotainment yet.

 

Unpopular opinion: my mpg (which autocorrect just changed to mom) is too good.

 

It’s because you have a 2017

 

The stock sounds are fine. Ouuuhhh do you really need Subaru tweeters and kicker door speakers?

 

It’s an unpopular opinion, but you have the best user name on this site.

 

lol thanks. I was under the impression that TW says our stock sound systems are garbage. I also like your alligator

 

I rock the stock stereo. I find a little distortion gives the music a little more power.

 

Boom. Drop mic

 

And no, the mic does NOT have autotune...or TSS

 

N1.
Anti-TW upgrades.
Very unpopular around here. I think you won

 

Whoa. My 1000th post was regarding an epiphany (more of a revelation, actually)

 

Its possible to have too many TRD badges on or in the truck.

 

I think the stock gas cap holder is fine, so are the radio knobs. I've never fallen out of my seat cause the radio knobs were smooth or been completely dumbstruck trying to figure out what to do with my loose gas cap.

 

I'm with you all the way bro!

 

Well, I liked my 2016 Sport with a hood scoop and I like my 2019 stock Pro even better, even if I could have saved thousands modifying an Off-Road. Tried to get stuck in the snow and the stock Goodyear tires never let it happen. VooDoo blue is a sweet color when driving in poor conditions!

 

What if I told you there's a whole separate transmission called a manual? What if I told you it's even more fun? What if I told you you get an extra pedal to play with too?

This is wildly unpopular (clearly because they're damn hard to find anymore) Manual transmissions are awesome
