    Owned and wheeled multiple manuals, I'll never do it again. Autos like Toyotas are strong and made to handle the trails. More control and if maintained will last the lifetime of the truck.

    Given what we have seen over the past 6yrs, including one or two 1/4mil mile 3rd Gens, I think we can say the engine and transmission hardware live up to what is expected and more.

    Yea I don’t know. I don’t do much of any trail driving where I may need crawl control. But it’s there so I might get to test it one day. Most likely on a day where my wife gets it stuck in snow haha.

    Man, my gf got a t4r recently and we were driving that exclusively for a number of weeks. I was really enjoying it mainly because it felt bigger/more truck-like and is a great ride. But I can't get over how fun it was to hop into the MT tacoma after some time away. Pure joy ride!

    I live in a mountainous region, no flat roads here. My 6spd Frontier handles it very well. Most importantly the gearing suits the engine. The stock tire size is 265/75R16 so going to a 285 isn't a dramatic change.

    You know where Toyota could improve on their MTS or A-Trac systems, is what Ford has on the new Bronco. The Trail Turn Assist.

    That is something anyone could use on a tight U turn on the trail. Without adding a separate line lock or manual turning brake like we do on sand buggies, it's a feature worth adding to the brake software.

    Not sure if I misunderstood the first sentence, but there is no such thing as a push start manual is you mean push button start.

    yes :rofl:. A push starter ignition (button) , and for your transmission you have a manual. That combo is not so good for bump-starting your truck if you battery is totally flat. The good ol key ignition + manual transmission = bump-start anytime.

    Its still not a special skill or talent, its just that as technolgy advances people don't care about it anymore...like sending letters through pigeons and shit.

    I’ve gotten up to 27mpg on a long freeway trip in my 6MT. I use stock tires and keep at cruise 65mph, don’t touch brakes or throttle down hill. It’s very possible and not hard too do IMO.
