    Youll be able to buy a 4G with a manual so this is a non issue.

    I’ve yet to meet a manual 3rd gen owner. Doesn’t seem to be most of their cups of tea. More molle panels and Meso plastic trim stuff.

    I don't get the point of a huge front end when you're only rocking 300HP

    Tacoma owners: we want aftermarket support

    The aftermarket support: tactical key fobs, raptor grilles, MOLLE window replacements, gas cap holders

    Sucks that they only offer them in the upper tier trims.

    Gimmie an option for a base model 4x4 V6/6 spd with the access cab and I might splurge.

    Pretty sure its an NTSB thing that the front ends have to have so much crash support or crumple zones.

    Regulator and motor arrived; even a lot of mud members have had long term success with the Dorman replacements though you do get a few members spouting out OEM part numbers.

    20230509_153216.jpg

    If I recall correctly, OEM would cost upwards of $1k just for 4 regulators and 4 motors.

    Ranger remains clean. They'll likely mess that up next refresh.
    The raised hood on the 4G is another thing I don't get.

    I think I went Dorman on one of mine, I can't remember now.
    My drivers side I got from @BartMaster1234 and it's always been funny because the operation is reversed, so up is down and down is up on the switch. Adds character.
