    I had the same truck options as a 2010.

    I drove it in the snow and it was a champ, although the tires wore faster than I wanted them to.

    I traded it in for a 2005 BMW M3, then got married, and back into a taco I went.

    I could not find that tacoma option again, sr5 2wd prerunner 5spd 4cyl. Its rare. I am stuck with my 5 lugger now because they dont make 2012-2013s with that option in 5spd anymore.

    My point is - Keep your truck. I miss my prerunner like hell.

    I didn't know that they were that rare. But I guess it did take us 5+ months to find it.

    Thanks again for all the advice everyone.
