    Just traded my 09 for a 15 and feeling pangs of anxiety about my beloved 09 sitting alone on a dealer's lot

    I miss her.

    I feel Gay for these thoughts of loss but I cannot deny they exist.

    Goodbye :sandwich::sandwich:

    Loud as hell URD exhaust!
    Why did you trade it in?

    What's worst is when you see it driving down the road by some stranger!

    Why? Why.....

    Because the ECU was acting up and I didn't want it to get worse and affect my trade price. plus I really didn't want a 16 or 17.

    Is this why you created the thread about all 2nd Gen Tacoma's being destined to have failed ECUs.

    Terrible. You neglected the truck!
    So, gay people regularly have regretful thoughts of giving up trucks?:confused:

    No the ECU has been fully revised and updated for the 15's. They come with a sandwich making feature that the previous tech of the earlier 2nd gens were incapable of doing due to lack of technology at the time.

    Didn't think there was enough room under the hood to house a full time sammich maker. This is good news.

    The 16's will offer a baked potato feature as well as a grilled cheese sammich function, so you might want to save your pennies. :thumbsup:

    Any truth to the rumor that the 3rd Gen's will have a full time sammich maker?

    My '11 already has a hot dog heating location under the intake manifold. :notsure: You have to remove the engine cover to access it, not many people know about it.

    That's because you must have the HC edition Tacoma (Hotdog Cooker). Most people weren't so fortunate to be educated about that package and many ended up not purchasing it due to the lack of the salesman's knowledge of his product.
