I'm looking to buy a 15 Tacoma TRD Sport soon. Do I get the JBL Premium sound system or not? I had a 2010 Tacoma SR5 and added a After market system at the cost of about $2K but always had small problems with it. Please advise.

If you are under 30 and added a $2k system to your last truck and still wasn't satisfied then the JBL will not meet your expectations. It sounded great to me but it has been over two decades since I was a true audiophile. Plus, I only hear in mono these days so I am less critical of the sound quality.

Thanks, I'm over 50. I just want to know if the JBL system is worth the extra money.
