2016 TRD Sport vs OffRoad

Ahhh okay.

mainly fish skinny rivers with some decent white water, so a small floatable is the only way to roll

Heres my personal 2 person boat loaded up w/ overnight camping gear on a local river (seattle area). Its 10ft long (green one above is 9ft) so the 6ft bed is a 100% must (usually lower tail gate to get an extra 1-1.5 ft of truck bed area).

 

Have fun Caravanning

 

How come that sheet does not say "MT" or "AT" next to the DCLB TRD Off Road but gives the transmission on the other models?

 

no dclb manual offered

 

I have never been given a straight answer on why one is not offered. Tons of speculative answers but nothing from Toyota.

 

There isn't enough demand for a manual long bed

 

I think there is judging by these forums. Again, another speculative answer.

 

I know a few people at work who would have bought a DCLB Manual but got the automatic because they wanted the longbox. I think Toyota's market research suggests that it would be not a good business case. But I disagree, c'mon Toyota do the right thing and build it.

 

I have resigned myself to getting the auto even though I'd rather have a manual DCLB. Odds are the auto will get better MPG too.

 

There's no manual with the off road package because there is crawl control...my guess

 

I doubt this place has 10%

 

Probably less than that. If anything, Tacoma V6 owners are lucky there is a manual trans offered at all. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the 6-speed all together after a few more model years. BTW, my 06 6-speed DCSB 4x4 was pretty lame. And it was no fun for offroading. Let's keep the 6-speeds in the sports cars, mkay?

 

I'm impressed Toyota is offering a DC 4x4 with a proper manual with the Gen 3. If they drop the manual after a few years my next vehicle will definitely be a Heep Unlimited Rubicon.

 

How is a fake (or even if it was functional) hood scoop important??? It does nothing to move the truck... or anything at all... ?

 

It does something. It creates added drag

 

Nope

 

When do you take delivery OZ?

 

Waiting to see what configs are available here

 

Yep

 

It's a bump in the hood, which disturbs air flow over the hood. That creates drag

I never said Ram Air. Ram Air is ineffective until very high speeds are attained, as in several hundred miles an hour
