    Yep, it's got the tech package. This truck is slick. I'm new to having a touch screen in a truck, but it's cool. I'm really digging the moon roof too.

    The manual is nice! I think it could use a short throw. The gear ratios seem ok to me, and it shifts really solidly.

    The engine is the biggest surprise. I bought a supercharger for my t100 (btw, anyone need a supercharger and intercooler for a 5vz-fe?!), and test drove a supercharged second gen the night before I bought this truck. Obviously the supercharged truck makes more power. But it doesn't make THAT much more. That surprised me.

    I did the same thing. Went to a dealership to check out a used Tacoma I saw online. Walked out with new 2015.

    Great looking Taco. I like the look of the roof rack on the off road. It really compliments the black over fenders.

    Beautiful truck, Epim. I'll bet you she has a different vice for every day of the week. Sounds like you're already hooked on her. Just try to enjoy the ride. You'll survive.

    Took her on on some trails this weekend at a friend's property.

    Added some racing stripes courtesy of manzanita. Such is life :)

    Really like that black color. Sweet that you got a manual too! I wonder how much differently it drives from the auto.
