    Canuck Tacoma owner, SR5 TRD sport dbl cab. The new engine love it. They must have had my last vehicle tapped as everything i complained in the 11' about was fixed in this one. 2012 looked just like the previous gen with a face lift. looking for a a great set of commercial tires ( i use mine for work) goodyear adventure at with kevlar are recommended, any other suggestions?

    Actually, according to Toyota, you went from Gen. 2 to Gen. 3.
    Gen. 1 was prior to 2005, Gen 2 was 2005-2015, Gen. 3 is 2016 and up.
    Just thought you might like to know.

    Thank you for the warm welcome! happy to have made the connection. Also happy to have just made my old triflecta cover fit the new bed!

    What an improved fuel economy on the truck and ride is smooth. 2011 took an hour for my child to fall asleep now she asleep in ten even on back roads. Any suggestions on Tires for me? BF adventure with Kevlar, anyone have these?
