    Hello TW,

    So, after several weeks of reading up and down this forum and doing research on all the issues people are having I still placed the order for 2016 Tacoma DCOR. Yes, there's a slight buzzing in steering & gas pedal at certain RPM's & yes, there's an odd vibration in the break pedal when slowing down but it's nowhere near as bad as many claim.

    I do 60 mile commute each day, I haven't had my leg get annoyed or numb or fall asleep from any discomforting vibrations or buzzing. I'm also 6'4, I'm not sure what tall people are talking about as far as not enough headroom, I'm sitting comfortably with a good 4-5 inches between my head & roof.

    So far, to me it just feels like any other truck, honestly it has better road manners then any Domestic I've been in. So far, I'm happy as F*** with my investment.

    No mods yet, not even tint, I've only greased the 5 u-joints (yep all dry, so what, took me 10 minutes to get it done, not a big whoop), checked all fluids & did a full claybar / wax over weekend.

    Oh and this is all pointless without pics I suppose;

    Congrats on the new truck, way too clean though. Time to get her dirty...

    I've been debating as well to buy a new 16 taco or go second gen. I'm glad you had such a great experience, I'm hoping to just bite the bullet and do it myself!
