    During my 3-month research for a 2016 DCSB OR, I read through thousands of posts on TW.

    After test-driving both A/T and M/T versions prior to the transmission TSBs coming out, I finally decided to wait a couple years before getting another Tacoma.

    I bought a 4runner instead and knock-on-wood it's been great.

    I just don't know why I like coming back to this site.

    I know...weird post.

    I'm kind of in your boat. I have a taco pro on order, but I'm on the fence about cancelling it and holding out for a cement 4Runner TRD pro. It's not really people or hear hauling I'm worried about, I can haul my people with either one, it's mainly just about deciding which of the 2 vehicles I like best. Are you glad you chose the 4Runner? Also, what about the taco made you go 4Runner?

    Yeah, you'll just have to figure out what you like better. Again, I test-drove 2016s prior to TSBs coming out so my experience would be different than yours.

    I think what it really means is that you want a Tacoma, and may have buyer's remorse with the 4R:)

    I agree with OP, I mod my 4Runner more but cruise this forum more. I guess I'm hopeful that I will come across some innovative mods like I did with the 2nd gen section.
    Just waiting on the day that we can stop crying about our 3rd gens and finally mod this bitch.
