I don't know if this helps, but I just traded my 2015 TRD OR in for a 2017 TRD OR. The deciding factors were the MTS and Crawl Control as well as a some newer conveniences like navigation, sliding rear window, quieter cab, the pitch/roll indicator on the dash, better mpg, etc.

I did have to do a lot of negotiating and was prepared to walk out (because I already had a great truck!)...but in the end they paid off the remaining balance of my loan and put me in a 2017 for fair price and no money down. You can always try another dealer, someone is always willing to make a sale.

How much did you end up paying more for your truck and how long have you owned the 2015 and 2017 for? What do you think about your trade now?

I love my 09, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by a quieter cabin. 2nd gens are loud, especially at speed.

I appreciate your feedback everyone. The dealership dropped the price down now to $6400 for the "upgrade." The way I see it, when I brake, my steering wheel wobbles and my free 2 year maintenance just expired. The reason why I wouldn't mind upgrading is because the interior is much nicer and I do like the power sliding rear window. I have a cap and I keep three dogs in the back. It'd be nice to be able to open/close the rear window without having to reach for it (double cab). I also like the tailgate because I open/close it often. The 2017 also comes with bigger LCD screen (not that it matters much).

I see that some of you mentioned issues with the transmission but I wonder if this applies to manual as well? I usually tow about 4k lbs for work so that is one of the factors I am concerned about with the 3.5L.

Oh, one more thing, the longer I keep the 2015, the more $ I will lose if I wish to trade my vehicle in the future.

How much was the cost difference if you don't mind?
