    I just got back to Idaho after flying to Denver to pick up my new rig. I was very nervous after reading all the negative reviews of the auto, but I have to say it was not as bad as I expected. I guess I am used to the slushy shifting in my 16 RAM 3500 Cummins as the Tacoma was not bad. I played with the ECT switch, but did not find it to do too much.
    First time Tacoma owner and I am in the over 40 club and 6'4 so no tech pack due to moonroof. The Taco has a nice ride and handled well. Not as quiet as the 2013 F150 FX4 I had and not as smooth, but still very good for a midsize. I drove freeway speeds from 50 to 80 most of the way home and hand calculated mileage was no lower than 21 over 900 total miles.
    It was hard to drive by the Moab turn off and not drive the 30 miles just to see the place from the road, but I had to be back this evening so could not waste another couple hours.
    I am pleased with the purchase so far. Will put another 900 miles on this next week and try to report back.
    The photo above is on Highway 191 in Utah

    Thinking about going today and looking at one of these in LB configuration.

    Hopefully within the next 2 weeks I own a Taco. Just have to decide on SB or LB, color and manual or auto.

    Sharp ride and enjoy it!
