    I am not impressed at all by the A/C seats.

    I like being hot. Heated seats are my thing. A heated steering wheel would be great.

    FYI get good quality window film. I have ceramic heat rejection tint on the Tacoma. I installed black Clazzios before the summer and I've not had a single issue with the leather getting hot.

    My brother has an Ford ECO boost. I drove his truck while hauling my rx7. My tacoma was jacked up to high and offroad bumper raised the hitch to high even with a 10" drop. His truck drove like a dream. It was pulling a car and till in 5th and 6th gear at 1.5k RPM's. It was smooth as silk. I have had other V-8 as well and they pull like a dream. I pulled my RX7 before the upgrades and it would be in 4k RPM's to maintain speed. I was using a heavier trailer at that time, but I don't think it would be much different without it. This tacoma however can't stay in 6th gear pulling nothing on flat ground hardly. But I still like my tacoma. I may just need to regear when I can afford that. I doubt it will be all that different though. I think a set of turbos or V8 upgrade would be a smart upgrade possibly one day.

    That motor is very capable. You can pull 600+hp on stock motor with turbo swap and tune.

    I absolutely loved it... Route 1 was kinda crowded in places, but once we got away from the tourist traps, it was great.
