    2017 Tacoma TRD Pro Cement MT
    Hi guys,

    I would like to introduce myself. My name is Juan and I work in aircraft parts sales. I recently found a TRD pro in cement and 6MT at a dealer here in florida about 4 hours from my location. I was surprised toyota offers a loaded truck with a manual and since I still refuse to buy any vehicle with a slushbox I was ecstatic to find toyota makes this. My new car selections are limited by the manual trans Criteria.

    I did research alot before purchasing and Yes, front diff needle bearings starting to cyclically hum around 40 mph in 4th, and the rear diff makes a faint howl at around 50 mph when feathering the throttle. Truck has only 700 miles LOL.

    Still love the truck though and hopefully toyota comes out with a fix for these.
    I am die hard toyota and own many other (older) models.
    My cars:
    2017 Tacoma Trd pro
    2002 Lexus is300 5MT with factory LSD (rare!!)
    1985 Corolla GTS
    1987 Supra Turbo Hard top (for sale)

    My family is all toyota as well:
    Moms: 1994 Land Cruiser
    Dads:
    2006 lexus LX470
    1994 MR-2 Turbo (rare!!)

    All toyota fans here. The old stuff was better but I love my tacoma

    Happy to be a part of the community and will post some pictures of above rides later when on my PC.

    cheers!☺

    Thanks on the warm welcome everybody!
    I like this truck more and more with each mile I put on it. I ALMOST got a 4runner TRD pro the day I bought it, the dealer had both that day. Perceived quality and fit and finish on the 4runner looked much better to me, but the available manual in the taco won me over. I have to say that toyota really knocked it out of the park with the transmission.

    I will put up some pictures shortly.

    I will be checking in on the local forumd too, I am no novice to the car meet game lol and would love to meet the community.
