Retired Marine and long time Tacoma owner. I owned a 2005 Tacoma TRD for 10 years, traded it for a 2014 Tundra and traded that for a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport at almost exactly one year. Ya just can't beat the Tacoma TRD!

My first act after this is sending a PM to CBoy808 about one of his awesome decals.

 

welcome to party!

 

Welcome aboard from a retired USAF sgt

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Curious why you got rid of the TUNDRA?

 

Welcome!

 

Where do I start? And all examples compare to my previous 2005 Tacoma. Edited to add and my 2015 Tacoma as well.

Less internal storage compartments (ALL gone).
- Loss of behind the backseat storage
- Loss of under the back seat storage
- Loss of front left cubby
- Loss of behind the passenger seat pocket
- Loss of bed storage compartments

Worse gas mileage
- Loss of 3 MPG when not towing
- Loss of another 3-4 MPG when towing

Loss of truck bed electrical hook-up

Windshield did not repel water as efficiently as the Tacoma or other cars/trucks I have owned
- Never did figure this out, it just was inefficient at dealing with rain with or without windshield repellent

Honestly, I knew in less than a week that I wished I had not made the trade.

In the end, I traded for the 2015 (that was at another dealer) sight unseen.

 

Curious why he didn't went with a 3rd Gen Taco

 

In the end, I traded for the 2015 (that was at another dealer) sight unseen. I do miss the outside temp gauge, but otherwise this one is identical to my 2005. As to the latest generation? The front looked too much like a Dodge Dakota to me.

 

Doesn't your 2015 have the temp gage in the mirror?
There should be a setting to activate it.

 

Not on mine. And when I asked the service guy at our local dealer about it he said this was an option that had to be installed at the factory.

 

Do you have backup camera?

 

Yes. And the GPS (which I could have done without).

 

Welcome!

 

I didn't know I had outside temp gage until I was playing with the menu on the mirror.
Strange

 

There's no wiring going to my rear view mirror. Just a basic flip mirror.

 

Hey OP I've got one from a 4runner that should fit if you're interested. I can send pics.
