    Second Tacoma. Bought first one (used 2005 low rider type) in 2012 and sold it in 2017 when I got my brand new 2017 SR5. I'm in the Melbourne FL area and the best deal was via the on-line sales guy at Bev Smith Toyota in Ft. Pierce.

    I actually bout a 2017 4 cyl on the last day of 2016, kept it three months and took it back and replaced it with a 6 cyl. My mistake was in thinking the new 4 cyl would be just like my old one. Wrong! During highway driving the 2017 four cyl. Would shift repeatedly even on slight inclines. I'm not talking about hills but RT. 95 in flat Florida. I later learned that the transmissions were not the same......live and learn.

    So all you potential buyers, IF you travel highways and live where you have anything that looks like a hill, DO NOT even consider the 4 cyl.

    One last introductory thought......I bought my second Tacoma because they hold their value.....with care and a good record of routine maintenance.

    I would guess that all of you reading in this forum would already know that!

    Be safe!
