    I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport that has some great upgrades. I saw it and it had all that I wanted and nothing I would not use. It came with double cab long bed, JBL premium sound system, 4 wheel drive, LEER Topper, XM radio, 17 inch wheels, Michelin tires, complete tow package, power inverter. I have since installed LED lighting in the topper w/remote control, Toyota bedmat, LED lighting in center console, lock for tailgate. More mods to be done in the future. Had trouble with the Entune linking to my Android phone along with freezing up. I updated the Entune software on my phone and the truck Entune system and all issues disappeared. Just did a 90 mile round trip and got 22.3 MPG with the V6 motor averaging around 70 MPH. Gets around 17.5 MPG in town. I read on the forum about the 3rd. gens and all the problems with constant shifting and the engine having low torque power issues so I decided on a 2nd. gen. Research showed the 2nd gen V6 has more torque than the 3rd gen V6 which torque is where the real power is indicated. Yep, I am happy about this truck.
