2019 Tacoma

Go test drive it on a windy day and drive it against the wind. That is how the car feels everyday.

 

I heard 2020 will have an updated grille.

 

My 2016 and 2019 2x4’s don’t have zerks. After driving my 2016 for over 3 yrs than the 2019 I definitely notice a difference for whatever reason. The original characteristics are still present but, noticeably improved.

 

My 2016 has zerks, many did. Known fact. I know your 2019 does not. Cost saving cut. Same as bed cubby.
If you ever come up with a parts list of whats changed on the driveline I'd love to see it. It doesn't exist though. You probably had different older tires, suspension, no software flash etc. Bottom line is nothing has changed. All part numbers are the same pretty much in that area. Except for your supercharger and rear discs ?
I keep hearing this myth but I've rode in new ones that drive like crap compared to 2016's with Fox suspensions and better tires with software upgrade. Smooth as butter compared to new stock.

 

Still feels better to me.

 

And you know this how?

 

It's how the marketing works.

 

This x3. Don't be one that comes here whining about fitment, features or driveability that would have all been revealed by doing this.

There is lots of reading to do here, both good and bad. So be sure you do that as well. If nothing else, it will give you tips of things to consider.

If your 2000 is decent, you'll always do better to sell outright, not trade.

Good luck with your consideration process.

 

Limited vs sport. I’d go sport. Sport with leather premium. You have give some love to that hood scoop. Yes, it’s cosmetic. But it’s awesome. Plus that “TRD” sticker on the box is cool.

 

Just traded my 2018 SR5 Double for a 2019 TRD Off Road Manual in Cement Grey.

 

+1
$3k more for the 2020 creature comforts would stray Toyota further from the price margin against competitors. Realistically, it'll be $1k-$1.5k more (if that), IMO. Q1 Taco sales figures were still class leading, and I don't think they'd like to jeopardize that with a big bump in price, especially with the new competition this year.

 

what made you trade it in after a year?

 

If I had to guess I would think cause of the Manual

 

Missed that part

 

Just couldn't stand the Automatic transmission on the SR5 (sluggish, stumbles) . I've always had MT on cars and trucks I've owned before and always enjoyed. Had the 2018 SR5 for 11 months and put in a lot of miles (almost 16k) Originally wanted the Off Road trim but my wife and I purchased two at same day (RAV4/Tacoma) I figure that's a lot for two cars so I cheaped out and opted for the SR5. I didn't say I'm not completely satisfied and I guess she been noticing it. She finally asked me if I want to upgrade to the trim level and gave me a go to do it if I like. I didn't waste no time and look for the best reasonable deal and went for it

 

I would love to have the manual transmission. When I was looking for my 19. I was looking at manuals. My wife put a stop to it. She wanted to drive the truck too. And she had no intention of learning a stick shift. Oh well.

 

I think MT is the way to go with these 3rd Gens IMO

 

Found a good deal On TRD Beadlock and here’s how the truck looks now with 265/75/16.

 

Are you missing the ring?

 

likely just the transmission update that your 2016 never got (you have to request it)
