    Welcome to the forum. 16’s and 17’s don’t have the safety sense stuff. Don’t know what part of the country you are in but here in Portland Oregon there have been some great prices on 16’s and 17’s.

    In my experience, bought a new kept it 37mo now iam in a 2019 much more user friendly Tech, and Auto trans. there is no such thing as a bad Tacoma, I encourage you to test drive several if it is possible.
