    2020 TRD Sport Midnight Black 4X4
    In spite of what I read on TW, I went ahead and purchased my first Tacoma (2020 TRD Sport 4X4) 2 months ago.

    While driving home from the dealer, I was waiting for a poltergeist to take over my transmission, to be passed by everything on the road, rust to start forming everywhere, the stock tires to just start slipping and sliding, and the hood to block my view of the road - strangely none of this took place...
    I love this truck!
    The only issue was that Toyota decided mid year to delete the trans cooler with out saying anything. I do not feel as a consumer that you should climb over, under, and through a new truck just to see what is and is not included that the brochure shows should be included.
    I understand they have the right to change, they just should have told us so that I could have negotiated with the dealer for a discount or to have them install one prior to purchasing it.

    Welcome! GR area here. Bold move getting a Tacoma living near the Big 3! But I recently also made said transition back in April and haven't regretted it yet.

    Tell me about it. Interestingly when I was looking for my taco, there was tons of ford rangers and Chevy canyons on the lots but the tacos were scarce, even here in Michigan.

    I met a guy while camping in Marquette who works for Ford and drives a Tacoma. There's a selling point right there!
