Trade 17 Taco w/100k for 21 Taco Auto?

Alright before this turns into a grease fire, here’s my “situation”. As the title reads I have a 17 Taco with a unicorn manual it has 100,000 miles on the clock and the truck has been fantastic. I love it except for two things.

1. The clutch pedal squeaks and squeals like a stick hog, damn thing has been “fixed” plenty of times and it keeps moaning.

2. I’m 6’3”, multiple trips from Florida’s space coast to gulf coast and after a while my legs cramp up. Does the Auto fix this? Obviously this question pertains to tall guys.

So all that being said, you think I should deal with these issues since the truck is solid since day one or say trade for an Auto? Either way I’m staying in a Taco, yes there is the tundra but that’s a gas guzzler.

 

YEs

 

Yep trade for another manual

 

Have you installed the Desert Does It seat jackers? I had pain and cramping after driving about an hour because there was no thigh support. This summer I drove almost 700 miles in one day with no issues. The seat jackers were worth every penny for me.

Edit: Keep your unicorn! 17 is the best year.

 

I'm 6'1" and my '20 OR did not support my thighs;enter seat jackers...best value for driver comfort.

 

Keep it.

1. Grease it again.

2. Yeah, it helps as your seat position can be a bit further out with no need to clutch.

 

Will the TSS sensor annoy you? I mean it’s up to you and how much they give you for your current truck

 

High Temperature Disc Brake Grease on the pivot points will take care of that old barn door sound and it wont melt away like other greases.

 

Agreed, i used to get leg cramps now I don't. Kinda silly how much of a difference a few inches makes (that's what she said)

 

Maybe put FRS seats into itand a pistol grip shifter for a little more knee room then drive that truck.. straight.. to freedom!

 

Brake grease is the squeaking answer.

 

Do not get an automatic.
I have an auto and trust me nothing beats the feeling of rowing your own gears.

 

I prefer the MT but I ended up with an AT. If I could do it again, I’d get the MT instead of settling.
