Differences between the 2016 and 2018 trd sport??

Shopping for a TRD Sport and wanted to know if anyone knows what significant differences there are, if any, between the 16-18 (or even the 19) TRD Sport, or has a suggestion about where I could find that info. Thanks

 

2 or 3 years

 

Power rear window (16- No) (18 - Yes)
TSS (front sensor) 18+

Maybe some other minor things? Maybe not

 

Seems 2016 had many mechanical issues.

 

2016-2017 - no TSS (& adaptive cruise)

2017+ : power rear window, I think???

2018+ : TSS, still contains driver's bed cubby and GoPro windshield clip.

2019+ : no driver's bed cubby

 

The 16 was the first gen 3 so it did have its issues. I have a 2016 and mine has been fine. I did however purchase it certified so all the recalls were completed. I undercoated the frame after the recent recall for the tub front frame. As most owners will attested it a good mis-sized truck

 

My 2016 has a go pro windshield clip

 

Genius! Those are the actual form-u-o-lees I used!

 

So did mine. I meant that the GoPro clip lived from 16 to 18, got deleted with the 19. Driver's bed cubby lived from 2nd gen before-afore times to 2018.

 

2016 4x4s have 5 Zerks to grease. 2018 4x4 has 2 or no greaseable Zerks. Not a big deal, but if you get a 2016, keep the Zerks greased so they last longer. I bought my 2016 new and there were a couple of TSBs that needed addressing in the first year. After that it has been trouble free. Here is a PDF that should tell you everything about the 2016 Tacoma.

Here is more info on the 2016 Zerk locations.

Also, the 2016 Sports had a chrome grille (see the picture on page 2 of the PDF link). 2018s went to the TSS sensor in the front grille.
