Advice for upgrading to a 3rd gen?

2017 also has the electric sliding rear window and the 2016 does not.

 

2016s have the 2 bed storage boxes tho even on SR, SR5, Limited etc

 

2020+ have Apple Car Play/Andriod Auto. Honestly its worth spending a little more for just those features alone. Apple Car Play is awesome

 

I made a graph to help.

 

I love my 2017, great truck and no TSS crap.

However, I would not be looking at a used 5 year old trucks to replace a used 12 year old truck, just me. I like new - my own frats in the seats and my own problems. Just me

 

I was looking at used Tacoma's as well UNTIL I saw how much a well-kept one actually cost.
Get a new one, compare prices and think warranty plus NEW vehicle.

Never look back.

 

++ On Height adjustable, I would had one sooner... Wife is only 5'1.....

 

For 2020+ the automatic transmission was reprogrammed to 'fix' erratic shifting.
IMO the most noticeable fix to the 3rd gens.
