    I'm thinking about buying a 2014 double cab 4x4 Tacoma and have a few questions. Also open to any other feedback you might have.

    1) rear view mirror. The brochure says the sr5 and trd packages are supposed to have an auto dimming mirror with compass and temp. Though both of the trucks I have seen so far have had one of these packages, neither had an auto dimming mirror and neither had a temp/compass display anywhere. Is this a known misprint? Should they have these features?

    2) the one I have liked the most so far had the trd off road package and the trd performance exhaust added to it. Any feedback on this exhaust? I don't have to have anything about the standard exhaust and not sure it it's worth the extra 400$ (but it's already installed). Does it help or hurt gad mileage?


    3) what kind of mpg can I realistically expect out of these? I drive fairly light footed and about 70% highway.

    4) SR5 vs TRD OFF-ROAD package. What's really the differences here? As far as off-road I occasionally drive in a field for deer hunting. That's about it.


    Thanks

    1 - It is a known misprint, only the Limited has anything other than the basic mirror.


    2 - As far as I can gather, the TRD exhaust adds a little sound to an otherwise completely quiet truck. It is a decent exhaust and very mild sounding, $400 isn't worth it unless you specifically want it.


    3 - I get about 18 MPG in mine but varies.


    4 - I like the "looks" of the TRD Sport, but the TRD Off-Road actually has features that would help you in off-road situations. The SR5 is a more basic truck.


    As was mentioned, search the forums, everything I said is probably in the first couple of pages on this particular forum...
