2011 TRD Sport Access Cab vs 2016 TRD Sport Access cab

After 5 years and 78,XXX miles, With nothing but a battery at 36k under warranty.
Then the oil changes, on the second set of tires. I traded for the 2016 both auto's.
The 2016 felt a little underwhelmed first drive and I was not sure how it at first compared to the 5spd 4.0.
But after a few hundred miles on the highway that opinion has changed.

Interior is win. Much better than 2011 it had no Bluetooth and the sound system is great
much improved and then with Navigation and heated seats but I don't use those.
overall ride is tighter and pulls much easier and nicer at 80 than other truck and I'm sure is faster top speed. The extra gear and horsepower is starting to show. but I am not broken in yet to see fully.
Brakes are improved.
1 factor is the 2016 Toyo Open country tires are not as good as the Bridgestones duelers on the 2011.
Ordered new ones today. Otherwise the 2016 really wins in all areas but I have not hit curves with the same tire. My 2011 was very balanced around curves.

 

Update at 417 miles on the first tank I took on 17.55 gallons of gas penciled out to 23.76 combined 25 /75 percent city highway.
Truck is a winner all the way around!
