2016 DCSB TRD OR - First Impressions

Where do you live where you had to drive 400 miles?

 

Northern New Mexico.

 

Ah, great looking truck!

 

I have not measured the length yet vs. the 2nd Gen, but I like the throw feel better.

 

Gorgeous truck qnlya and congrats! Thanks for sharing pictures. That's the exact truck I am getting, minus the color, with most likely the exact same suspension UCA's and leafs. Can't wait to see pictures and a new review of the truck with the suspension installed. When are you having it done?

I am pretty dead set on MGM but every time I see pictures of quicksand on here I have second thoughts. Damn you! I like that it's different. No matter where I go around town I see Tacoma's everywhere. You will be hard pressed to find quicksands roaming the roads for a few years.

 

Sweet color. Congrats

 

Very unique color enjoying the reads on the new 3rd gens but I am sticking to my 2015 for the long haul!

 

Very nice OP. Great pic's! That color looks awesome. I'd love the 6 spd manual, but I'm torn because my wife can't drive a stick and I'd like her to be able to drive the Tacoma in a pinch.

I look forward to your post lift/tires report.

 

If it has tech and tow package, it is Identical to what I have on order. Color and all.
Looking forward to seeing pics of lift and tires.

 

Yes, Tech and Tow packages and the damn rear step they were unable to delete. Anybody want to buy a rear step?

 

Just changed the oil. Yes, changed the oil. I always change the oil first day on new vehicles. Easier to get to the cartridge filter unit than on my 2012 4Runner, still a pain to drop the skid plate when it was so easy on the 1GR-FE 2nd Gens.

 

You picked the right color for where you live. The truck matches the sandy hills behind it perfectly. Maybe the aliens won't see you now

 

Have you tested the auto too? Curious how the manual feels from a dead stop compared to the auto. I would guess the manual feels more powerful off the line but I could be wrong there.

 

beautiful truck & scenery...I'm jealous of both, lol!!

 

i love that color. Im really liking these more and more as they come out.

 

Is the manual cheaper than the auto?

 

Yes

7545 - TRD OFF ROAD DOUBLE CAB 4X4 V6 M/T - $ 29738 | $ 32100
7544 - TRD OFF ROAD DOUBLE CAB 4X4 V6 AUTO - $ 31249 | $ 33730

 

Man, if Toyota only offered up the manual in the long bed, I'd go down to the bank right now and get qualified for a loan. I'd have a nice $10k down payment ready too. Toyota are you listening? There is the demand!

 

truly offensive that Toyota is not offering the Access Cab Off-Road with manual. Assholes in suits making asshole decisions.

 

I did not realize they don't put them in the access cab long bed either. I just always wanted one in the DCLB. That really sucks!
