2022 Tacoma

I still dont truly enjoy the auto, honestly if it bothered you before it will bother you still.

Aftermarket tunes make it a little better to drive, but not ground breaking.

 

My 23 doesnt bother me with the shifting. I came from an 09 v6 auto. I have noticed the shifting on hills on the interstate. But it is a 6 speed so the mileage is a bit better than the old 5 speed. Mostly midwest driving tho so no mtns.

Also, maybe try to get a 23. Toyota just bumped down their financing to 2.99 for new ones and 2.99 is pretty dang good rn

 

Lol, yeah. Get a manual.

 

s4 (s5 on interstate) and ect on literally 100% of the time.
Smoothest, most predictable, most solid transmission ive ever owned, shifts like brand new at 100k miles, tows a boat every single weekend.
oh, and a 20/21mpg tank average every single tank.
Dont be scared!

 

100% this.

 

I have a 22 off road and recently got a OTT tune and it does help, but if you hated it that much to trade it in and get rid of the vehicle entirely, probably just get a manual.

 

I paid $400 for a OTT tune.

 

Get a manual … trust me u will be much happier .

 

I have a 22 Off Road - they all hunt. It really doesn't bother me now that I am used to it. People say in the mountains it's worse. But if you had a 17 and you hated it then you know what you are in for.
