    Are you like, a test pilot or something??

    Anyways.....it’s fair warning.....that racing is dangerous shit, and calls for caution for sure! Especially when it’s only being developed. Incredible speeds are reached when these Tacos hit the track!

    No problem!

    That racing cap might blow at any minute. Watch your revs on the track!

    Power is just fine. The Tacoma is no muscle car, but it's got more than enough grunt for everything I've needed so far. Passing on an uphill while loaded down with 800-900 pounds of passenger was nothing.

    I have been very pleasantly surprised with its handling. My Tacoma does WAY better on twisty roads than a pickup has a right to. Maybe I'm just easily impressed (previous vehicles included various large Ford trucks and a Honda Pilot which understeered like a pig), but it grips and moves pretty well. I do have the TRD Sport, though, so it's basically a race car /s.

    Shifting is good. I like to drive in "manual" (I think it's fun), but the stock programming is just fine. It kicks down a gear maybe a bit more often than I'd like, but otherwise it's good to go.

    It looks super cool. Aggressive without looking like it's trying too hard, but still looks like a classic truck. Very cool!

    unpopular opinion: I think my truck is almost perfect, infotainment system aside. I don't have an issue with the shift points or the power, or the seating position or anything...it's probably unhealthy how much I love this thing

    Pretty much. Toyota builds a phenomenal truck, but they haven't quite nailed down infotainment yet.

    It’s an unpopular opinion, but you have the best user name on this site.

    I rock the stock stereo. I find a little distortion gives the music a little more power.

    Whoa. My 1000th post was regarding an epiphany (more of a revelation, actually)

    I think the stock gas cap holder is fine, so are the radio knobs. I've never fallen out of my seat cause the radio knobs were smooth or been completely dumbstruck trying to figure out what to do with my loose gas cap.

    Well, I liked my 2016 Sport with a hood scoop and I like my 2019 stock Pro even better, even if I could have saved thousands modifying an Off-Road. Tried to get stuck in the snow and the stock Goodyear tires never let it happen. VooDoo blue is a sweet color when driving in poor conditions!
