    I thought I could get by without a pickup. I sold it after buying a new 4Runner.

    Nice thing about the gen 4 Tacoma and gen 6 4Runner is the inventory for some quality used 3rd gen and 5th gen vehicles. Only put about 20 miles on a friend's 24 OR Tacoma, no offroad though, and just reaffirmed my decision to stay with my gen 3. Just rolled over 100,000 without any issues. Wait...I did have to replace my gas cap, it stopped clicking when closing it.

    i hope you enjoy your truck, truly.

    what about the 4g driving experience made you dislike it versus your 3g?

    I've driven a 2019 Cayman GTS 4cyl 2.5T before. It's not as gutless vs their flat-six 3.0T or V6 3.0T or V6 3.6T as people "imagine." But that's what most online do, is read C&D articles and paper specs, and imagine.

    I test drove the 4G, Canyon 4cyl 2.7T and drove my buddy's Colorado, and ended up with a RR with Ford ProCal tune. While the RR certainly has more pep, it's primary benefit is freeway entrance and passing ... and honestly offers ZERO other daily driving speed-related benefit vs my old 2G TRDOR with that sweet 8s 0-60 time.

    I'll be fair and start with what I did like. The ride, very nice ride, but I have 2" lift with 33's, so there is that. The seats were also very nice, much better than my gen 3. They put some thought into what we have been adding, aftermarket wise, like trailer tow controller, extra switch banks for accessories. The crawl and mts are there in the offroad which I appreciate. What I did not like, and this is subjective, is the rear seat flipping up. I prefer the back of the rear bench to fold down as it provides a platform for the pups and hunting gear. I do not like the way the hood is designed; it slopes down in a way that just seems unnatural, but maybe you just get used to it. It does roll in corners a little, not as planted as mine, but maybe after suspension and lift that would go away. Too many electronics, I thought the truck stalled while starting from a stop to go through a busy intersection, thought the transmission slipped or something, but my buddy told me it was that sensor in the front, apparently the computer thought I was too close to the car in front of me and unilaterally cut my power. He said you can turn that feature off. Overall, it has similar lines as Chevy, I do not think it's an attractive truck. The truck feels lighter and cheaper, I know that is not very scientific, but the doors, tailgate and the truck overall just feel lighter, cheaper in a sense, fragile if you will. Govt red tape has caused manufactures to look for more ways to lessen the weight of new vehicles for economy and change proven platforms to appease the emissions police and I believe it continues to dilute the quality of today's vehicles. Lastly, I am not a turbo fan, having owned one. The warmup and cool down along with discouraging prolonged idling and the potential for extra cost if you ever need to replace it is a deal breaker for me. Heat is a turbos nemesis, and I live in the southwest with brutal summers. I know the cost of a new trucks is a personal decision, but these are pretty steep. My apologies for the long-winded post. By the way my buddy likes his gen 4
