About to buy, MT or AT?

yep

 

But its just broke in !!!!!!!!!

 

oooof ... I am a millennial, an old one 32, but still.

 

Only thing I do to these trucks is maintenance/wear items, water pump/ timing belt@90,000mi. Ran into the guy that has my 02, had to do the clutch, 215,000. miles. He says it still runs solid.

 

But everybody likes new toys!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I still miss this one.
No one seriously hurt, thank God!

 

exactly

 

Yeah, that dog will hunt! Nice

 

yea.......the wife's DD..........Lexus GX 460

 

I have an A/T. Would have gone for M/T, but I am lazy and live in the city.
Also, have dogs and they take turns laying their head on the center console. I would tap their nose with my elbow if I had an M/T.
Honestly, I am just lazy to get an M/T now. If I didn't planned to regear the Taco I would have went M/T.


I still rest my hand on the selector though as if it's an M/T. I learned to drive on an M/T since I was 14 so it's just a habit.

PS: Millennial as well. 25 yrs old.

 

MT

 

OP just ask yourself this: what would chicks dig more?

even this little avatar guy throws that B1TCH into first like an O.G!

 

Unless you're in LA style rush out traffic, city life is fine with an MT. 2nd gear winds out to most non-highway speed limits. 3rd gear is past highway limits. All other shifting is a one move shift. Fourth to second. Fifth to third.

 

Did I not say.........

'chic magnet'

 

Resale value lower for a MT... ROFLMAO... wrong!

My 2014 TRD Sport was a MT. I got into an accident (wasn't my fault) where the truck was totaled out, and I got more than the book value because as the rep stated... my truck was rare.

well I’m married and my wife said she hopes.no MT Bc she can’t drive it lol

I’m Def leaning towards the MT !

 

All the more reason, love my manual. I wouldn’t worry about resale

 

I’m a bit biased. I’ve owned and driven the piss out of 3 manual Tacomas:

1st gen 5 speed 4cyl with 305k miles
2nd gen 6 speed 6cyl with 265k miles
3rd gen 6 speed 6cyl with 36k miles

Resale isn’t too much of a factor for me lol. None of these vehicles has ever left me stranded, and I just keep up on regular maintenance per the manual.

 

Another reason why I bought an A/T.
My Fiancee sometimes likes taking the Truck to her work cause it helps her start a conversation with clients and she can't drive M/T. Glad I went with Quicksand too since a lot of people likes the color.
