    Absolutely hate my OEM all weather mats. Hardly any coverage and I was getting crap from my feet all around my carpets and the passenger mat would push up towards the firewall every time someone rode with me. Now I have Huskey Weatherbeaters and the dirty carpet and sliding passenger mat issues are over.

    Story of my life is above. Bought a tacoma and was stoked.

    Joined this forum, decided I hated it, the tranny sucked, and all sorts of other issues. Also went from wanting a 2" levelling kit to a full bore $1000+ kit lol

    Time to delete TW

    Just curious, after driving all three what was it about the sport that made it the right choice for you (vs the OR). I've never driven a sport, just the OR. For me personally the OR seems the way to go since for the same money as the sport you get the rear locker-- But I'm curious what it is about the sport that made that the right choice for you.

    Oh I commend you on the manual trans--good choice!!

    To be honest, and this is personal opinion, I dont like the look of the OR. I am not a fannof the unpainted fenders and I do like the look of the hood scoop....even though it serves no function.

    I also had to honest with myself and realize that my chance of ever taking it off road is slim to maybe none....and if I do, it will probably be on some trail. Im kot a hardcore offroader to the extent that my Sport 4x4 cant make it.

    Thanks for the response, makes sense.

    Just curious did you notice any real difference in the ride comfort and handling of the three on the street, over potholes and the normal road conditions?

    Or flat out denied and given back to you with no remedy...making your time at the dealer a complete waste......

    Love the truck. Awesome color! My rental from Toyota has been a sport and I have enjoyed it! Good luck and safe travels!

    Unfortunately it not just a few guys on the board, as you can see even Consumer Reports is giving Below Average for the Tacoma while every other single Lexus and Toyota Model finished Above Average.

    I really did not. I think if I drove them back to back then I could notice a difference but since they were about a week apart it felt the same to me.
