    2nd gen looks better, especially the 12-15s. 3rd gen has too much going on.

    Traded my 2nd gen for a 3rd gen. Initially thought "big mistake." Then hooked up a trailer. Wondered "why didn't I do this sooner?!"

    I had a 00 I bought new which Toyota bought back in 08. I did like the 08 over the 00 immediately. Mainly power I think. I just bought a 17 a couple weeks ago but haven't got around to selling my 08 yet. I just took it in and had the leaf springs replaced under the recall and it rides so much better - actually thought about keeping it now. Plus the 17 is an auto and this is the first auto I have ever had - not as easy to get used to. No need for 2 pickups and would lose a lot on selling the new one so I reckon the 08 will be for sale in a week or two.

    Maybe you should hold onto the 2008 for a while, to be sure you can live with the 2017. It appears most disappointments with the 3rd gen is after a couple of months of ownership, when the problems really show up.
