    MT owners are like engineers. How do you know someone’s an engineer? They’ll tell you immediately.

    Source: Drive an MT and am an engineer.

    Not one of those pleb civil engineers tho

    Hey hun i heard you're looking for a new Tacoma. You really should just get a manual even if there's an 8 week wait from your dealer. I'd hop on a plane if you need one sooner and fly out to Denver. Make a trip out of it

    Jealousy will get you know where. In all seriousness though 2nd generation tacoma go automatic, 3rd generation manual is the best way to go if your capable of driving manual.

    I really liked how the manual performed. Unfortunately the torn meniscus in my left knee didn’t.

    The solution isn't a manual transmission since it's bolted to a Sienna engine

    There really is no compelling reason to get a MT.....other than the Tacos AT.

    Lol, my dad has an fj80 with the personalized plate "trakta" - my 2nd gen taco is more like a tractor than that at everything but idle though (he's got the 1HD-T)

    I'm sorry what?

    Let's compare number of MT threads to number of underpowered drivetrain threads.
