    Sometimes i think the mods make these fake accounts and these troll posts to get people to talk shit and then ban them. Thats my conspiracy theory! :crapstorm:

    Can we see pics of both of your trucks?
    20160416_091053.jpg
    Here's my 16 and my 04, the 16 is hands down bigger and better than my 04.

    But then again, I dont work construction and made sure I liked the truck before I bought it.

    Recommend next time you do the same.

    If you’re buying any midsize truck for construction, you’re going to be disappointed.

    The automatic transmission in it sucks. This whole ‘it needs to learn’ nonsense needs to go. It’s programmed, and the ECUA calibrations aren’t drastic enough to make that kit not be troublesome in some applications.

    You should have test driven. Or researched. Welcome to TW :thumbsup:

    My taco is garbage.
    When I drive backwards I can not see well in the back because of the truck bed.

    Thank you so much. You saved me from having to say it. I work construction and here we have a f250 diesel and a ram 2500 with a Cummins. I love my 18 Tacoma sport and I like the hood too. And the 6 speed manual is just fun to drive

    I’m 6’3” and do not hit my head upon entering or exiting my 2018 DCSB OR...

    Is the tranny/engine combo perfect? Nope. But take it off road and you will love it. Drove a “moderate” trail today in 2wd the entire time with the most minimal of wheel spin on only one section of loose rock. Love this truck! Hail damage and all ha.

    Maybe get a Honda Ridgeline next time... you can hide your stuff in the “trunk”!

    Try a different cup holder. Plenty to choose from.

    Buying a truck without a test drive is like marrying a virgin. You have to test the fit and try out the many positiins you could put them through before making the final decision.
