    I couldn't handle the constant gear hunting on the highway and always being in too high of a gear around town (TSB flashes did not help). So...I traded my 2017 TRD OR for a 2015 TRD Pro with 19k miles on her last night. I'm going to miss some of the features/creature comforts of the third gen but as soon as I started up that ol' 4.0 and got on the highway, it felt like home again.

    Nice. Good luck with the truck.

    Take any hit financially or was it a wash?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    My neighbor does this yearly. He will own a brand new Tacoma for a year and then trade it in. The dealer offers more than what he paid for it and gets a new one. He says his payments go down $20-30 every year from the trade in. I figure in 20 years Toyota will be paying him to own the truck. :rofl:

    That was a good price for the '15 Pro with hardly any miles.

    Great job and sweet inferno!

    I seriously considered getting a manual 2017 for that reason but I like my trucks to have autos. I like my sports cars with a nice manual but I like to be lazy when I get into my truck.

    I've driven a combination of manuals and autos over the last 20 years and after sitting in rush hour stop and go traffic for well over an hour I kinda like having an auto in the truck.

    I thought i might like the auto also for that reason, but having the manual is awesome. Almost as fun to drive as my 350z.

    How is the new one cheaper?
    Longer loan term?
    Less equipment ?
