How to get a manual transmission

I’m still looking for a sport access cab with MT. I’m in socal. The sale guys look at me like I’m crazy and say they don’t make them. The only ones I found are by NY

 

probably going to sell my Colorado-owned 2019 Cav Blue MT ACLB if you're interested - 50k miles. Just had a kid so looking for the same truck in DCSB

 

Western Oregon dealers have manuals (mostly lunar rock, a few white) arriving this month. All claimed. I found one further away unclaimed. All the dealers said it's the last shipment of manuals in their allocations. No more.

 

Thanks but looking for a new one

 

Here’s a manual for sale in Michigan

 

I found one by San Francisco. lunar rock access cab but they have a $5000 market adjustment that I’m not willing to pay. Sale rep told me $47,500 plus tax. If you know one that’s unclaimed lmk please

 

My first Tacoma, I had to put down the deposit, then wait about 4 months for it to come in from their regular orders (I was originally told 6 months).

For my second one, I just lucked out. Made an impulse decision to stop by one more dealership instead of going home, and they happened to have a used one that came in earlier that day, that was exactly what I wanted.

 

I was looking for a new TRD Sport ACLB with manual transmission in the North Texas area, but my local dealer said none were available (or in transit) in the Southeast sales region. I didn't have any luck when I contacted dealerships outside of TX. Everything that was supposed to be at a dealership or in transit was already sold.

I ended up buying a late 2022 production TRD Sport ACLB with 11,000 miles from a dealership north of Pittsburg two weeks ago. I would have preferred a new truck, but with 2023 production winding down, there just aren't many new options.

 

what does that even mean??
“Shift lever must be in low position”
Like when parking? To start my the vehicle? And isn’t the fact that it’s manual quite obvious when the driver would go to shift?
I daily a 2022 TRD Sport manual transmission, these sign seems confusing. Also, the pictographs of the shift pattern is not accurate for a Tacoma of that year.
Funny picture, thanks for sharing!

 

To get moving, as in don’t try to leave a stop sign in any other gear. Probably a generic placard but it’s correct for my year and it wouldn’t surprise me that they wouldn’t have every possibility covered or just grabbed one randomly.
