    Great review! Thanks a ton for the best review I have seen yet on the 2016 TRD OR.

    I have one question that I am hoping that you can answer for me. The ECT PWR button, does this stay on if the vehicle is shut off and then turned on again? Or do you have to re-enable this every time you turn the truck back on again? The reason I ask is that I have a Subaru with the SI Drive and I am so sick of having turning it to Sport # mode every time I turn the car off and back on again just to get it to accelerate like I want it to.

    Sunroof fixed. I guess it had to be initialized similar to the power windows.

    Seems ok for now.

    He didn't go into detail of how the sunroof is done but did mention for teh auto windows you have to hold the button in the up position for so many seconds.

    Also should have been done during inspection/customer prep. Not a big deal to me.

    Good looking truck OP and congrats. I just saw one in person yesterday in SLC and much better in person. Im going to get the new seals around the doors on the 3rd gen and put them on my 2nd gen to quite the ride a little bit and also that rubber seal in between the bed and the cab. Anything helps, enjoy the new ride

    I got a pamphlet from my dealer that shows the A-TRAC system is only available with the M/T. That can't be right...

    Yes that is correct, because you don't get terrain assist/crawl mode with the manual I believe. They don't call it A-TRAC in the auto because what you get is better than A-TRAC.

    This. Manual OR gets A-TRAC. Auto OR gets Multi-Terrain-Select (aka atrac with a dial).

    Very nice looking truck. Not trying to rain on your parade, but 17 MPG on the highway for a truck that is supposed to be around 24MPG is very alarming. I will be curious to see if that improves.

    Reset the MPG computer when you are on some open freeway sometime. What are you getting?

    Shouldn't you be asking what is tax rate and licensing fees are is in the same sentence? Otherwise OTD has no value.

    OP, thanks for all the info.

    He's not getting 17mpg on the highway. I think we covered that.

    yeah, ppl are silly and assume that MPG represents everything about the truck.
