Just made a deal to trade my 16 auto for a 17 manual.

Cab rides are a much easier, cheaper and hassle free solution for a DD.

 

Maybe for you but once you're married it's cheaper to keep er'

 

It's funny you say that. I traded my tundra in for my current tacoma. Should have kept it.

 

Congratulations OP, you will soon be apart of an elite group of Manual Transmission Drivers!

 

Sat in a Tundra PRO. Didn't care for the interior. Just feels about 8 years outdated but I believe it is a proven and reliable vehicle. I'd probably be happier in a Tundra right now BUT if I'm going to take a trade loss it would be for a new Silverado. I'm just not there yet. Would be happy to meet for a beer .

 

.
$3,000 TO $4,000 (total real cost) with an Apples to Apples Taco trade for a 2016 to a 2017 is about right and not too bad.

When the difference gets higher ... that is a problem.
.

 

Looks like that was a nice truck.

 

Yeah I hav had the same problem.....was corrected a little by the TSB rev1 update. Not perfect but better. I live in Texas....flat land....

 

My auto doesn't give me any headaches.

 

If you are happy with it then great. I am not which is way I'm getting rid of a 11 month old truck. I have driven 2 other 3rd Gen autos and they all acted the same. I challenge anyone that says they don't have the gear hunting issues to post a 5 minute video of the tach with the cruise set above 75 mph.

 

i have that issue not even at 75 mph.

mine does it even at 55-60 mph. it may as well be a 4 speed auto because it honestly never sees the higher gears.

it feels as if you have the handbrake on while your driving.

i would love to trade mine in for a manual but i theres something inside my head telling me not to give toyota more money on a third gen just because of their poor decision and design on a transmission. especially when the dealer wont even look at the truck and wont flash the rev.1 update for me.


congrats on the 17 though

 

I won't say zero complaints, but I've also not been bothered enough to take it in for the TSB. It can wait until the 5k service.

In other news, I had a chili dog for lunch. It was good. I'm glad I made that choice. Figured I'd better share that info for others who may be wondering what to do about lunch.

 

I feel your pain...your experiences mirror mine exactly. Time will tell, the truck may last 250,000 miles but I just can't get over it.

 

Yeah but you have low standards so...

 

TSB smoothed things out for me and made it much nicer. I thought it was generally fine before, but the TSB added smoothness that I didn't know I didn't have. Recommended!

What kinds of chili dog? Pics? Bun lift specs?

 

Oscar Meyer dog on a Martin's potato roll hotdog bun, brown mustard, homemade smoked brisket chipotle chili. It didn't last long enough for pics to be taken.

 

Is it me or is that bed extra short?

 

It's cold in Illinois. Shrinkage.

 

Maybe it's just me but I've always thought the SB looked funny. I was hauling 16 footers there which I don't recommend. I about couldn't make it out of the parking lot due to the wide swing the boards made. Like I said I'm going to miss my LB but at least I'll have an extra foot in the garage now.

 

same here, almost 11k on it.
