    So would a 017 MT also read A04D? and that meaning it has the 4.3's same as 016 model MT's?

    Why do you think everyone cares about this? 99% of shoppers won't know or care? If the 4.3 results in higher highway rpm I am glad I got the 3.9.

    Agreed! They must of realized they messed up bad to make this change in the 2nd year into it.

    Clearly you aren't a truck guy/mechanic. The 4.3 is a much better option between the 2 for a variety of reasons.

    I reckon this would have been easily noticed by Smitty's test drive?

    I have not driven a MT 3rd gen, so I have nothing to compare to. But It seems that kind of gearing change would be very noticeable.

    I think my local dealer has 2 x '17s. I should go drive one.

    While slightly better acceleration in low RPMs would be nice, I wouldn't say it's on my top list of things I want improved on. (probably because i'm not an off road guy)

    My Taco is my first pickup, whats the fascination with power sliding window? I'm TX so it hasn't been cool enough to ride with windows open yet, I would think the rear window doesn't do much for letting air in?

    Tacoma owners that tow care. Tacoma owners that off-road care. Those ratios can and do matter.

    If anyone does research before they purchase 5 years down the road, they will choose 2017 over 2016 every time, unless, of course there is a huge price break that makes it worth giving up the improved ratio and power sliding window. Who's going to eat that price break? 2016 owners.

    Well, this is pretty huge. That low end torque is needed for off roading. A month into my brand new Tacoma and this BS rises.

    If info is correct, the 2017 manual will get a 3.90 diff ratio and the auto's get the 4.3
