Manual 4x4?

Been trying to find a 2nd gen manual 4x4 but can't find them anywhere, do they even exist?

 

Be patient, took me four months. Try expanding your search radius.

 

Yes they do. I've got a 4wd 6spd 2013. Took me 8 months to find the right truck.

 

Be patient
Good luck

 

Yep, I got lucky. My brother was planning to sell his in 2019, but when me and my wife decided to go on a road trip in 2018, he sold it to me a year early. I paid dead center between trade in value and private party, and I have the history of the truck back to 2009. (truck is an '07).

'07 v6, 6MT DCSB

 

They do exist. Took me about year to find mine, 13 double cab v6 manual with off-road package. Be patient one will turn up.

 

In my honest opinion, if going for a V6, give me an automatic every day. I've test driven a 6 speed with a V6 and the magic just isn't there. My little regular cab 4x4 is hardly anything special, but I can make it move out of it's own way if I get the revs high enough.

 

In stock form, I agree with you. Get rid of the clutch fluid accumulator, and get it tuned (the latter of which I'll be doing before winter) to remove the rev-hang. Then you've got a different animal.

The gear ratios still suck, but eh, I like driving stick so I deal.

 

I remember when I was looking at used Tacomas (1st and 2nd gens), 4x4 was my #1 priority followed by manual trans. Basically wouldn't settle for anything other than those two together.

Had a hell of a time finding 2nd gens nearby with that combo, but damn near every 1st gen met the criteria lol.

 

I totally disagree. People complain about the 6MT all the time, but I don’t get it. Feels much peppier to me than the automatics. I’ve had 3 and love them all. It’s a truck transmission, never going to shift like a sports car, but with some MT-90 it cleans up nice.

To the OP, took me forever to find mine, but I’m glad I waited, I love it.

 

I think the accumulator and the rev hang turn off a lot of people. Myself included. Bypassing the accumulator made driving the truck MUCH nicer. I can't wait to get rid of the rev hang, then it'll act more like a cable actuated throttle. Sign me up.

 

They do exist.
I have a 2nd gen with a manual.
You will find one.

 

I couldn’t find one so I built one.

 

I am on my third 2nd Gen 6m TRD OR AC. Sold the first, regretted it, bought another and promptly wrecked it. Searched high and low for the one I have now. Took me 6 months, had to commit to it sight unseen, and fly out to Montana to pick it up. I absolutely love this configuration and have not found anything I would replace it with...yet. Good luck, you wont be sorry if you find one!

 

The one in your avatar? I just love the single cab Tacomas.

 

What is the shifter pattern on the 6MT?

 

There are more than a few of them out there, there just aren't a ton of us lining up to give them up yet.

 

They're out there. I have one but saw numerous examples while looking for mine. PA/VA/DC/MD/WV area. Drove a few too.
