    SC w/urd pulley, afe cai, URD LT's, TRD cat back. 375hp. Custom logos, tonneau cover, westin bar with piaa lights, aero force gauges, custom front air dam, Westin step bars.
    First and foremost...Toyota, WTH is the deal with no frikken outside temp gauge in the 2015????? I had to put my own in and it certainly looks like an afterthought.

    Anyway...for whatever reason the 2010 seems to have more zip.
    2015 gets better mpg by 2 mpg's. Might be the front chin spoiler I put on?
    2015 certainly feels more solid then my 2010 ever did.
    TRD Pro has more ground clearance, even with 1.5 up on bilstein shocks on 2010.
    2015 has leather...mo betta then the 2010 fabric.
    Ride quality...similar but prefer the TRD Pro.
    Like the big screen back up camera on the 2015 better.
    Liked the 6 disc changer of the 2010, but worth the change of the blue tooth setup in 2015.
    2015 has similar exhaust setup with afe cai, TRD catback, but I went with urd long tube headers vs the Doug Thorley LT's on the 2010 and it's got the dreaded drone. Ugh!

    Overall the 2015 is an improvement, but that missing 20hp is a bummer! I'll have to wait 9 months for a 50 degree night down in Phx and see what the aeroforce gauge has to say, but the butt dyno says...I'm slower. And after swapping the TRD supercharger over to the 2015, I had to remove the aftermarket oil cooler and trans cooler for it to fit...great deal for someone needing them, but the supercharger installer said he had to remove the factory oil cooler off the 2010 anyway, so it and the oem trans cooler went on the 2015.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    I am interested what you had to do to keep your charger, I was under the impression that it could not be flashed back to stock.

    That is true. The dealership said I would need a new ecm at a cost of $900. Found a used one on eBay for $150. There were several for similar pricing.
    Time I got done I spent $1300 for refurbishing the TRD blower (it had 135,000 miles on it and had a part inside that per pse had been installed improperly when new and needed to be replaced), $1000 to the dealer for doing the swap and flashing the 2015, $150 for the used ecm and $50 for some new plugs.
    So roughly $2500 to use my now refurbished TRD blower which pse says should be good for 150,000 miles, which shoukd get me to around 200,000 miles on this 2015 TRD Pro which is my plan and a whole lot cheaper then the $6500 cost of a new magnuson setup installed.
    Maybe by then (3-4 years) GM will have had the Colorado ZR2 with that diesel out long enough to have the price affordable and some good tuners for it where it's bumped the power up 75hp and knocking down 30+ mpg.
    Or Toyota has their own diesel plan going or a way to get some power and mileage out of their new V6?
    The mech doing the sc swap was not impressed at all with Toyotas new V6, and with its lack of zip or a way to get some power out of it, no way was I going to the 3rd gen.

    Good on fuel in comparison haha about 30 peecent cheaper. Lol.

    2500 to keep the TRD blower sounds great to me haha!
