    Have been lurking on here reading through the abundance on info on the Gen 3 Tacos.

    Figured I'd actually create an account and introduce myself. I am hoping to pull the trigger on a Gen 3 TRD Sport w/ manual trans sometime in the next week or so.

    I definitely will. The one I was going for originally was a 2019 in midnight black w/ MT, however last week they received a 2017 TRD sport w/ MT in Barcelona red on a trade-in. Going to see how much they would let the '17 go for, but from what I've been seeing the price difference never makes good sense to go used.

    Yes,always had a manual in my Tacomas. This is number 4. The 6 speed manual is by far the nicest.
