New Member Looking for New 2011 Tacoma

Hello Tacoma World,

I am a new member to this forum and I am looking for knowledge and advice on my next purchase of a 2011 Toyota Tacoma truck.

On the basic side, I am looking for a 2011 Tacoma 4X4 V6 MT Dbl-Cab.

I am searching online as well as local dealers and today have test drive a very nice TRD Off-Road model with basically most of the bell and whistles. Off course the out-of-door pricing reflects all the benefits as well totaling to roughly $34,859.

I have never owned a truck so I am new to the technical benefit between standard, Sport, and Off-Road. The only information I was able to attain so far between Sport and Off-Road is that the Sport model offer a more smoother ride on-road?

My use and driving preference are as follow: First off I drive very aggressively on-road. I don't really do much off-road activity but I do go fishing often and do get into area where 4X4 feature can be of benefit. I am a fan of performance but I would also prefers a smoother on-road ride.

I would like to know a brief summary of comparision between standard 4X4 V6 MT DBL-CAB vs the enhance TRD Sport & TRD Off-Road options.

Thank you in advance for any suggestion and comment
Cheers,
