    Is anyone else completely dissatisfied with the gas mileage on their 2.7. I wouldn't think that the difference between and AT and MT would matter that much in 2011. Oh wait, 4 speed autos have been around for decades. Maybe we could catch up a little bit in that respect, Toyota! Ethanol gas sucks, too!

    Best mid size by far. Wish it had more feature options (heated seats, leather). the transmission is clunky. I also wish the TRD or had color matched side view mirrors and door handles. The engine ticks too.

    It's actually pretty smooth/quick shifting. You can do the valve body upgrade to improve it... but that's some $ and downtime...

    The TRD Sport does have all that color matched.

    Engine tick is normal with this valve setup, it's supposed to be that way. Normal engine operation...

    Got my 2013 and am LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVIIIINNNNGGGGGG this machine. I don't know what anyone could complain about here. I have had all the other trucks and forget em! engine vibration? Are you kidding? Yes I feel it. It's a truck you pansy!!!! Go buy a ford or dodge and learn what that means. I have those in the garage if you want to see what a 2012 jeep or ford vibration is.. Sheesh.

    This thing feels every bump my wifes grand cherokee '12 overland doesn't feel. The difference? I don't roll 30 degrees on corners and when I go over a real bump the shocks do what they are supposed to and keep it smooth and flat and in control. This isn't a camry/avalon.. Not supposed to absorb and roll with momentum.

    Anyway, happy? Hell yeah.
