Poll: Which Trim/Transmission is your Tacoma? (was Which flavor is your Taco?)

That’s a large part of me being back in a Tacoma… They’re designed to sacrifice themselves for the safety of the occupants. It made insurance less expensive, too; $50K to replace a truck is a lot cheaper than $250K+ in medical bills.

 

I didn't set out to choose the trim level. The trim level chose me. That is, to get a manual transmission Access Cab in Army Green, it had to be a TRD Sport.

 

I waited 4mo for mine to come in. 21 TRD OR MT with tech and LED lights. The MT was a must. Long wait but worth it to me.

 

And a thexthy beast it is!

Mine chose me, but in a different manner. I was looking for an OR with a stick, found a Pro listed & priced as such. Called the seller, not to buy, but make them aware of the error. The said they could edit the description but the price was already set & offered to sell it as such. Not all good intentions are without reward.

 

Where'd you get that hood decal on the 2nd Taco? My all white needs some contrasts.

 

CbOY , he used to be on here a lot. Get on a sticker and decal thread, you will find something.

 

2016 but still runs great and is a beast on the trails!

 

TRD Off-Road manual

 

Out of an entire field she must of found the only tree.

 

My favorite taco is pink taco. Here’s my 2nd fave taco 400+ miles south of the border:

 

It was a head on, I saw it coming. I just kept moving to the shoulder, slowly, then she lost it. Did a 360*, then hit me.

 

Number one choice for me was a TRD off road DCLB 6M. Not available here and no 6M DCLB's.

Second choice, TRD Sport DCLB with only one trans choice, Auto. Had to have a long box.

Vast majority of Tacoma's I see here are DCLB TRD Sports. Toyota does not sell 2WD Tacoma's here.

 

**Charts revised 7.17.22**

Charts of current poll results, sorted from highest to lowest. After making the first chart with overall results, I made two others showing trim-only and transmission-only out of curiosity. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

*Since the poll started without transmission choices for the SR Trim, chart shows SR (prior to option), SR-A and SR-M as three distinct categories.

** Since I erroneously added SR5-Manual, original SR5 (prior to option) and SR5-Auto are combined in the chart.

Will revise periodically if there is any interest. 230 responses asof 7/17/22.
Thanks to everyone participating.

 

walked into that one, didn’t I?

OK, I’ll play… baked, grilled, or fried?

 

Short bed Access Cab? I’d love to see one!

 

You do realize your poll only represents Tacoma world 3rd gen ownership, not Tacoma ownership overall.
Maybe back in 2019 I saw a breakout, from Toyota published in one of the media outlets, that showed the sales breakout by model.
If I remember correctly, SR5 was the leader by far and between SR5 and SR was over 60%. Next was OR at 20% then Sport, Limited and Pro we're the remaining 20%.
I do remember the Pro was around 6%.

 

Yes; this poll came out of a discussion amongst 3rd gen owners, and was intended for TW members with that gen.

 

the poll really only represents the 3rd gen ownership willing to participate in a model-specific forum, which is an even tinier subset of total sales.

what i'm most interested in long term for this poll is the manual/automatic distribution-- it currently indicates that the manual drivers are more interested in forum participation than the automatic drivers.

 

SR5 has been around for decades in their compact 2 and 4wd pickups. Its just a good all around mid size truck now, except for serious off road use.

 

In my neck of the woods in South Carolina, the overwhelming Tacoma I see is SR5 for sure and almost all Tacomas here are 2WD.
And, on a Saturday at Lowe's, those trucks are loaded with all the do it yourself goodness that they sell.
