    Exactly my thought. The TRD pro I drove was 70% noticeable, also drove a 15 sport and vibrations were almost nonexistent.

    FYI any 6 lug tacoma made after october 2013 uses the 3+1 leaf pack in the rear... the TRD pro is no different. They will all exhibit some amount of driveline vibe under heavy acceleration.

    one of the several reasons for getting rid of my 2014 offroad was vibrations in the wheel and pedal, my pro has no vibrations at all...

    Not disagreeing with you there, if you read the procedure it's like using duck tape on wet paint :( But I have a suspicion that the new models don't have this "fix" implemented at the plant... we'll see a 2015 TSB for this in a few years (same level of half-assedness)

    All of these trucks do that if you drive like an idiot.

    It's an underpowered pickup truck, not a camaro.

    So accelerating from 20-35mph and feeling a vibration is driving like an idiot.

    FAIL

    WOT from a stop? Was the test drive similar to your daily driving habits?

    Put an AAL in the rear if it doesn't meet your appearance expectations.

    There are some here and xru who are faster than said Camaro. You don't have to drive like an idiot for it to vibrate. Just gentile acceleration on some trucks shakes the shit out of it. Get out of here if you have nothing useful to contribute.
