To buy 2017, 2016 or a 2014

Same with bc. Mine was 42 k for a brand new trd off-road.

 

2014

 

Get the 2017, but get them to knock another $2K off it or just buy new. The 14 looks like the front end has been totalled a put back together using older parts.

Way more stuff available and coming for the 3rd gens for upgrades and mods. The 2nd Gen is done.

Also that 2nd Gen interior:

 

My thoughts are, go for the 14 DCLB. My reasoning is that it has the 4.0 L, a little extra power, the only thing I wish I had on my 2010 DCSB off road version is the long bed. Also it is a little cheaper. I drive my cars till the wheels fall of and glue them back on and keep going. If you are making a long term (over 300 km) plan for this. I would go with the 4.0 L engine. But ride in them and see which you like and which one feels right to you.

 

2014, the engine and transmission are much better on the 2nd gen Tacomas

 

lol. take a look at who is saying no to the 3rd gen.....


2nd jenners....

 

I would go with the 16 or 17 unless you like the retro old school style of the 14 and don't mind not having any of the technology from the last decade.

 

Yah.....like drum brakes.....oh wait

 

Without a doubt 2017 Sport MT. I have this truck and love it and highly recommend it!! I was in your shoes, drove a used 2015 Sport MT and then a 2017 Sport MT - hands down winner was the '17.

 

I'll go with the 17 or a brand new one - my 2c!!!

 

What am I missing out on?

 

Hmm... seems like 16-8 for 3rd Gen

 

The 2014 is an automatic, so that's right out. (Unless you absolutely need the 6 ft bed.) Big difference between 2016 and 2017 is the power rear window. But, I'd also be comparing against a new 2018, too.

 

Get the silver one

 

Haha for sure

 

I would do this

 

For this price I'm getting the Toyota dash cam and 3M applied - rolled into the 42k price.

It's a no-brainer OP.
