    So I went ahead and upgraded from the 2013 Tacoma SR5 4 cyl access cab (which for two years I had serious buyers remorse), to my new 2015 TRD Sport 6 cyl Crew Cab 4x4 Long Bed and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier with my decision.

    I did the same thing. 2010 4-cyl access cab to 2014 6-cyl double cab. Serious buyers remorse with the 2010. I had a first gen (1998) 4 cyl regular cab and loved it. But I felt the second gen was underpowered- especially on the interstate/traveling.

    I hear ya, man. We do a lot of camping and fishing and I remember having a buddy with a 1st gen 4 banger and remember as teens that truck being enough truck for us and our gear but now at age 32 the gen 2, 4 banger flat out didn't have enough balls. With frequent trips from So Cal to the eastern sierras and Yosemite I had enough and upgraded. Excellent choice.
