    oh yeah. WTF do they make a 2wd pre runner? 2wd trucks just don’t make any sense.

    There's a reason they tilt forward like that. When you flip them around, that completely defeats the purpose of the headrests. They're supposed to prevent whiplash. Hope you don't get in an accident...

    I easily get 22-25 mine CONSISTENTLY. And I have the biggest rig offered from Yota.

    I'll agree with you on the heated mirrors for sure.

    Rear disc brakes would be nice but drums seems to be doing ok but one problem I have is seems like interior(roof) is poorly insulated. Whenever it rains it's pretty dam loud. Other then that I absolutely love my tacoma.

    Disk brakes would suck. There is a good reason why Tacoma has the best in class stopping distance, and the drums contribute quite nicely to that reason. Disks offer a higher chance of warpage which leads to brake shake, which I KNOW everyone bitches about. The only advantage to them is that they are easier to work with.

    I've never had an issue with the roof sounding like it's not insulated. Though I'm just barely putting my Taco through its first rain.

    I don't like the TuRD stickers on the Tacoma. but they were easy to remove. Never been a fan of any stickers on a truck (or car). especially the 4X4 or OFF Road...or Z71...or FX4...bla...bla...bla...

    I also don't much like the 4X4 on the rear mud guards. again, an easy fix with a set of plain ones (in my near future).

    Don't feel the need to wear a pseudo outdoorsman personality on my truck. I suppose some feel the need to advertise their life (or pseudo one) and beliefs on their vehicle, I don't. I guess it's why I have no bumper stickers...or tattoos. :D

    Heated mirrors,power slide rear window,rear disc brakes,adjustable pedals,cargo lights,nice alloy wheel 18" not the crap chrome clad that came on a $ 36 large truck. And while you are at it heated mirrors would be great. Did I mention rear disc brakes?

    my last tank(tank i’m on my light is on, came on when i pulled in drive way last) got like 300. witch is like my worst tank ever. well worst ever was towing about 100 miles and a lot of stop and go. but 300 miles is my worst tank not towing. i have seen 378 before with stock tires. and have seen 360 with my nittos.


    ya i agree we should not have to do them because they some come like that.

    i’d really like to know?

    i ask because on a truck there is no real gain. i think other mid size of them, yet we have the best stopping distance in class.(mid size trucks)
