    Are we sure that there aren't upgrade packages available on these models with the upgraded JBL? I thought I read the limited will come standard with premium audio and the others won't. I also thought I read that tech/audio upgrade packages were available on TRD models. I could be wrong though.

    SWAG but, maybe to do with price points & what TM thinks its customers are willing to pay based on vehicle configuration?

    I'm with you, audio (and more) would be nice stand alones.

    Stupid corporate drones. Manual transmission being a premium/enthusiast choice these days, they should allow optioning it to the max. I myself would gladly pay extra for the JBL option.

    I guess they are doing us a favor by offering manual at all.

    They don't make enough manuals to justify upgrading them.
