    Absolutely. It’s a great truck. People like to nitpick but overall I’ve been very happy with mine.

    No issues at all with shifting. Grille is easily changed if you don't like it. 3rd tows better than my 2nd dog did probably because of the 18% more hp that leaves 2nd behind.
    2nd dash looks like fisher price toy truck.

    Nothing wrong with a 4 banger. Not my cup of tea, I think the Tacoma is too big for it really, but I'd rock one if I had to.

    I owned a 2011 SR5 AC auto and traded it at 113K. Loved the truck but wanted something a little nicer and could tow a little better. Got a 2017 Sport AC manual. Each truck has it's strengths and weaknesses. In a perfect world I'd have kept both!

    Test drive the snot out of the 3rd gen. I'm totally biased and think stick is the only way to go on a 3rd gen.

    I'm extremely happy with my decision to trade my STi in for my OR. I had a dream the other night where I was driving my STi again, and I was actually upset about it.
