two other questions, with reguards to the manual transmission. when they had to take those few extra horsepowers away on the 6MT because of the heavy flywheel, what exactly is "crankshaft hammering?" is that like crank walk but at high RPM? 🤔🤔 Also, in the low grade SR trim, when you pair it with the manual transmission, are you always confinded to rear leafs? or does picking the 6MT option immediately put you with the rear multilink suspension even on that entry grade SR ?

Oh wow, all the seats can now adjust height 😮. What a change. Toyota drivers will love the turbo 4. All of our competitors implement the rear leaf spring on all their vehicles but we just put it in our entry model to keep prices down. Trail hunter trim is interesting. Only trd pro and trail hunter have aluminum suspension. Poor man trims are steel.

Not a truck guy, but I'm actually interested in these. Especially the manual. I wish toyota would bring this type of engineering to a rally type car.
