[@DougDeMuro]

FYI - I accidentally left off the Jeep Gladiator from the DougScoring at the end. I prefer the Gladiator over the Tacoma TRD Pro, and the Gladiator has a higher DougScore (24 + 33 = 57); I simply forgot about the Jeep when I was scoring the Tacoma.

[@gs6810]

Keeping the hand brake is crucial. If you are 4wheeling and have to stop on a steep hill for whatever reason, you pull the hand brake to keep the car from rolling backwards. You apply gas while the brake is still engaged and then release the brake as you apply more gas. This stops the car from rolling backwards and giving you backwards momentum that would cause the wheels spin.

When I went to the business office to sign all the paperwork, the business manager tried to sell me an extended warranty...I looked at him and said, "I'm buying a Toyota" he never mentioned it again.

The "unnamed" Tacoma way back when was actually the Hilux- sales of the Hilux in the United States ceased in 1995 and was replaced with the Tacoma, though, both shared similar characteristics. I believe the Tacoma lacked a more complete boxed frame compared to the Hilux; the Tacoma having utilized a combination of a boxed frame in some areas and reinforced c-frame in others.

Manual seats are way better than electric seats. You can dial in your correct setting in about 5 seconds. With electric seats you need so sit there for 15 seconds just to fix one setting...

I love the manual seats, that’s one less thing to go out. What I don’t like is it doesn’t have height adjustment. My wrangler jk had manual seats with a manual height adjustment lever. I do wish my Tacoma had that. But as far as electric seat go, they can keep those, that’s why I didn’t get the tech package.

I'm the primary driver of Tacoma, once you have your seats set. There really is no reason to adjust them, so power seats are really an over kill, plus with a manual seat there is more room to hide more junk under your seats.

[@PrzemoP4]

I completely don’t understand this hype around power seats: how often you adjust them? You set them and forget. Especially when you are the only driver. Then compare it to cruise control or even adaptive cruise control - most probably you use it almost constantly in daily basis.

[@Wrecked01]

Because you can adjust up and down. It's fine tuning the position.
