I think the taco, for me…
I think the taco, for me... Thrives with a stick. I reluctantly let go my 2013 trail teams fj with a manual and was looking at 2024 Tacoma's.... New powertrain etc... Lots of up sides but didn't love it with the auto as was the tester at the local dealer. The two to tier trucks had the hybrid which I thought was brilliant, but only auto. I got a call that a leader but back came in with low miles in the trd pro package, 2023, so with the last six cylinder...FJ was the 4 liter, this is the 3.5i think.... The smaller displacement revs higher, less thirsty than the FJ, but thirsty... Feels torqier. I'm biased in my love for the connection to the ride with a stick, so that's out there, but I really think it's a different animal in these moderately powered trucks and gives you a more choose your adventure menu on your daily experience.... Definitely my vote goes to the stick
