I am a big manual transmission enthusiast. I’ve only ever owned manual cars but I’m on the fence about this new Tacoma. I am leaning towards the manual but still would consider an auto. Has anyone test drove both? What are your thoughts? Manual owners, persuade me to stick with my gut and just...

Thanks for the review! This is good to hear as I’m leaning towards getting a manual. Have you experimented with IMT on and off?

Either way looks good! I’ll probably end up with 285/75 but that’s looks great too!

It’s possible that he meant to say KO2, as KO2s are available in that size. he might have had to do modifications to make those fit stock height without rubbing

Haha I was wanting to go with Westcott’s lift too. I don’t have my truck yet so I still have time to think. are you rubbing at all?

Looks good! Stock height still I assume? Impressive you can fit that size tire with minimal work. I’ll be doing 285/75r17 as well.

That color with a manual transmission is awesome! Let us know how the manual feels. Haven’t seen many people provide feedback yet but it’s mainly been positive.

Love the wheel/tire fitment

Hell yeah! Let me know how you’re liking it. I’m 99% sure I want a manual, even after test driving the automatic one.

That’s what I’m expecting. Just a chill long shift throw driving experience haha. I’ve got a manual sports car with a short throw shifter so a manual Tacoma will be a good balance

Did you test drive an automatic as well? I drove an auto and it was smooth with good power delivery, but I’m someone that always prefers manual.

I’ve seen a few YouTube videos with people driving these new Tacomas on 35s and they say it handles the power well. Not sure how it’ll affect the gear shifting but these trucks seem to be powerful enough to negate the extra weight of heavy tires.

Other than the grille shutter, any other issues with the truck? I’m looking to purchase one soon and I’m really hoping they addressed this issue.

Manuals typically have less drivetrain power loss so I would think the manual would feel just as powerful if not more.

I’m hoping ours have the resolved grille shutter issue.

I test drove an automatic recently. The transmission was smooth, but manual is just more fun for me. The manual also has less power only because of a reduced redline due to flywheel chattering at high revs.

Nice! What’s your build number? I’m looking at one around 15000.

Who all has purchased and had time to put some miles on a manual Tacoma? I haven’t seen too many manual reviews so I’m just curious on your feedback on the manuals!

Any updates on your issue? Planning to buy a 2024 soon too, with a VIN ending around 15000. Hoping I don’t encounter these issues.

Curious as well. I’ll be getting a 6MT and would like more induction noises while driving manual.
