Toyota surprised everyone by keeping a 6-speed manual transmission option on certain 4th Gen Tacomas (TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road). Who here actually went for it?

I’ve been driving manuals for years, and it’s awesome to see Toyota keep it alive. The clutch feel is solid, maybe a little long though for it to grab, and the gearing feels pretty dialed for trail use. Only downside? You lose some features like Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select.

Still — if you’re in it for the driving experience, it’s a blast. Anyone else daily-driving the manual or using it on the trails?

Let’s show some love for the third pedal — and share tips for break-in and shifting sweet spots.

I'm glad they did this, but I'm not a manual guy myself. Maybe if I have a sports car, sure, but automatic on the truck is best. Much easier on the trail. I wouldn't want to mess with a clutch on a gnarly rocky section.
