Camping Trailers Advice

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.

Hi everyone,

As a newcomer to travel trailer camping, I’ve been enjoying the experience but am still learning a lot. I’ve found that getting familiar with your trailer’s systems, like water and electrical, is crucial. It’s helpful to keep a checklist for essential gear and practice setting up and tearing down your trailer before hitting the road. Booking campsites in advance and understanding your trailer’s maintenance needs can make trips smoother.

I’d love to hear from those with more experience. What challenges did you face when starting out? Any favorite camping spots or tips to enhance the travel trailer experience?

Looking forward to your advice!
