4G Tacoma 6-Speed Manual – Who Went Old School

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 took my truck on a road trip from NWFL to Arrington Virginia for Overland Expo East. This truck is so freaking nice to drive when compared to my last 3rd Gen. The seats are super comfortable and the powertrain is really enjoyable for being a 4cyl. I averaged around 18 mpg. I know that’s not amazing but I have larger heavier R/T tires, a lift, and other additional weight added to my truck.
