This is my 2024 SR5

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.

Loving this truck so much. Was just days away from buying a 3rd gen Tacoma when wife suggested I spend just a few thousand more for a new truck. So glad I did - the responsiveness of the 4cyl turbo, and the added headroom is also a bonus.

So far I’ve added the following:
Ceramic tinting
All weather floor mats
Screen protector
Center console organizer
Center console hidden compartment
Tonneau cover Truxedo Truxport
Garmin dashcam
“Adjusted” the headrest too!
