I Love my 23 TRD Off Road 6’ bed, leather interior, sunroof, LED lights, etc. I purposely chose the 23 naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 over the turbo which throughout history simply aren’t as reliable as the naturally aspirated engines.

No I actually don’t. I’ll follow up with the store but not exactly sure. Maybe call your nearest dealership.

I'm a long time Tacoma owner (1996, 2000, 2020,) and prefer the SR5 all around. Not for over 35k though. These don't depreciate either, so you'll be waiting more than 7 years for any deals. Everything should be hybrid these days. So I went with a RAV4 prime with a trailer, and rent/borrow a pickup when I need one. ;)

Thank you, I came here to say this. The TRD Sport has a firmer suspension that is unique to that trim level. It is also worth noting for those that actually use their Tacoma as a truck, the Sport is best trim in the lineup for hauling and towing. (All else being equal, a firmer suspension is better for towing.)

You showed us a TRD 4X4 sport at 5:35 and that's the one I want. That shows the separate flared fenders.

Will do specs on both.. Checking out Chevy Z71 & RANGER ALSO. I See vent grill on rear console but is that functional??? Ranger has no passenger vent, which to me, vent helps cool off cab also......

I really don't get this, but see it all the time from people trying to find any excuse to complain about. It is a mid-size truck, not a giant SUV where air from the front might have trouble reaching the back. The interior is not much bigger than a compact car (I'd say my Tacoma's interior is only slightly bigger than my Corolla's). It takes no time for the heat/cooling to alter the temperature of the entire cab once it kicks in, as it is pretty small volume. My kids sit in the back seat all the time, and it has never been a problem or concern that would affect my buying decision.
