2023 Pro Manual
Hello, happy to be part of this community. I bought a used TRD Pro in Solar Octane with a manual transmission.
 
Welcome! That is a good color. What do you think of it so far?

I'm getting quite a few "nice truck" and thumbs up when I drive around. The truck gets noticed with that bright color.

In terms of attention, I'm coming out of a tuned Lancer Evolution, which was essentially a race car. I used to get thumbs up from sport bike riders (which is unusual for a car), so I guess I like the attention? I'm 50 now, and sick of having every 18 year old try to race me, so the truck is a nice compromise. Having a manual makes me feel less awful about losing out the amazing feeling of rowing gears in the Evo.

My wife likes driving it, too. The stage 2 clutch on the Evo was getting tiring for her to manage as well.
 
That’s a big change coming from an Evo lol love those cars. Never had any sports cars growing up just a bunch of Jeep Cherokee XJ’s, I miss having them, only 190 hp, however the Tacoma is a fun truck to drive too and I have a bit more power.
