    It has a manual transmission! And that's just one of the crazy things on this TRD Off Road.

    I absolutely LOVE my 23 TRD double cab with the premium and technology pkgs and the 6’ bed.
    I drive only about 5-6K miles per year and at my age my Tacoma will outlive me.

    I couldn’t agree more on the manual transmission. I bought my Taco in auto because my wife cannot drive a manual- but wish it was a manual. It makes the truck more fun!

    Just a note, the LED headlights are an option on the TRD off-road. The off-road comes standard with headlights that have LED DRL, but not the full blown LED's. I would recommend opting for the full LED headlights (Toyota option code LG) as they are a significant upgrade from the regular headlights, and as a standalone option are just an additional $485.

      Well I didn't request LED headlights in my 21 Taco TRD OR but it came with it. Guess I was lucky then! Oh.. Its a manual too!!! Waited 6 months.

      @@janpur1417 Nice, I just got mine after about a 6 month wait (Army Green off-road). I found one that was close to what I wanted that would have only been a 4 month wait, but it didn't have the LED headlights, which was a must for me and the wife. The process of finding the right truck was actually pretty frustrating. Several dealerships I talked to didn't seem to understand the difference between the stock headlights with the little LED light strips on the edges and the full LED headlight option. I even had one dealership tell me that it wasn't even possible to get LED headlights at all... not a good sign when you know substantially more about the product than the person selling it.

      Yup I’ve got mine reserved and realized this distinction after. Unfortunately mine will have the projector non-LED headlights. The aftermarket ones are like $1400 and you have to install them.. Definitely pay the $485 up front!

    I have a 2022 Lunar Rock TRD Off- Road 4x4 manual tranny with led headlight upgrade and sonar upgrade in the rear. $39,505 incl. tax lic doc etc. Just got it last week after about a 4 month wait. Can't beat a manual in a 4 wheel drive. 4.30 gears vs 3.90 in the automatic. Preferred the old school key and manual parking brake also. Simple is always better! Nice video by the way!

    The Toyota with the 6-speed manual in my book has always been a must have in my book period. It's the only reason I would buy a Tacoma again. Forget about all of the bells and whistles all of these trucks now come with, including all of the technology hype. It's always been about the manual stick shift that really matters for all of us, who know the fit and the feel of that Tacoma 6 speed manual. It really gives you the intimate fit and feel of being a part of the vehicle itself. It's amazing and it's something one would never forget. It's kind of like driving a small MG sports car. FUN! Anyway, if Toyota decides to finally pull the 6-speed manual off of the market for good then a genuine icon is gone. Great video by the way and thanks for the tour. Have a great day.

    Great truck and a nice fully loaded one. Got a 2022 lunar rock on the way. Only 5 percent of vehicles sold today are equipped with the manual. People don't want them to die out but the truth is people aren't buying them. I have a manual GLI I bought brand new in 2020. Fun vehicle but Clutching on I70 in traffic sucks. plus its 2022 and we still don't have a way for remote start to be equipped from factory. its just as hard to find a place to install them too.

I got my LC's 2nd row carpet and placed into the taco (perfect fit) and it is bluish and is so cool to the eye! Looking for lighter color carpet to the front seats now. Oh.. I got 21 TRD OR manual.
