Thanks for the reply. I have to admit, the auto trans on the 4xe I rented was *really* nice. Probably the most fun I've had driving around in an automatic. (the 375 horses and electric torque didn't hurt either!). When I go for the Gladiator it has to be the manual though. I already have a...

That's interesting my brother said similar about his Tacoma. Once he got past 15k miles it really opened up. Good point about not judging a new or nearly new vehicle.

My other truck has manual window cranks, manual hubs, and no factory AC so i'll take that as a complement 😁 Nice!! Just subbed to your channel, this is the kind of stuff I love to see and would plan on making these kind of mods to a vehicle that I planned on keeping.

Interesting video here explaining why the Pentastar V6 fails: Quite a few comments from users stating they're well over 100kmi - and also are diligent about changing their oil every 3500 miles.

I hear ya man, and thanks for the input, but it's gotta be a stick shift for me! I do agree that 8 speed auto is real nice, having driven one.

Great point there. That's like the 460 in my '96 F-250. It's just a tank that runs forever. Drives like a tank too 😁

When I heard about them discontinuing the manual for 2025, it made me want to pick up a 2023/4 even more. Then again, Tacoma discontinued the V6! It's getting harder and harder to get excited about a new machine these days. I was very impressed by the overall fit and finish on the Wrangler...

Did you get to the bottom of that power steering issue? One of the things that drives me nuts about newer vehicles are all the unnecessary electronics, but I don't think that can be avoided with anything after 2017 or so. What year were the Tacoma's that gave you problems? That sounds...

You're right about the QC issues across the board for various manufacturers. I've heard plenty of complaints surrounding the Tacoma too, just not the 'single point of failure/common problem' stuff surrounding the Pentastar motor. It does seem that the PV6 is a solid engine if you don't...

Awesome, thanks for the review! When I drove that Wrangler I was really impressed with the interior and how the machine handled on the highway. I've read quite few reviews and seen a few YT vids with folks complaining about the gearing, but to me it just seemed they didn't really know how to...

Thanks for the links!

Hey guys new to the forum, this is my first post. I'm in the market for a light truck next year, and am trying to decide between a 2021+ slight used ( < 20kmi) Tacoma or the Gladiator. Manual transmission only for me! I've driven my brother's 2017 V6 manual Taco and it's great. I hadn't even...
