Manual transmissions have nearly vacated the U.S. pickup market, though you can still get one in a few Nissan Frontiers and V-6-powered four-wheel-drive Toyota Tacomas, begging the question: How does a Tacoma with a six-speed manual compare to the automatic transmission?
Toyota Tacoma Trd Off Road Manual Vs Automatic
There is a lot to consider when shopping for a new or used Toyota Tacoma. You have to figure out which trim level you need, in addition to which bed size and cab configuration. But you\u2019ll also have a choice between a manual or automatic transmission. But is really better to shift your Tacoma yourself, or have the truck do it for you?\n\n\n\nBuying Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission has its disadvantages\n\n\n\n2021 Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission Joe Santos\n\n\n\nFirst things first, if you end finding a Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission, don\u2019t expect it to be a sportscar. Yes, you can row the gears yourself and shift at whatever rpm you desire, but the gear ratios are long as is the stick shift throw. Having driven a 2021 Tacoma with a manual and automatic transmission, I can personally say that having the manual transmission only makes normal driving feel only slightly sportier.\n\n\n\nAlso, as PickupTrucks.com notes, the Tacoma with a manual transmission weighs about 20 pounds more and it doesn\u2019t add any power to the equation. There\u2019s also no crawl control mode on the manual Tacomas, so if you like to boogie on the rocks on a regular basis, then that could be a deal-breaker.\n\n\n\nThere are many upsides to shifting the gears yourself\n\n\n\n2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD going uphill Toyota\n\n\n\nThe good part about driving a Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission is that it has a shorter 4.3:1 axle ratio versus the taller 3.909:1 ratio that you get with the automatic. That shorter ratio equates to quicker acceleration off the line and through the gears, which can even come in handy on the off-road trails.\n\n\n\nSpeaking of going off-road, although opting for the manual transmission emits crawl control, you can still make your hill descents easy by shifting into the lower gears. In some cases, you won\u2019t need to shift much. And if you happen to stall while on a mountain and don\u2019t want the hazard of rolling backward, there\u2019s a \u201cclutch start cancel\u201d button on the dashboard. When this button is activated, it allows the driver to start the truck without having to push in the clutch. That\u2019s pretty handy.\n\n\n\nAdditionally, if you\u2019re into modifying your Tacoma, then you\u2019ll be happy to know that the manual transmission can be modified to accept a higher gear ratio for even better acceleration. The manual transmission Tacomas are generally cheaper, too, but dealers might mark them up depending on their supply.\n\n\n\nIs it hard to find a Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission?\n\n\n\n2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD going downhill Toyota\n\n\n\n\n\n\tRelated\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWhy the Toyota Tacoma Still Dominates as the Best Truck\t\t\n\t\n\nSpeaking of supply and demand, it can be relatively tough to find a 2021 Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission. After doing a nationwide search on Cars.com, we found 76 trucks with manual transmissions for sale compared to the 3,500-plus automatic ones. That\u2019s a pretty small ratio, especially for Tacoma.\n\n\n\nThat being said, if you do find a Tacoma with a manual transmission for sale near you, act quickly and be prepared to possibly pay top dollar for it. However, if you enjoy driving a truck with a \u00a0manual transmission, then buying a Tacoma in this guise could be worth every penny spent.\n\n\n","ptime":"2021-08-30T20:10:00","custom_date":"","custom_datedesc":"","author":"name":"Joe Santos","slug":"joe-santos","url":"https:\/\/www.motorbiscuit.com\/author\/joe-santos\/","twitter_link":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeSantos703","facebook_link":null,"linkedin_link":"https:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/josephtsantos","instagram_link":"https:\/\/instagram.com\/mr_joe703","comment_count":0,"review_schema":" Toyota Related Why the Toyota Tacoma Still Dominates as the Best Truck Speaking of supply and demand, it can be relatively tough to find a 2021 Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission.
