03 taco, had stick trans's most of my life since '70 I test drove both and didn't like the way the 5 spd shifted at all (worse than my 71 harley ) so I got the auto

 

That should be why you get the 5-speed.

 

Manual up to yesterday. Got a 99 prerunner, so no tranny choice...V6 though.

 

Auto here. always wanted a stick everybody who drove a stick says auto just sucks, maybe next car

 

5 speed, 'cuz my wife said so.

 

Limited only came auto

 

Really love my 5 speed. My gripe is it's getting harder to get a truck with manual. I don't think you can get the new Tacoma with 4 doors, V6, 4x4 with anything but an auto. That will keep me from buying one.

 

I think the new Tacoma comes with option for a manual transmission (though when I tried to build one on the toyota website I saw no 4x4!)

 

Last time I looked you could only get the 5 speed 4x4 with a 4 cylinder and not a V6. I just went to the Toyota website and it looks like they changed it for 2005. However now I'm ticked because I keyed in my zip (91505) and they don't even have a 4x4 available! BUT... If I key my old Texas zip (77062) there's plenty to choose from! I may have to go back home at Christmas to get a new truck!

 

I have 2 5 Speeds. but i am getting lazy. i dont want to change gears any more. i rather have auto's lol

 

4 speed manual

 

A340H auto here, didn't want an auto but wife can't drive a manual. The way my wife drives, I could see the real possiblity of her popping the clutch at a street light and rear end someone.

 

97 4runner stick. love it, wanted an auto at first test drove this one, fell in love. period. stick all the way!!!

 

the only tacomas that weren't available with a manual transmission were the prerunners and double cabs. however, i think both have the option now. 4cyl or V6, they were both always available with a 5 speed

i just wish toyota would make a 5 speed available on the tundra with the V8...

 

I can't wait to test drive the new Tacoma with the six speed. I hope they are not as notchy as the 5 speed that I have.

 

I have the 6 speed Pre-Runner, it is definitely worth it

 

90 SR5 5 speed. woo.

 

I'm picking up an Automatic tonight. Was interested in the stick, but found a great deal on the Auto.

 

I guess I can repost now that I've bought a '99 SR5 Highlander Edition 4Runner with a 5 speed manual. Toy corporate can just keep on waiting to get me to buy a new 4Runner until they make a turbo-intercooled diesel with a 5 speed.

 

i went from an auto to a 5spd in my runner, major improvement.
