Toyota Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series Limited Edition

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/29/t...dition-in-tex/

Toyota is stepping up to the plate with the Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series. Unveiled today at the Texas State Fair, this limited-edition truck takes inspiration from Toyota's Baja racing history and features items like an electronically-controlled locking differential, TRD off-road package with Bilstein race shocks and an increased ride height of two inches, BF Goodrich T/A KO tires and bead-lock style wheels. Power comes from Toyota's 4.0-liter V6 and both a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission are available.

The TRD T|X Baja Series also benefits from changes made to the standard Tacoma for 2012, including a restyled front end with a new hood, grille, front bumper and headlights. The interior gets a new instrument panel, updated gauges, new steering wheel and more.

Hmmm.

I just bought a 05 Tacoma Trd sport in July. After driving it for a few months, I'd certainly buy another one but I'm not all that impressed with the 4.0. I'm also slightly concerned on it's winter driving capabilities. It came with Michelins and they have already proven to be a bit poor in wet conditions.

What exactly are your "complains" about 4.0?

I guess as far a running well I have no complaints. Since my previous vehicle was a V8 and my other vehicle is a mustang, the 4.0 is pretty weak when you need to put the hammer down. I like having power when I need it.

Still a sweet package, without the graphics. I'd give it a chance.

Not feeling the graphics. I'd still take the Raptor.

I don't think you can compare the Baja to the Raptor. Now maybe if it used the Tundra instead of the Tacoma, I could see that.
