Well we did it, the DW & I bought a new Ford Edge to use as an alternate dingy when we don’t want/need to drag my Tacoma. Ford has delayed releasing the 2015 Edge until just now. We were waiting for the 2015's to arrive so that we could test drive one. As it turned out, we both thought the 15's looked better online than they did in person. The 3.5L engine is the same as the 2014 model, as is the interior for the most part. They do have some nifty options that weren’t available on the 14's, but we like the overall looks of the 14's better. Couple that with huge discounts on the 14's and the decision was fairly simple. We drove away with a 2014 Edge Limited AWD. We absolutely love it!

So, you want to sell the Tacoma, tell me about it.

I'm curious about your Tacoma. What year and model? I flat tow my '06 Tacoma 2WD automatic with a drives haft disconnect . I want a new crew cab 4WD Tacoma and I'm still seeking solutions to flat tow it.

Why can't you just put a ds disconnect on the new Tacoma? I just did my 2013 Xterra 4wd. The Xterra is a bit of a pain as it has a factory cv joint instead of a u-joint at the rear diff but I think the Tacoma has a u-joint. I had Dave at Driveshaft King (in Dallas) build the driveshaft and machine an adapter for the rear diff. He did a super job. Several other places around as well that are capable.

It's an '07 double cab. I also use a driveshaft disconnect. I love my Tacoma, it's been one of the most trouble-free vehicles I have ever owned. I just had my very first repair since I've owned it - the climate control blower quit. Not bad after 8 years of ownership.

Had a '98 Tacoma Xtracab Limited 4wd that I used as a toad for many years. Now my son has it. Looks a little long in the tooth but it's still going strong. Great trucks.

Craig, is your '07 a Prerunner or 4WD? I also agree with the others, most trouble free vehicle I've ever owned.

I didn't see the need for the 4wd model since it has to be modified to tow the same as the 2wd. The 4wd was more expensive plus it weighs more, so I went with the 2wd Prerunner.
