    Currently have a low mileage 2015 Tacoma prerunner and looking to see who here has moved up from their 2nd gen Tacoma to a 2.5 gen Tubdra, and if so, what things should I be looking out for when buying used?

    Id like 4wd, power seats and navigation if it has sunroof etc., so be it..

    Platinum vs Limited vs SR5?

    I'm currently looking at and can afford (2016-'18 CrewMax models)

    thanks
    Doug

    Welcome! There’s plenty of us that have went from a 2nd gen Tacoma to a 2.5 gen Tundra. In fact, @Taco-Spike has both.

    There’s plenty of threads on here with people discussing going back and forth.

    Between platinum, limited or SR5, it comes down to what luxuries you want. Good news is that you’re in the range of still having a transmission cooler (search for that hotly debated topic)
