Anyone here have a Toyota Tacoma 4wd TRD?

I had a 2000 Tacoma 4x4, 4cyl, Manual, Reg Cab, up to right about 200k miles, then got rid of it to upgrade for more family room and for because I drive a lot for work.
About a month and a half ago I got a brand new 2014 Tacoma - Quad cab, Short bed, V6, Auto, 4x4, Towing package, with the touch screen XM/Backup Cam/Bluetooth. It's not any flavor of TRD but has all electric everything, fog lights, the 5 speed auto trans, fitted rubber floor mats, tinted back windows, matching painted fenders and bumpers, etc.
I don't go off road in terms of rock crawling or mud bogging so I didn't want all the TRD stuff, plus I think the wheels, fake hood scoop, and decals are tacky. I use 4x4 for nasty dirt/sandy roads and the occasional snow. I just wanted a 4x4 with some specific creature comforts.
I went ahead and paid for the 100k miles ToyotaCare warranty. It covers any and all parts of the truck up to 100k miles, even nit picky stuff like a door lock switch not working.
I paid right at $31,700 OTD (taxes, tag, etc.) from Cherokee Toyota in Canton. I talked to Cobb Toyota and they told me they didn't want to waste my time because they couldn't make a deal that aggressive - that Tacomas sell themselves so they generally don't have to deal on them at all.
