2011-2013 is a direct swap in (harness and everything). 2014-2015 is a direct swap minus the harness.

Both are about the same work, in my opinion.

Neither option will require you to buy a wiring harness. You'll use your original harness and computer.

There were some piston updates during 11-12, but 13-15 are the same.

Just for clarification, the carbon buildup on valves in the 4GR engine might have been reduced some but it has NOT been fixed. This is simply a consequence of direct injection engines.

AA Auto in North Little Rock is a good yard I have dealt with before ( http://aaforeign.com/ ). They have a 2012 ( https://tinyurl.com/y99p5ny7 ) with 45k for $1250 Grade A stock # ca0307. They ship anywhere. I figure about $250 at most to Tennessee via truck.

Unfortunately not. Too many electronics differences.
