Here's Why This Lifted 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Is THE 4x4 Truck To Buy!

- The 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is a great off-road truck - there's no doubt about it. BUT, is it really the best Tacoma to buy? In this video, Tommy argues the case for the Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Not only can you save a bit of a cash from the full-on TRD Pro, but you can now get a 2-inch lift kit as an option from the manufacturer. That might just make it the most solid option if you're shopping for a new Tacoma right now.

Yours car review are very helpful for us 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Jai ho!
Lol, Tacoma isn't even available in India
@@CJ-zz9ts and I'm guessing 0.01% of the population in India could afford one lol
@@himboslice_ we trade curry for tacoma
You'll be getting a scam call from Indians
Just FYI, you remove the rear headrests if you wanna fold down the seat flat. If you notice there are two holes on the bottom seat portion that you fold up. That’s where you stick the headrest.
He’s a little special
@@bigblizzhigh it was an honest oversight. I own a Tacoma, that’s how I know.
You're right. 👌👌 cool thing when you can flat whole back seats
They don't read the comments. He did the same thing on another Tacoma model and there were multiple comments the same as yours and here we are again doing this goofy crap.
Functions the same way since the last generation Taco.
I went and test drove every truck under the sun did my homework for months and months , on which truck to buy , I walked away with a 2021 TRD off road double cab 4X4 with tech + premium pkg . Absolutely LOVE this truck , the more I drive it the more I’m liking it .
Manual or auto?
Auto
@@peterhoma6385 ah
@Charles Lindberg Wheres the pics at? U on a tacoma fb group?
@Charles Lindberg tacomaworld.com is the big tacoma forum. There is quite few tacoma fb groups.
The big difference between TRD offroad/pro and other Tacoma trims (including TRD sport) is the differentials.
Rear diff in offroad/pro is bigger (larger ring size), it also comes with the rear locker. In addition, the final gear ratio is lower in these models compared to other trims.
This is the most important/expensive difference in my opinion, not the crawl control.
lol. "This one doesn't have fog lights, but it does have this amazing green colour" #sold
The lift kit gets the fog light delete. That skid plate is an option. These trucks look so much better with the led headlight option
How does it get a fog light delete? It’s not a factory option, it’s an accessory. They show the $1450 is the parts price, not installed. You can select any Tacoma on the lot and add this lift kit. It’s a bolt on accessory. If you buy a Tacoma with fog lights, they are not removed when this suspension kit is installed. You can have the lift and the fog lights.
If I had a model example TRD Off-Road with the fog lights, but at 3,000 km decided I want this lift kit and decide further to have the dealership install the kit, are you saying the fog lights will be removed/deleted??
Allegedly, because the fog lights are not aimed properly for the lift the dealership is supposed to remove them and replace them with the blanks when the lift is installed and from what we’ve been told the dealerships are the only way to get the trd lift.
@@shitloveaduck they are legally required to take the fog lights out when they put the kit in. If you ask nicely I am sure your dealer would leave them in. But even if they don’t, just put them back in yourself?
@@MegaBob12311 - they better damn well give me all the parts of the fog lamps I paid for in the first place. I will put them right back in when I get home. How ridiculous. I understand the aim issue, but they are going to have to make sure you get either a credit or the parts back. Another no-go for the Tacoma.
It’s 2021 why doesn’t every vehicle come with LED headlights? Although I found a downside to LEDs this past winter. I was driving in a snowstorm and the headlights don’t get warm enough to melt the snow. It was coming down pretty hard and I had to keep pulling over every 20 minutes or so to clean them out. I don’t think you would have that problem on a traditional headlight like a Tacoma, it’s not going to collect the snow like a jeeps headlights would.
Great review. Had a 2012 TRD Sport manual. Loved it. Very comfortable seats on long road trips. Wish I still had it. 👍
Bought this truck in blue, with the lift and a manual transmission. Y’all’s reviews of the standard trd pro and this one helped me pull the trigger! Great stuff as always!
Picking up my manual tomorrow. Found one from the second dealer I called. It’s like God wanted me to find this truck, even during these strange times. Glad you love your truck man. Comments like yours give me confidence in my purchase :)
Tommy you are killing me with the back seats! That is not how they flip down. The head rests pull out of the seat back and then there are holders in the flipped up bottom seat for them. Then the seats are perfectly flat when folded down.
10:45 😳🥺😬🤕😭
These guys are idiots with Toyotas. Yet I continue to watch, so I guess I’m the idiot
The headrest folding forward is so that you can have the headrests down while driving with rear seat unoccupied. To fold the seat back down, remove the headrests and put them into holes on the back of the seat back (or toss them in the garage if you’re keeping them down).
Same skid plate at the TRD Pro. Same tires and size as the Pro.
The Tacoma is a great truck especially for value. I had a blue 2019 TRD PRO and actually sold it this year for $3500 more than the bank note. Turned around and bought the exact same Tacoma in Lunar Rock with the manual, brand new for $1400 profit. They don't depreciate, they appreciate evidently 🤣
The 4R is better than the Taco. It has a usable rear seat and more storage despite a smaller footprint. The Taco Access Cab is the way to go with the larger bed. The rear seats in all Taco cabs are useless. You have to get a Tundra if you plan to use the back seat and want exterior storage.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q I disagree the back seats are very usable on my 2021. I can sit behind my drivers seat and still have an inch or so of leg room between the seat and my knees. I’m 5’11
@@kawasakidirtrider I had major claustrophobia. The Taco is a fine truck for women and kids.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q I disagree lol. It’s a fine truck for anyone who doesn’t need a full size truck or isn’t super tall.
@@kawasakidirtrider I’m 6 1 and didn’t even begin to fit. The front is tight also. The RAV4 has a lot more room. The V6 powertrain in the Taco is very weak as well. I can’t imagine towing anything, even a wave runner. The 5 ft bed is a joke, there is no more room than a large hitch carrier. Either go full size or get a SUV/CUV. The only Taco that makes sense is the base 4 cylinder 2wd with the utility package and longer bed.
I have a 17 sr5 that i lifted myself n put 32” tires on. Had zero issues with it after 4+ yrs.
Thanks Tommy, very informative and well explained👍🏼💪🏼
I like this video. Gives a good perspective on the TRD lift kit. I just wish you would've mentioned why the TRD kit is superior to other lifts. The main part of the lift kit is that it works with Toyota's TSS suite. A big part of the dealer installation is calibrating the sensors and realigning the truck. In addition to the front grille, you also get the fog lamp delete.
For what it’s worth, I lifted my 2018 taco, never recalibrated the sensor and never had a problem.
I just got mine and I love the truck I thought I made a mistake buying it but its not. It's the best decision for a offroad for me
I bought a 2021 Off Road about 2 months ago (about 800 miles on it now) and I love it.
how tall are you though???
@@westwood3286
I don’t get it.
Good video. Definitely one the best I have seen. I live in Colorado. I have the same truck..minus the A/T and leatherseats. The factory trd lift is a perfect addition and keeping it all toyota. The red color is worth the money to me. I love my '21 Manual trans trd off road in army green. Took me months to find.. Lucky to find!!
Great video Tommy.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Overall, I am a tacoma fan and have owned 2. However, This (excellent review) video definitely would have prevented me from buying one though. It hit all of the significant shortcomings of the truck accurately.
It’s why people rely on TH-cam so much for their research purposes. Can’t live them, can’t live without ‘em.
It's worth noting that the drivers seats are now being made with adjustability beyond forward and backward, so it's easier now to get the ideal driving position, especially up and down. I test drove one this morning and was surprised to find this out! Definitely for the 2021's. I'm not sure about the 2020's.
I have a 2020 that has adjustability on the drivers side
The off road should come with that lift kit standard.
And with off road tires two
Honestly, the Tacoma already rides high as it is for a compact pick-up. I own the Sport with the 6ft bed, and I've honestly had few issues bottoming out unless in extreme situations.
You can get a leveling kit from Toyota that runs around 400$ that adds height. Then you can add a 285/75/r16. However, yea ad a lift with coilovers.
@@noisysounds4420 I've never heard of an OEM leveling kit from Toyota. Is that through the dealer?
@@jaredn5720 yea, my nearest dealership offers one, talk to your local parts person. Like I mentioned its about 400$ and the labor takes it to 600$. The new coil over shocks they have for the 2022 won't be available for a few years but my local part guy said they'll offer it soon enough.
Solid video & review!
I have a 2016 trd sport with the technology package and jbl system i love the truck i have aftermarket suspension and UCA, big tires, method wheels, front bumper with a 20 led light bar and a winch, rock sliders and a aftermarket rear locker
About how much did that cost you? Was it cheaper than going for the off-road with the standard rear locker?
i know one thing, that color is the absolute best.
FYI - the reason the fog lights are not there and it has the heritage grill is because that is part of the TRD tuned lift option. I am doing it on my OR coming on order, and I am not thrilled about the fog light delete mandatory with the lift, but will hopefully find some rigid industries to put in there. The TRD skid plate is also an option added, just keep in mind because this guy said its part of the OR trim, but it is not.
I have had 6 or 7. Tacoma 4x4 s. I LOVE THEM !!! all gave me almost no trouble. 2006 TRD off road. Best mpg 19.5. 4.0 v6 But u save as u dont have to fix them. !!! Last 1. 174000 miles. And radio was replaced at 3000. THATS IT.
I think the Ford Ranger Tremor is the best buy and most practical buy and I'm a chevy/tacoma fan but.....they have gone complacent, look at the supra didn't even build but partnered with BMW.
Who spec’d this truck out with a $90 air filter, leather seats, but no bed lights 😂
And halogen shit-tastic headlights.
Ok, I got to stop this video and say one thing to those who don’t know. That loop he touches in the video is not a recovery point, IS NOT A RECOVERY POINT. (Did it in capital so it gets the point across) that loop he touched is a tie down point for transportation. Now off to the passenger side you see the j-hook that is your recovery point. That J-hook comes standard on the OR and Pro models, it doesn’t come on any other model. Could probably purchase it from Toyota or ARB make a sweet recovery point that you can also buy. That that tie down loop comes on every model, and again, that doesn’t mean you have a recovery point.
Well first off the TRD skid plate is an option for the off-road model. It normally is for the pro model standard. Secondly if you just take off the back head rest all the way across, the seats fold down flat for storage. 👍
You can also insert the headrest into base of the seat. If you look close enough there’s 2 holes on the top once you flip the seat, the headrest fits perfectly there.
The head rests in the back seat fold down for visibility. If you want the seat backs to lay flat you have to remove the head rest and place it in the holes on the seat bottoms when they are folded up.
Tommy ... you're the best. Thanks!
If you’re serious about 4x4, have decent mechanical knowledge (or willingness to learn), and don’t care about unnecessary bells and whistles (like seat heaters), getting the SR and installing a lift, new wheels + tires, a rear locking diff, and some armor will leave you with a much more capable truck for thousands less than the TRD OR is currently going for. I installed a steel front bumper with a winch and light bar on top of the parts mentioned above and still came out in the positive (relative to the TRD OR price).
When you buy TRD, you’re buying the sticker, not the components.
Great review. Tacoma’s are great trucks that last.
I have owned both Toyotas and Nissans and they are both great! I just couldn't justify 7k difference in cost (0% with nissan and 2.9% with toyota) from my 2019 pro4x over the Tacoma. Either way great choice
The lift does not allow bigger tires. It's just a suspension lift, not a long travel. Fully locked, the tire will enter the wheel well just as much as without the lift.
The benefit of the lift (which I have and like) is greater approach and departure angles and it looks cool AF. Also, the Bilsteins and grill are a great upgrade on an SR/SR5.
An upgrade that *does* allow for larger tires is the TRD Pro wheels. The wheel offset difference enables adding 33in tires with just a little heat gun molding around the fender to prevent rubbing.
The funniest moment of this video was seeing him sit in the back seat. 😂
FYI the rear seat head rest fold down so you can see out the back windows better. Your supposed to take them completely out and the seat will fold flat.
Exactly, don't even know how some people "struggle" with this feature 😒
I love you guys but FYI, that skid plate is ONLY standard on the Pro, but is an option on any model. Keep up the great work.
I wish they offered my 4runner same lift option
My tacoma was a pain to get in 4lo when new but after using it a few times it goes right in.
You have to move the rear headrest to those holes in the seat bottom that you folded up and the back will lay flat. I think I would just do aftermarket Fox lift instead of what that truck has though. Definitely starting to think a Pro isn't necessary like I used to think though.
Yeah pros are largely a waste unless you just want something that looks cool and aren’t planning on doing any mods.
TRD lift makes the tacoma look exactly like it "SHOULD" look stock. Slightly higher, and leveled. If I were buying a new tacoma, I would definitely get this option. As I have a 2016, I am just going to do a 3.5" rough country
Do you know what's the largest tire size you can run with the factory lift? Would 33" tires fit with offset rims?
What's that color called is it Army green? It looks darker I love it
Would be cool to see TFL get a Rivian R1T
FYI the on the Ranger the Ford collision systems handle a lift just fine. They don’t “go wonky” as you claim. Ford also offers a Fox lift for about the same 1500 + labor that also retains the full warranty.
I just bought one so worth it do it guys I’m coming from a 2020 Ford ranger this handled like a beast compared to the ranger promise you and the price is more but 7k more for actual solid truck do it resale will hold.
can you comment on the MPG affect with the oem lift?
The rear seat head rests are to be removed and inserted into the designated holes on the folded bottom seat.
would love TFL all terrain tire ranking review
#1) BFGoodrich KO2
#2) The Rest
You can get a K&N filter which is the same as the TRD FILTER for around $60. For $189 you can get the 57 FIPK cold air intake from K&N which uses the stock air box and eliminates the resonator box from the stock intake making a smoother path from the air box to the throttle body. This really improves throttle response. It also adds 11 Lb ft of torque and 9hp according to K&N’s dyno tests.
@life phobic there has been some questions of filtering efficiency on dirt bikes in extreme dusty conditions. The TRD filter is the same oiled cotton filter as K&N and is probably made by them. I’ve used K&N filters on every vehicle I’ve owned since they came out. My son is still driving my 2007 Honda Odyssey with over 300,000 miles on it without engine issues
Love my 2020 PRO however I have had nothing but trouble with engaging the 4wd drive system. Will be going on my third actuator soon. I can't trust it. Very frustrating.
You do know that on the head rest at 10:38, you can take them out an put them in the holes of the seat area, as you can see 2 holes in it which is ment for that, so you can fit the back part all the way down!~
If I had to get a Tacoma, it would be this one with a manual.
But the best 4x4 dollar for dollar is the ZR2. Less expensive, off road tires, front and rear lockers (rear locks in 2wd), fully(mostly) defeatable stability control, better brakes, better shocks, more power, more torque, etc. People preach about Toyota resale and reliability, but resale value on the ZR2 is high and, so far so good on reliability with almost 60K. Zero issues locking into 4lo or lockers when needed
Nice that you can lock the rear in 2wd.
@@pulledofftheroad The Ford Ranger FX4 rear diffental can be locked in two wheel drive also. There's also a FX2 that is only two wheel drive, but can lock the the rear wheels.
The headrests come off and store in the folded seats. There are holes to store them.
Take the back headrest off and put it into the holes that appear from the folded seat.
Wish I could buy this...nice long lasting trucks
Interesting take on things I have a 2020 TRD pro Army green and the difference between the two trucks is a lot more than just bling better suspension rigid fog lights, nicer headlamps better looking wheels nicer and more durable interior upgraded air filters and desert intake under the hood dual ARB air compressor and so much more. Also in your video when you fold down the backseats to make a storage space you don’t try and force the head rests down they detach and fastened into the holes on the seat you flip-up. Also cannot recovery points under the vehicle the manufacturer Tiedown points. He’s tied down points are to tie down the vehicle or when it’s in shipping if you tried to use them as a recovery point there is a real possibility that they will sheer off the vehicle and you quite possibly could end up hurting somebody. So if you’re looking to get yourself pulled out of the situation I would probably put a recovery point in the rear hitch all get yourself a fully engineered properly rated from the recovery point that’s fastened to your frame. In your video you also mention the small rim size of the wheels, well that’s kind of crucial for off roading most off road use 16 to 17 inch wheels so they can have more sidewall for airing down . My biggest criticism to Toyota about their trucks is they don’t offer a long distance midship fuel tank living in North America it would be a very nice option to have. It would keep the weight and the centre of gravity Low, you wouldn’t have to mouth extra fuel cans on the roof or on the back of the vehicle somewhere. There are many Australian companies who make some really nice ones however because they don’t sell the the Comac in Australia they don’t have them available for the Tacoma otherwise I would ship one over. Now the off-road truck will save you some money for sure but if you wanna turn it into an overland vehicle or a really capable off-road truck you’ll be spending that money. In my experience none of the trucks offered by any of the manufacturers come fully ready where you’ll be totally happy and not have to spend additional money believe me you will be spending additional money.
Off road best looking rims...flawless
I’m really debating on buying one of these or buying a 2024 Tacoma. I finally saved up for one
I wish they were affordable for normal people.
It says "D4S" on the engine cover. If anybody is wondering thats the name for the self cleaning system it has. It cleans carbon buildup off the injectors during hot idle and has a 10 second cleaning cycle and a 10 minute cleaning cycle. Ive never ever heard it talked about before. It sounds audibly different in that clean cycle, would be awesome if you guys had a way to show us that.
It’s not designed as a self cleaning engine. Toyota uses a blended approach to using port and direct fuel injection to give the best possible performance, emissions and economy. The ecm makes this decision based on throttle input and engine temperature. It will use one or the other or both based on the needs at the time.
@@RichfieldAutoCenter don’t come in here trying to infuse some real facts. Let this guy keep thinking it’s a “self cleaning” system..
So with all the upgrades, leather, door trim, shifter, skid plate and all how much are you saving over just buying a TRD Pro that comes with most of that already on it minus the lift?
the rear seat does collapse all the way. Think you may need to move the front seat forward a bit more.
you have to take off the back seat headrest for the seat to lay flat
Out of all the videos i have seen nobody has taken advantage of the folded down rear seat... The headrests come out and will install in the bottom seat that is folded up Do you see those holes that match the headrest holes?
Is this your first time in a truck?? 4H, foot on brakes, put truck in neutral, push button in, turn to 4L. Rear seats, remove headrests, seats fold down flat. One big dog bed and my springer gets the entire back seat to himself. The pockets in the box are not for storing wood planks. (?) They are for wooden supports so you can have a wood floor above the wheel wells. I think this guy might be a teacher.
You might want to check that 4 low with a mechanic. I have a 2020 Tacoma limited (non TRD) and I have zero problems with the 4 low and for some reason I get more MPG's then what people have said, what the truck estimates and what the spec sheet says. Don't ask me why because I don't know I'm just appreciative it does.
How about a warranty check at the dealer
up here in Canada they offer an upgraded Grill with the Lift Kit Package
Yeah looks like the one in the video has that too
@@keyhere it may have been overlooked as it was likely delivered that way. It was really just to point out that is another thing to mention as that may sway people even moreso
is the lift kit at the back the spacer only? I would not want to get the spacer but do a full lift kit thou.
Do you need wheel spacer’s if you put 265/75/16’s on that with the lift ?
Manual transmission comes with better gearing and on the off road Mt only comes with 4 door. If you want an access cab with the MT and better gears you need to go with the trd sport.
The interior is still light years ahead of the Colorado/Canyon. One of the reasons I went with my 2020 Off Road instead of a Zr2. I love the exterior of the Zr2 but the interior is lame. Of course the Zr2 is better off road but the reliability of the Tacoma is more important to me. Only thing about the interior of my truck that drives me nuts is the steering wheel does not tilt low enough or telescope out far enough for me to be comfortable as I'd like to be going down the highway.
I drove a 2020 TRD Offroad as a rental recently, brand new, 4 miles on the clock. I was so happy to be able to drive it after my 2000 4runner. Well, huge disappointment. The 3.5 is dangerously gutless, zero torque under 3k rpm. On top of that the 6 speed auto has the worst programming I've ever experienced. Continuous 4-5-6, 4-5-6 shift hunting on a slight incline with the cruise control set to 70. Seats were quite uncomfortable. Got 17-18 mpg on the highway, that's ok I guess. On the positive side, it was very good on the Arizona trails, crawl control and rear locker are great. Maybe I'd buy a manual, but the 3.5 with the 6 speed auto kills this for me.
Gutless wonder that 3.5L is. 4.0L 2nd gen > 3.5L 3rd gen
I felt the same way when I drove one. Ended up with a Ranger fx4 and zero regrets. Lots of power on demand, no funky shifting and just got over 24mpg overall on a 600 mile vacation. Can’t beat it. Oh msrp was 10k less than the Toyota too.
@@incotravl5211 26k for a fx4 ranger? Where?
Don’t ever buy one
I have a manual in mine so I don’t have to deal with the gear hunting, but i can’t drive it for longer than an hour without my back starting to hurt. Just not a very comfortable truck
How does it have the heritage grill? Is that not unique to the TRD Pro?
The pro grill and trd skid plate are part of the 1400 dollar lift package
Exactly. By the time you add all of this stuff to the off-road, you’re in TRD pro price territory.
@@silvervalleya-frame7829 Nope, not even close.
@@Dwealdric dude I priced them out, it’s extremely close.
@@silvervalleya-frame7829 In the US the difference is $3k. Here in Canada the difference is a ridiculous $9k
@@Dwealdric Jesus 9k is significant. Yeah, around 2500-3000 is the value I had.
I miss my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road everyday!! But it just didn’t have room for the babies car seat!
Did you have the 4 door?
The best in it's class...
Off road means slower speeds with fewer miles per gallon and further from gas stations. Despite that the Tundra with its 15 mpg off road fuel economy is only available with a 21 gallon fuel tank. It is wise to use one third of the tank to go off the beaten track and leave one third for the return trip and have one third in reserve. With the Toyota Tacoma that would be a useful range of only 90 miles. So unless one likes to have 5-gallone jerry cans mounted to the truck then the Ram Rebel with its option for a 33-gallon gas tank is a much better choice. If you are set on a Toyota pickup then best to buy the Tundra with its 38-gallon gas tank.
No, bigger tires only give you 50% of the lift but 100% reduction in wheel torque matching the percentage of reduction in revs per mile
So is it better just to get the off road instead of the pro? and it's still cheaper even after a lift and bigger tires?
Are those blsteins better than the bilsteins that come with the 2023 offroad ones.
I'll never understand why these reviewer's don't do some research on the vehicle before hand. Not knowing how to use the back headrests properly looks so amateur.
Im in canada, looking for manual, we have a access cab off road with locker or crew cab no locker 4k more. What do you buy ?
My 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, premium and technology pkgs and a 6’ bed is the best Tacoma, because it’s mine 😁
So if ordered from the factory is the lift kit factory installed or dealer installed?
Mine feels the same hunting for gears in Texas. Lack of power really but for 20-22 mpg, it’s a small complaint
the floorboards are high because it's giving us more clearance, which is what's important.
13. Toyota Tacoma
• Most common complaint: Power train (17 complaints)
• Total complaints 32
• 2019 sales (through Q3): 187,622
• Vehicle type: Mid-size pickup
Of the 32 filed complaints for the 2019 Toyota Tacoma, most related to the power train. Several Tacoma drivers noted that their transmission overheated quickly, while others said the transmission shutters and jerked when accelerating. USAToday
If you order the lift kit parts individually it’s about $1,000. If you want just the suspension/lift then it’s just $700
That $700 chrome exhaust tip has to be equivalent to adding at least 20HP!
j/k
Its gotta be a full TRD Exhaust for $700. No way its just the tip.
The difficulty getting it from 4h to 4l and vice versa is usually due to the truck not being in neutral.
Gotta be smarter than the equipment if your gonna operate it
With my 2010 TRD Offroad, to access low range I just stop and push the clutch to the floor and it goes in to and out of low range with no problems. Must be a slushbox problem.
According to the manual and The Car Care Nut channel, the ADD must be exercised each month (to lube the front hubs and I also expect to keep the contacts clean. AMD states that it's OK to switch back and forth 2Hi and 4Hi on dry hard surface roads as long as you're traveling straight with only mild turns. AMD is a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician in Rust Belt Chicagoland.
FYI go into neutral to get into 4WL
I wonder if that jack still works with the factor lift kit
Yeah. They supply a factory wooden block.
Seriously considering this truck. Dealer says you can only get a short 5’1” bed with the manual transmission for the 2022 at least which kinda sucks. I wish there was a way to get a 6’ bed with a manual.
Great review Tommy!
The problem with that lift is that, unless you get extremely offset rims, you're still not gonna be able to go with bigger tires unless you chop the body mounts. And trust me, once you do that and add the bigger tires it will drive the lane departure and collision avoidance system crazy! I signed a waver and had all that crap disconnected on my 2019 TRD offroad.
Another thing I've found is that the Bilsteins are to soft. You come off a ledge a bit to hard, the suspension compresses and you bottom out. My recommendation.... Ironman lift kit and a body mount chop. Throw away the front sway bar. Zero offset 16 x 9 light aluminum wheels and a good set of 33s. You'll do good without having to re-gear.
With the Army Green... it's 'Dress Right Dress' !! when you enter & depart from this vehicle
Is the lift high than the Pro's or the same?
Love that truck. I got a 2020 trd off road wouldn’t mind buying that lift and a little bigger tires. Would look good with some bfg all terrain KO2s.
Great tires. Ran them on my 4Runner for years.
You can run bigger tires stock and skip the cheap factory lift
The part I wanted to see the most is the back seat fold-down option. We need a do-over on that. The headrest holes are scene on the back of the seat. The headrest must go there. When the platform is properly utilized it should be flat. I'm thinking of a Tacoma and that fold flat seat would be perfect for my dog. I wish TFL would consider covering this in their videos it would be helpful to know how dog-friendly the cars and trucks are when doing research. I know one of you must have a dog. How many views have a dog and would like to see this covered? I have a sixty-pound dog and she goes everywhere with me. I need a truck that he would be comfortable in.
