I also have a stock trd off road 2020 and it blew my mind off road. I’m a guy use to old fords before it .and just the ease it gets me around on some hairy roads here in wv. You can totally tell it was built to work in places like Africa. Like it’s built to be off road for just like that for miles. I put some Toyos on it. I wish it came with better tires
Nice. 2 to 3 inch lift and some better tires would get you through those areas where it was hung up or lacked traction. Thw stock Tacoma did well. Some people think you need to throw alot of money at the truck before you can have fun offroading.
@@remotecontrolcentral4928 not true, a lifted one with a quality suspension will handle way better on and off road, don't spew false information if you don't know what you're talking about
@@RagingBad I had a Tacoma that was lifted 3 inches and it was high quality it drove fine around town but on the highway it had no power and was much slower and did not handle as well
@@remotecontrolcentral4928 if it had no power you were probably running 35’s and you should’ve regear it, and if it didn’t handle well on the highway your suspension wasn’t good quality
Crawl control is not meant for that scenario. The front bumper of the taco was hitting that soil you can also see how the tacom fitted perfectly that;s why the tires were not getting traction.
Whoever in the video pointing out that one of the wheels wasn't moving while you were using the crawl control, you should let them know that, that means that wheel has traction while the others are spinning to find traction. Entertaining video none the less!
Whatever fancy electronic gadgets they put on the truck and call it off road or turd or whatever, if it has street tires and the tread fills up with mud, it is like having no tread at all.
@@greenlawnfarm5827 they are also inexperienced, I've seen Tacomas with the same stock tires go through mud like that without getting stuck, another thing that didn't helped him was low ground clearance
Considering the trash stock tires this could’ve gone much worse! Got the cooper STT Pro on mine now and the OffRoad capability is insane. On stock suspension too.
Cool Vid. My basically stock 88 FJ62 straight axle with 32" Wrangers has no problem out there or anywhere fact being. She's a beast but a tank to drive long distance. I refuse to tear up my 2020 TRD stock. Too expensive and not made stock for it. Got trailer and 4-wheeler to get where I want. I use them for work (environmental surveying).
Nice video man! I know you mentioned it but instead of using the ball hitch you can always just take the hitch out and attach the rope to the hitch pin 🤙🏼
It's pretty tame actually, but if you just like a nice ride through the woods it's not bad. They have made a lot of the fun spots off limits now. Now everyone congregates around these deep rut areas. We did a night ride out there recently and it was fun.
Hate to say it but don’t keep high centering the truck on ruts obviously too deep. I know y’all were having fun but realistically your truck needs to be lifted with bigger tires for those trails.
Bilstein 6112 & 5160 shocks with 33's would have made a big difference and a front locker. I hope Toyota puts in a front locker in the next couple of years and a diesel engine option and or 4.7L V8 option
They're very capable stock, your problem was ground clearance, you definitely need a lift and better tires to exploit the full potential of the 🌮 stock tires are absolute garbage
Although this video does show some of the capabilities of the tacoma, the video was one of the most boring ive seen. The broken record "music" made watching it even worse!
Never realized a Tacoma could also be used as a bulldozer.

Great video! Stock 4runner SR5 is pretty impressive. Atrac was doing it's thing.
The 4Runner was the hero of the day!!!
Ive wheeled all over the world mud tires make all the difference in Florida
That 4Runnner SR5 did pretty darn well

Plus a stock Tacoma drives so much better than a lifted one win win

@@remotecontrolcentral4928 what do you call high quality? Also if the tires are bigger it will take a little bit more to accelerate

Great performance on those trails! I have a 2018 SR5 with the same tiger running boards. I love the black paint on your wheels !
@family adventures do you know what color is best for the Tacoma if I go off-road? I love the army green if that helps

@@RagingBad Yeah. People think tires is all that matters.
great stuff, guys! Coming up to Orlando with my 2017 TRD OFFROAD in a week.. Can't wait.
That was awesome love watching stock trucks do cool stuff

Great footages of showing the tacoma at work. Thanks and I just subscribed.
Why is it not recommended to use ball hitch as a recovery point?
A ball hitch is not designed to be aggressively yanked on during a recovery. There is a possibility the ball could sheer off and become a cannon ball.

knightacoma thanks man, and the rope I use is too thick for that.. my buddies need to invest in better recovery gear lol
4Runners are okay they're just too top heavy. You need to be able to put like 2-in wheel spacers on those things
This place looks like a lot of fun.

@@TheVikingSailor have you been to Hollowpaw?
Very fun trails, I take my 4runner there once in a while
Where is this?
great video!! i appreciate you naming the trails
New Tacoma looks great
Even though was stuck once...way to go Sport PreRunner...
Hate to say it but don’t keep high centering the truck on ruts obviously too deep. I know y’all were having fun but realistically your truck needs to be lifted with bigger tires for those trails.
Great video y'all! I have that same exact 2nd gen Tacoma. TRD Sport with 32in tires. This is a Tacoma brother from Texas y'all!
3 inch lift would have changed everything
Bilstein 6112 & 5160 shocks with 33's would have made a big difference and a front locker. I hope Toyota puts in a front locker in the next couple of years and a diesel engine option and or 4.7L V8 option
Keep dreaming :-)
For this terrain the 5100's are enough, and you don't need a front locker 9n those trails
Great Video and Great Rigs! Love Citrus! We Off-road all over the country and that’s the only place I ever got stuck. 😂
I’m pretty sure I know exactly where you got stuck.. lol
Love the video! Thanks for sharing!
Sweet video and dig the music, had to subscribe
Next time turn off the techno music and just let us hear the engine and the trails.
For sure, but that was the vibe 3 years ago lol
Great video!!
Same color! Nice
love this music track
Know any good areas near west palm?
Stock tacoma trd offroad, stock height, and stock tires going down that slope was not a good idea. I would of never attempted that lol.
Use mts on mud with the diff locked.
Why would that Tacoma attempt to do as the Jeep’s did, it’s too long
Did yall air down?
Was the trd sport 2wd?
Yurd dat

4runner AD. Lol
In enjoyed the footage, but had to turn off the awful music.
Except for the unnecessary music good video.
Have to lift your taco bro
Tacoma needs tires.
And a lift
Although this video does show some of the capabilities of the tacoma, the video was one of the most boring ive seen. The broken record "music" made watching it even worse!
Repeat after me...A toyota is not a jeep. A toyota is not a jeep. Impressive nonetheless.
And thank God is not, it's a better product
Just fu?$ up your truck …SMH
Can't watch with volume up cause the music.No mud person listens to that stuff lol nice video otherwise. Just saying
Wtf is a mud person and what do they listen to?
Mud person here, like electronic music
