the OR is a little taller up front and obviously has a different rear suspension from the SR. SR/SR5 tread width is also 1cm narrower, the base wheel off-set is probably 5mm greater.
Even though the Tacoma is built in Mexico and the LC in Japan, the hybrid systems use many of the same parts, along with the Tundra and Sequoia. There can simply be total parts availability limitations. I think they’ll launch the Pro and TH on time, but might limit numbers even more and the...
Possible issues (in my tiny mind):
CV had a manufacturing/assembly defect?
CV was the incorrect part (possible there are multiple CV parts for different trims?)
Center axle disconnect wasn’t engaged fully (due to a burr on something) ?
Failure was actually in the t-case?
I seriously doubt...
Nice to see some attention on the SR5. Not surprised by the rear springs being a little soft. Once the landcruiser aftermarket stuff comes online, there should be good spring with higher rates to pop in there
Looks like SRs are shipping with Aluminum wheels right now.
I'm curious to know how the thing RIDES. Losing the rear coil suspension is probably the hardest thing to look past.
To me they look like 18s. Dealership (universal in San Antonio) lists that truck, but no dealer ad-ons. The Video poster hasn't answered any questions on YT.
Have you watched the end of the longer Wescott video posted on Tuesday? Shows zero and PLUS 25 wheels. based on the "poke" here, I would say these are closer to +25.
The Instagram post said they were 285/75R17, so that specs out at 34". They have a longer video out now (at 9:40) with some positive offset wheels that fit 35's.
Wheel Offsets EXPLAINED with the New Toyota Tacoma 2024 (youtube.com)
It was impressive to see the Tacoma, while being down on HP and torque, not struggling any more with this load. The fuel consumption is fine- most trucks use more than twice their regular towing mileage on this test, or somewhere below 1/4 the unloaded mpg. The fuel tank size is really marginal...
They did a much nicer job in the Tundra- the small screen is just part of the dash instead of sticking up, as it does here. The domestic competition all have 10"+ screens standard now
So this looks like choosing iForceMax on a TRD-OR will force Premium. That really narrows the price gap to the Pro and TH: Premium is $8800 and the hybrid option costs $3500 on a Tundra Limited. Makes for $57-60k TRDOR.
