Great write up, I’ve been through southwestern BC and it’s beautiful. The MPG I find low with it being hwy miles. I guess loaded up with what, 1000 lbs of extras? And a lot of it was hilly mountain driving.
Thank you for sharing @CAMTuning. This is why I’ve avoided getting a trailer brake controller (and am pissed at Toyota for a: not including it and b: not having a separate circuit or ability to easily add an aftermarket one).
Today’s vehicles aren’t the ones many of us grew up doing self...
Bad enough bumpers cost thousands to fix on today’s vehicles, now rear enders cause trucks to be written off.
I like my OR and most things on my Tacoma are an improvement, (big one being mileage, 🤣) but in many ways my 1998 K1500 Silverado was better.
I also wonder, is a Tacoma able to tow...
Nice! Looks tight! I was 50/50 on colour between Blue Crush and Solar Octane when I bought and went with Solar Octane at the last minute.
Are your roof racks Toyota ones and do they sit higher than the shark fin?
Interesting query. I had to get the cloth Off Road seats as the softex is not offered in the 6’ OR. I even prefer the all black SR5 seats. The grey stains easy. Staying tuned….
I like the ‘18’s. I always wanted them, you can buy new take-offs for $1000 around here with tires. At this point I am waiting to see what the ‘27s bring as I may upgrade to an Off Road+. But all 6’ box OR here come with the 17’s
Agree will you, especially about the cab and front of the truck. I’ve said that since I first saw them. 2” more leg room and even drop 3-4 from the front. 👍🏽 @redlimitediforcemax
Cool that it’s a manual. I wanted a manual but I wanted a 6’ bed more.
2 years in I still like mine, I shopped a Sport but ultimately went with the Off Road. No snow in 2 years here on the west coast!
Agree with pretty much what you listed.
The knob is easily fixed by replacing it with the RAV4 knob, about $15 at the dealer. It matches the other knobs better and the Off Road rims too.
Sweet. I’m a bit envious as in Canada Toyota only offers red on high end trims like the Sport Premium (sorry don’t want a sunroof on my 4x4 truck!).
Red was my first choice. Apparently as it’s a main colour on our flag Toyota deems it a premium colour here. Their marketing makes zero sense.
