I've always enjoyed this guy's content. Some good insight here into the 2024 Tacoma's wider track width (on TRD Pro and Trailhunter), suspension travel, front swayback disconnect and lack of front locker.

Summary of why these are so called "misses":

SUSPENSION TRAVEL
  • 3" wider track on TRD Pro & Trailhunter trims
  • the wider track comes from lower wheel offset and fender flares, not longer lower control arms (LCA)
  • therefore, suspension travel not actually improved over 3rd gen Tacoma
FRONT SWAYBAR DISCONNECT
  • It's a "miss" because this feature has been undersold by Toyota
    • Real world articulation numbers should actually be better than the 10% articulation gain (when swaybar is disconnected) as quoted by Toyota
NO FRONT LOCKER (speaks for itself)

The suspension travel part is disappointing, I wonder how it compares to the Colorado ZR2 and the Ranger Raptor.
If he’s right, about 2” less travel than the ZR2. A little less than that for the Ranger Raptor. It’s in the vid.

Glad someone else shared this. Just subscribed to them. Will probably end up adding king or something else but hoping the OME is better than the existing trd suspension out the box.

In one of the interviews, Brown mentions the higher allowable angle in the CV joints for the top OR trucks. Very curious if something like the Titan swap on the Frontier is possible w Tundra parts.

Deal breaker for me. It’s gonna cost as much as a raptor and yet will need a $10K mid travel kit
