2017 Tacoma TRD Pro

Anyone have any guesses how much suspension travel the new Trd pro will have. I'm hoping 11+ inches.

 

"TRD-tuned front springs with a 1-inch lift, and a progressive-rate offroad leaf spring for the TRD-tuned rear suspension" From the TRD Pro description. I'm 99% sure that is the exact same as the TRD OR. I honestly don't thin the TRD Pro will have any more travel than the 2016 OR.

Yes I'm dead serious. Anything less than 11" and I'm getting an sr5 and putting a total chaos kit on it.
The new Raptor is rumored to be 13.5" and 9" would be way to weak for Baja.

 

That's what I did

 

have you seen how much smaller this truck is than a Raptor? The LCAs limit the front travel and the Raptor has super long LCAs

 

i would put a 2" TC kit if you wanted to compete with a raptor, or if you wanted something with great performance and not the huge price tag. get a SR and go 2.5" front and back icon, king, or fox

 

Toyota enjoys getting the same price point* of a Raptor without actually putting any of the performance on the truck, just fancy graphics and some special paint.

*Obviously the Tacoma is cheaper, but, it comes at a high premium compared to the Offroad/SR5.

 

I know the Lca's appear narrower but possibly the frame rails and mounting points are narrower too so in theory you could have 11" of travel with equal Lca's but a narrower space between where they mount providing for a narrower vehicle over all. I'm pretty sure I'm destined for an aftermarket kit but I owned a 2012 Raptor and having a factory stock vehicle with millions of dollars of factory engineering behind it is nice. I'd rather buy a Trd pro than a Raptor but 11" is kind of minimum travel for the terrain and speed I enjoy. Best guess by peeps in the know for an extended cab raptor not a 4 door is 50-53k.
45k for the Tacoma pro seems a bit steep for 9" but the Raptor was just a big wide pain in the butt for daily driving especially since I live in san clemente and a lot of the streets are narrow and parking can be tough in the summer. I'm just trying to figure it out, I'd rather have a stock vehicle but I'd like 11" of travel. I wished
Toyota would bake that cake with the frosting too!

 

Then why dont you just do what I did with my gen1 tacoma and put a full TC kit on the front. I think strapped at 12-13'' travel and 17'' in the rear.

 

The common reason is: no factory warranty.

 

Yep, mainly why I'm not messing with mine for right now.
