    for the price of the limited just get fox adjustable reservoir shocks and C/Os if thats the ONLY thing youre looking for... that way you get a much better ride all the time with the adjustability to have a nice ride offroad too. Plus hands down better performance all around if thats your thing :burnrubber:

    Center console divider thingy, rubber bed mat and side steps for the wife.
    The Sport has its own suspension, even states so in the model literature on the website for the sport "TRD sport-tuned suspension".. it is a bit stiffer and "sporty" as it should be I suppose.. I found a much different ride in the Limited which I liked better. So I changed my order.. Supposed to come in mid month.

    I don't know why the dealers are putting 35psi+ in the tires. New, it was like that. They did it at the 5k service and another dealer did it again at the 10k.

    I'm ok with less mpg and a softer ride.

    Might be never, I have no issues with mine. Constant shifting for the first 1000 miles, then it suddenly stopped.

    I love the ride on my TRD... the wifey says.."I like the stiff ride"...and there is NO rattles or squeaks, etc...
    Sure, if ya hit some rough road, you might bounce around a little bit, but It's a truck... If I want comfort and a good suspension...I'll go cut the lawn with my Craftsman Tractor..(it has a beer holder)..hehe:thumbsup:

    Mine came off the lot at 37psi all around. Aired them down to 32 and it feels great. I'm sure the 5100s and Icon 3 leaf going in next week will make me even happier but I also think that I plan on using the truck differently than the OP so I'm happy with a different feel. Coming from the Jeep world since basically forever, this sport feels plush, like, really plush. Either I got lucky or just have much different perspective or expectations.

    Except for the 2 extremes....ride quality can be a bit subjective. Personally, having owned 2 non Sport Tacos, I find the ride firm and controlled. But certainly not harsh at all. My wife never complains about it when she's riding in or driving it. And believe me....if someone was going to complain...it would be her. o_O

    My 98 yr old grandmother actually complimented how smooth it was on the highway once. Seriously. :D

    There's a highway entrance ramp that has a banked decreasing radius that I use every day. My Sport wallows a lot less on it than either of my 1st 2 Tacos. I have to assume that's because of the suspension and 17" tires

    Just to follow up on my post. I know I don't have a G3. But from what I can tell there's little to no difference between the G2 and G3 suspensions. So I confident the 2 Sport gens are sprung and valved about the same.

    Figured I'd better say that before someone said..."you don't even own a G3. Go back to the G2 forum".
