My 2018 TRD 4x4 Sport

Hi Everyone-

I have had my 2018 TRD Sport for about 6 weeks now and I absolutely love it. This is my first 4x4 vehicle and have a few questions/concerns. I want to start doing some off roading in it. Nothing too crazy since it is my everyday vehicle; but I live in San Diego, and there are a ton of cool spots in the desert that I would love to check out. I am not interested in doing any rock climbing or anything like that; I guess my question is, how good is the 4x4 in the sport version and will it do what I want (desert canyon trails to go camping)?

I look forward to your feedback.

 

Welcome! Your truck, in it's stock form, will go much further than your courage. Have fun!

 

Congrats I just got the same truck also! Definitely want to look into different tires with those plans. I had mine out at my wife's family farm with my "city slicker" tires on. I didn't get stuck but I also wasn't looking for trouble either.

Our stock wheels weigh 62#'s each but if you go with these you will only add 8#'s per wheel. That's my plan but I'm not going into serious mud or rock crawling either.

TRD 4Runner 17" wheels & 265/70r17 BFG KO2 All Terrain in C load. This is a proven combo that is the lightest option & will fit without spending money on a lift.

 

I am looking to purchase the FN FX Pro style wheels from FN wheels since theirs are only 23.88 lbs each, these were the lightest 17" wheel I could find. The stock TRD Sport wheels/tires I have on weight 68 lbs each. With new wheel (24 lbs) and new tire 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT/3's (44 lbs). Looking at staying the same weight with a larger size tire than stock. If I go BFG KO'2s, it would be 75 lbs each wheel/tire.

 

MrBrooks. . .that set up is beyond awesome and is actually exactly what I am looking to get. Do you have any tire rubbing with that set up?

 

I've had the plan of getting these way before I got the truck. Very versatile & don't add much weight plus these are actual Toyota wheels. I like the idea that I'm not doing anything that will give the service dept an excuse to "void" my warranty. Later on down the road i will go bigger just not yet...

BTW the truck in the picture isn't mine just one I saved on my phone of the setup on a silver sky so I have a reference. I think that is lifted & tire size is a tad bigger
