Bought a truck. It's not a car.

after thinking about it. i think i may ask the dealer to switch out the tires. to a less agressive terrain, more highway tire. so which tire should ask for

 

More likely they'll be able to make a big downstroke on their kids braces.

They are in business to make money while making you think you got a good deal, thus you think you are happy.

Yep, I used to see loads of TSS Tacomas when I lived in central/south Texas. These:

 

thats exactly what i have except mine is a 4 x 2 SR

 

I just put standard load Yokohama geolanadar G015 tires on the wife 4Runner. Smooth, quiet, probably still decent on mild trails, and MPG went up compared to load E duratracs that came off.

:edit: unless the dealer will swap it for free or very little charge, just go to a tire shop and sell the old tires.

 

Get some Super Swampers, they ride as smooth as glass. You'll think your driving a Prius.

 

i currently have the nitto terra grappler g2
265/65/17

 

And don't forget the big surprise too...........You get a lesson on how to work everything in your new Honda from Honda Pro Jason!

 

I can't make any sense of this thread anymore, so I'll just add an emoji I've never used as my input.

 

You might be able to afford it if you don’t keep buying new cars all the time.

Ridgelines are less expensive than Tacomas anyways.

 

4x4 vs FWD isn't a fair comparison. 4x2 DCSB TRD off-road has 1420lbs payload.

 

Tire pressure down to 30 first then TRD Off-road shocks if that doesn’t soften it up. The ride can be improved for far less than you will lose on a trade in.

Welcome to TW!

 

Sound's like the OP made up his mind. Let it go and eat the loss, live and learn.

 

Wait so Toyota has 2 different acronyms for TSS??? That's dumb on their part...

Back on task the Tacoma doesn't have the smoothest ride at stock, because it is primarily used for offroading and built for such. So Toyota put more into a "performance suspension" and making it a better offroad vehicle than they did ride comfort. You should also take into consideration the tires they added to it. They seem to be a beefier tire with more mass making the poor little l4 work harder not to mention I had terra grapplers on my last truck and it rode a bit rougher than stock. Also at 500 miles Your truck hasn't fully broken in and still has some learning to do. The computer will learn your driving and make adjustments as it learns and the ride will smooth out a little, mainly at shift points.

 

It’s never going to ride like a car...

 

Thanks devan .Great reply

 

2WD 2.7 Access Cabs have 1600lbs. Surprisingly the truckiest of trucks and only 2WD!

 

It’s the “Totally Shitty Suspension” Package, TSS.
