UNPOPULAR OPINION:

Not the top ones, but those bottom ones are lusty for an OEM wheel and still look great to me.

 

Port installed maybe.

 

Yeah. That's a port installed package and not what I was talking about.

 

Regardless, they are Original Equipment aka OE.

 

I have some soul searching to do. I want a Tacoma because they're ultra reliable. I want a diesel because they're ultra reliable. They're expensive and stinky but the temptation is still there since this is the last truck I will ever buy (as the plan goes)

 

Okay

 

As someone who repairs and maintains diesel engines, I agree.

 

I can tell you with lots of first hand experience, emissions compliant diesel engine today pail in comparison to pre-emissions diesel engines. As soon as EGR's were installed and then VGT's, DPF's, SCR's... gas engines have evolved in the last 20 years... diesels despite all the electronic upgrades got worse...

I have zero interest in a modern diesel vehicle... even a hybrid version...

When I got my 2G I thought the plug in the bed was the coolest thing ever. I don't believe I ever used it.

I actually had a chance to use the one on my 3G during an extended power failure. I hooked up my wife's Ninja coffee bar and it didn't work. I didn't realize it would pull that much power, but I tried once and that was that.

I keep forgetting how much I like the OEM OR wheels until I see a set on a truck with knobby tires. I'm on 2016-2019 Sport wheels for snow but will likely drop back to 16" OR wheels for the next set.

 

-25 offset is poor man's long travel.

 

Oh, that's a good one. I've been wheeling on stock Pro suspension for 2 and a half years, 1 year of that on 33s. Only just now considering changing out the rear suspension because of how much weight I put on the truck. 45k miles I think I got my money out of it...
