My new 2014 Tacoma TRD Off Road

Hey every body. I am new to the forum. This is my 2014 Tacoma TRD Off Road. It has a rear locker, Navigation and the basic amenities.

 

sorry the pics did not load.

 

How's the ride feel on things like the highway with the TRD off-road suspension?

I'm wondering which, if any, is a better ride on pavement... the off-road tuned suspension or the sport suspension offered in the TRD Sports Package?

I have to buy a replacement Tacoma and am looking at both options.

Nice looking ride!

 

It rides great on the highway. i drive around 85 to 90 miles a day on the interstates and side roads.

I mean there is still a little bit of a more bump when you hit one but the seats help to cover the bump up. The power under the hood is very surprising 4L V6. I have not had any worries when i am on the interstate trying to pass anybody.

I would highly recommend this truck to anybody that is looking at one. The price is great too.

 

Nice, welcome to TW.

 

Looks Great, Good choice, it will only get better!

 

I was told by the dealer rep, that the TRD off road has way more stuff on the suspension; than the sport. The sport has the scoop, but it would cost $$$ to bring it up to the off road. So do you want the scoop or the suspension? That's what I was told. I bought the off road. It rode great. But I added a 3" lift and 285/55/20's to it. It looks amazing and I'm proud of it. But those tires do road hunt cause they are way bigger than stock.

 

Thanks.

Ya i cant wait. Right now i am looking at what size lift i will need to fit 33's under the truck and just find the small bits and pieces to make it the way i want.

 

You can go to my handle (locksmithmike) and see my truck. It was like yours new.

 

I went with a 3" lift and put 285/55/20's. Which on the sticker said 33".

 

The big thing with the sport and TRD Off Road is that the off road has the rear locker and the sport does not. The price for the two is around the same brand new. If you want off road possibilities right off the lot i would stick with the Off Road version. The Off Road also comes with bilstein shock front and rear.

 

Cool thanks. Why did you go skinner then stock though?

 

Hey went to your handle and i did not see any pictures on it. I am not sure if I missed them or not. I would like to see what you did to yours.

 

skinnier tire? 285>stock, nice truck btw

 

Looking good, I mean sexy, I mean nice unit, argh I give up, nice truck.

 

Its a great truck. I love my 2014 trd offroad. Welcome to TW.

 

sorry looked at it the wrong way. thanks. Also tire conversions from metric to standard has always confused me.

 

No; the 285/55/20 is bigger than stock. 285=11.5. 55=almost 33". and the 20" is the wheel. What came on the truck=30.5 X10.5 X16> Night Eagle

 

No; the 285/55/20 is bigger than stock. 285=11.5. 55=almost 33". and the 20 is the wheel. What came on the truck was 30.5 X 10.5 X 16. The after market is a metric tire. It's also a low profile tire. It has the deep tread (ExtremeII) which my son in law bought the tire to go on the stock Tacoma wheels and his looks like a street tire that might have come with the truck. He was shocked at the difference. Anyway. I love the look of them and the truck turns heads. So I'm happy.

 

welcome to the site man nice ride thats what i woulda bought too. by the way, if youre looking to lift your truck to fit 33's, fox has coilovers that will bolt right up to your stock set up and come preloaded for 2" of lift. they are the 2.5" bypass remote resevoir coilover, and if you shop it right you can get a set for the front for $1500.
