    Hey I’m new to forum first post. I have a 2017 tacoma TRD Sport MT. Wanted a reliable vehicle for wife to drive during the week. Also wanted resell value. Is there anything I can do to it to make it more enjoyable to drive? Mostly I just lug around and get stuck. I wish it had more torque. My last truck was a 93 f250 460 and it was more enjoyable. Just pulled like a train from idle. First feels to low and second u have to slip at like 4K to get moving. The suspension and cabin is nice though.
    As for me. I am an owner operator stepdeck boi. 550 cat 18 speed glider 389. ELD exempt emissions exempt. IG:bigdaddystep

    Probably long after someone decides I have good advice!
    Seriously, I have a lot of TW friends with a lot of mods, and tires is just about the only mod that doesn't force more mods. (It can though, if you do too much!) Tacomas are really very capable, but those tires definitely won't get you safely through where you pictured!

    :rofl::rofl::rofl: Mine are just Ironman M/T, probably from Wal-Mart, but they were new when I got the old girl in 2017, and I just can't justify tossing tires that just barely turned 10K miles on my retirement income. In a year or so.....
    But, see, even M/T tires won't get you out of a giant mud puddle!

    I got stuck the other day. Feels bad. All I wanted to do was drive through the woods and stuff.
    Then I hit a tree.
