BRAND NEW SPORT OR OFFROAD...why?

yeah same here

 

I used to think that too years ago when I had a 2nd gen access cab. Then I started seeing the doublecab shortbeds around lifted and it changed there look and made them look better.

 

I just love the look of the 4 door long beds lifted. Absolutely beautiful haha

Yeah understandable, I can't imagine the resale on an offroad would surpass the resale of a sport in places like Hawaii or Florida.

 

My 2 cents is just buy what you like. I bought the sport because I like the look, it was a great deal for me, and it had everything I was looking for. I use it for commuting and hauling about 95% and wanted good on-road ride quality. Off-roading would be the other 5% of the time and that's just going down gravel/dirt roads or across fields. All models of Tacoma can handle that.

 

Ya, there's a guy named Mike C that has a youtube channel with a black longbed lifted on 33's Ive watched a few times.

 

I’ll have to look that up. Can you fit 33’s on a level or has to be lifted?

 

He has an Icon lift on his with 2 1/4" in front and since he only got 3/4" from the AAL he added a 1 inch block also in the rear so now it has rake. In his case he picked a 33" tire that runs big and actually measures 33.1" along with wheels that are out a little past the fender so he had to get the cab mount chopped.

 

funny I just watched that video where he explained his suspension. It’s a nice truck!

 

Thanks for the insult.

I used 3 ratchet straps to secure my load. The carpet and underlay was wedged in the middle and not going anywhere. The red tape was just for added safety. I’m very good at securing my loads. I’ve never had anything come loose or fly out of my bed, ever and I use my truck bed a lot.

 

Off Road, the Sport is for the lycra, road bike i'm a dentist crowd

 

hahaha

 

Not just a scoop--a FAKE scoop. You don't buy a truck for "handling." The Sport finds a lot of buyers, but it mystifies me.

I'd get the Off Road, if I'm spending that kind of money.

But I'm a cheap bastard, so I got the SR.

 

4 door SR with a v6 and manual would’ve been my dream truck.

Thanks Toyota for not making that configuration.

 

Im a truck driver so automatic has my heart haha

 

Bro they ought to offer the 6 speed in every configuration. I would have bought that in a heartbeat.

In fact there's no car I've ever bought with an Auto (99 Merc C class, 05 F150, 2012 Jetta, 2019 Tacoma) that I wouldn't have picked a stick instead. Never unhappy with the sticks I've had (87 Ranger, 92 Eclipse, 95.5 Tacoma (OG!), 99 F150, 03 Corolla, and 16 Mazda 6).

Pour one out for the dearly departed.

 

Only those with a sport.

 

Ha!

I had one silver automatic lowered 2003 accord and I hated that thing with a passion. Was a nice car, the only reason I got it was because I got a great deal from my buddy.

The rest of my vehicles were black and manual. I miss every single one of them, still.

 

... or someone who wants MT and a long bed (in the US).

 

I agree, if primarily off-roading get the OR, however the Sport is the best 'All-Around' truck for OR around town and road truck.
