    Full gas tank + other cargo in the cab vs. unladen and low on fuel?

    Happy Friday TW.. I'd be disappointed with anything different.

    The only logical explanation is that the 2021 SR5 cement Tacoma had 900lbs of gold bars in the cab.

    ...or perhaps he's one of the folks with a 4800lb travel trailer with no suspension upgrades.. enough to turn the smile upside down (rear leaf shape.)

    I really can't figure it out, but i swear theres something different in these later gen3 sr, and sr5 trucks suspension that make them appear lower.

    I have a 2 wheel drive. When I got it the truck did sit lower. But I looked at the specs of both 4wd and 2wd on the Toyota web site and they were the same. I put a 3 on spacer lift on it and it was still lower than a 4wd with a 3 inch lift. I changed the entire suspension to Dobinson 2.5 inch and now it is the same height as all the other lifted 4wd. Go figure.
