    I just got a 2012 TX Pro DC (aka TRD Off Road) with tow pkg. It's consistent with other TRD Off Road folks--3 pack. Hope the TSB fix becomes an option for 2012!

    Id love to see pics of these "overloaded" sagging Tacomas hitting bump stops with only a couple hundred pounds. I have doubts

    Exactly. I just hauled about 700-800 lbs and had no problems. Yes, it sagged but it was a smooth ride. I would like those 4-leaf springs, though. Especially since I have the towing pkg.

    my dad's PreRunner will bottom out with 5 people in the cab over speedbumps. with the 3 leaf pack.

    he does load his truck to capacity quite often though.

    BTW if anyone on OAHU wants to sell they're 4 leaf pack, LMK!

    Give it a few months. I'm getting mine replace for the second time due to breaking hauling a small honda atv.
    I'm not at all impressed with the 4 leaf pack. I'm going aftermarket this summer

    Had my 2012 serviced last week under the free service plan and asked about the TSB for my TRD OR. Spoke with the service manager and he called toyota and was told there was no planned TSB for 2012s, but it would be on truck-by-truck basis. Of course they found no issues with my TRD OR. He told me if I had any further issues or questions to call Toyota at their 800 number. Looks like an aftermarket in my near future.

    2012 DC, OR, Tow package here and i have the 3 leaf pack as well. For those of you who complained about the 3 leaf pack how much weight did it take before bottoming out? I have hauled a bunch in my truck so far and have not experienced all the complaints i see on here associated with the 3 leaf pack. Or is it expected once i get some age and miles on my springs?

    Send me an email address and I will send you a pic of my 2012 Tacoma sagging with nothing more than a 22' deck boat sitting on a tandem axle trailer. I can pick the front of my trailer up by hand with the boat on it. Cant be more than 200lbs on the tongue.

    My 2012 Dbl cab TRD 4x4 WITH tow package came with a 3 pack, the same exact truck sitting next to it, with a sport package, including a hood scoop, different paint package and 17" rims...4 pack. WTF Toyota???
