2012 Three leaf pack isn't too bad.

The 2012 SR5's I've seen came with the 4-leaf pack

btw...your dealership service dept is open for biz on Sunday?

btw #2...2012 looks great in white

 

yes it is.. My Sport came with the 4-leaf pack and has done great so far. Now its awsome with the Wheelers Progressive AAL in there..

 

My 2012 3 leafs bottom out with <200lbs in the back. Shits crazy.

 

Is it only the 4WD's that get the TSB leafs now from the factory then? Seems strange.

 

I don't think everyone believes they are "worthless" because, like you say, they do make for a comfy ride. IMHO, that's why Toyota puts them on because the largest number of Tacoma buyers will choose comfort over utility when test driving. It's just that you never hear from those people 'cause they're too busy enjoying their rides

But overloaded is overloaded; even a TSB spring would have likely bottomed carrying a 1700lb overload so that's hardly a testament to anything. But when it bottoms carrying a 900lb rated load, and that's the way you wanna regularly use your truck, THEN you got some reason to call them worthless.

 

Or bottoms out at 700lbs while making a downhill left hand turn. Scared the crap out of me.

My 2012 SR5 had the 3 leaf pack.

 

I find that hard to believe. Actually I think it is BS. Less than 200 Lbs, really. What did you do hit speed bump doing 35 MPH?
