2016 rear springs

Looks like the 2016 has 4-leafs in the rear.

 

I noticed that as well. Hopefully it has a better spring rate the current gen Tacomas

 

OK.

 

4 flat leafs from the look of it

 

Looks like 3+1 (the fourth is an overload).

They did mention all new spring rates for the 2016.

 

I wonder if it's the same 4-leaf pack they're using in TSB? There's an auto show here this weekend. Wonder if they'll have a 2016. I want to see if my air bags would swap over.

 

i was just thinking the same thing

 

4 leaf is better than 3... (A 3 leaf is 2 + overload)

 

They both are shit , the 4 leaf is just shit + 1

 

FYI all 6 lug tacomas made after october 2013 have had the 3+1 leaf packs.... 10 buck says its the same damn suspension found on current tacomas, no different.

 

So Shit with some Glitter?

 

They almost appear to be reverse camber lol
A design they know too well

 

Like putting lipstick on a pig

 

I was really hoping for a multi-link + progressive coils like the 09+ RAMs. As soon as I saw that the frame and bed hadn't changed though, I knew we were in for more of the same.

I have the 3+1 TSB leafs on my Tacoma, btw. While they hold a load decently, they ride really rough unless I've got something in the back.

 

I like that airbag, what brand/how much?

 

Well not identical, in the Q&A they said all the spring rates changed for the new model. So we know that is different. But of course it doesn't take much to change a spring rate and so as far as the rear leafs go they could be nearly the same design, with the same manufacturer and with the same crappy performance as the old ones even if they were slightly redesigned for a new spring rate.

 

They should have used full size truck spring lengths. How long have leaf springs been used and Toyota still can't get it right? Or followed suit with Ram and used coils....

 

Knowing toyota they could have been talkinv about the spring rate in the seats.......

I have the same easy to install.

had to do it to tow my atv trailer it was hitting the bump stops hard all the time and killing my back.
I guess the spring rate in the seats was harder than the leaf springs....
