2017 Tacoma TRD Pro Thread

Any changes in how it drives? Notice any more mpg? Any sounds? Lol

 

this is my 1st Tacoma I own. I'm not looking for saving gas or power. Its what u want to do with this truck and your limitations. Rides smooth coz of the fox and the sound is irrelevant to me.

 

Like many others in this thread, I would like to get a couple more inches of lift on my Pro. I currently have Toyo M/T 265/75/16's, but that's the only thing I've done so far.

Bray1197, you note a custom pack from Deaver. How would that compare to the Deaver U402 pack, and could I put a Deaver U402 pack on my Pro with the stock Fox suspension? It seems like I read somewhere on here that you got about 1.75" of more lift with the tires and Deavers?

Also, with the rear bumper mod you did, I assume that blocked out your camera?

Thx.

 

The Deaver pack I ordered they designed to perform the way the Pro suspension is designed with a 1.75" lift or close to it. It doesn't lift it as much as the other Deaver packs do. Plus mines designed for all the extra weight I carry! Can't compare bc I have no idea.....

For own the camera is blocked and the bsm/back up censors don't work, but that's what the bumpers for right lol

Plus bigger tires give a small amount of lift as well

 

Are you running 285/70/17?

 

Anyone have a preference on the intake for the TRD? K&N drop in over the AFE or TRD intakes?

 

I'm a stickler when it comes to consistency. I'd go w/ TRD

 

I figured as much being as Toyota would know how to best get their vehicles performing better. On the same token, I wonder how much power Toyota has hidden from us already in the light of the EPA and good MPG's

 

@biker921 oh and you get a warranty buying toyota parts

 

THAT is true! But you pay for that warranty in the part. Lol

 

this is true, there's some decent discounts if you shop around online

 

If Toyota cared about making the Tacoma perform, they would have done it instead of tuning it like a turd for grannies to drive. Orange Virus Tuning is making great progress with these Tacomas.

I can't remember where, but I read in another thread that the K&N intake was much louder than the TRD? Or maybe it was the other way around.

 

Here’s mine...

 

I have Nitto's 285/70/17's on my truck. Currently looking to replace the tires. The 285's are to much tire for me(and this truck); it doesn't track well, to heavy, and rubs.....but looks awesome
Suspension mod is OME BP51,SPC UCA's. The coilovers are set to 10mm which gives the truck a slight downward rake. I could bump the lift up on the front to stop the rubbing if that was the only issue.
Some options Ive looked at are 265/70/17, 255/75/17 and briefly 275/70/17 in an a/t tire. Not looking for a mud tire, for me in the pacific nw its logging roads, blast rock, and snow in the mountains. Looking for some suggestions?

 

I'm in the Puyallup area and I hear what you are saying about your needs for a tire. Currently I have the Cooper ST Maxx and really like them. Running 265/70 17. They are E rated and weigh in at 55lbs a piece but I do really like how they handle. If you needed something just a little bigger, they also make a 275/70 17 that is a good tire.

At some point I am going to move to the Falken Wildpeak tire as I feel for the daily driver the E rated tires are over kill. Look great, but over kill.

 

if you think your 265/70-17 ST Maxx's are overkill in E, then you should try them in 265/65-17. talk about tough little rocks. less sidewall than the 70 aspects, and a lot firmer.

i love them.

 

They aren't over kill but probably not necessary.

 

that's a beauty. and that shot almost makes me miss the PNW... almost (not a fan of the weather although I've lived there a few years)

 

Lots of rain. Rains too much. Summers have been off the charts amazing the last six years though.
