2020 TRD Sport vs 2020 TRD Off Road

This also just says "sport tuned" while it says "Off Road Tuned with Bilstein Shocks".

 

Thanks. It's likely a typo for my region.

I imagine I will be underwhelmed by the stock ride on either truck.

My '14 has Total Chaos UCA's and Radflo coil-overs which ride extremely well on and off road. Although the brake dive can be intense under emergency braking at highway speeds. Was hoping for a cheaper option this time around and less maintenance so may go the Bilstein 6112 route.

 

Just spend the extra $ on the TRD pro for a bunch of suspension your going to rip of anyways. That's what I did. All the cool kids are doing it

 

That silly short bed is the “no sale” for me on the Pro. If it was a 6’ box I’d be in!

 

@98blowntaco for me its strictly for my dog and sales samples I dont like the look with the longer bed. Definitely more functional however it's all about what you need right

 

My dog is the queen of the back seat. We need as much room as possible in the bed for road trips.

A rack and a tonneau cover are on my short list for the ‘20.

 

Long beds used to be 8’, now they’re 6’ so a 5’ bed is a stubby.

 

I can confirm my 2020 Sport has blue Hitachi's.

 

As I continue my research trying to decide between the Sport & Off Road I come across lots of info about their MSRPs being the same.
I guess those days are past because the web site is showing almost $1,300 more for the OR now.

 

Do y’all up there not get DCLB TRD offroads? They sell them in the USA.

 

Well the OR seems a bit better equipped to me. I’m in Canada and they don’t offer the OR in long box. The big difference for me (other than the box length) is the locker. The camera has poor reviews and the suspension is meh anyway. To be swapped by most Taco-Philes if they want any performance out of the suspension as they are just too small shafted and will heat up if you pound them for more than a short period.

I just ordered these! Pretty stoked.

I also ordered a HD diamondback cover yesterday too in black. $$$$$

My Cali raised LED sliders are en route as well.

 

Nope. Sucks.

 

Have you driven both models yet? That quickly made the decision for me.

 

And what did you learn/decide?

 

They drive much different from one model to another. Even the feel of the pedals are different. You might like one vs the other based on your past experience or just looking for something different.

 

You have to compare the same style models for the price to match, example both DCSB 4x4 MT.

 

Ah yes! You are correct sir!

Thanks

 

had 2 off roads . and on my 2nd Pro... once you go Pro, other models are a NO...4 taco's in 17 yrs........... Pro........... 4 the win..........

never ending debate... funny..u r what u drive.. EOS

 

Has anyone ever wondered how the Sport & OR have the same gas mileage rating when the OR has larger more aggressive tires and no air damn???

 

I think the tires have the same outer diameter even though the sport has 17 inch wheels and the OR 16" so it really wouldn't matter.
