Capability of stock Tacoma?

Anyone have a stock Tacoma and find it to do everything off-road you need? I see alot of lifted ones cruising around but is the stock all around good enough? How many just like stock?

 

Mine does all that I ask it. Now I don't rock crawl or do any serious off-roading. I use mine for hunting & fishing in remote areas. I spend lot of time up in northern Maine on forest/logging roads and old grown in and washed out roads. I've been through some pretty deep mud, safely traveled roads that resemble river beds (no big boulders) and have crossed numerous areas where bridges have washed out across streams. I often find myself on roads that somehow turn into an ATV trail too. These trucks are quite capable stock (with decent tires of course).

 

Suspension is stock for me and it's just fine. The bumper on the other hand was changed out. Too many deer around here. Needed something that would increase my odds of getting home after a dear strike.

 

Why is this posted in the 3rd gen section?

 

A stock tacoma can do a ton! I have a base package 4x4 not even a trd model and I was very suprised at its capabilities. Just dont smash shit as hard as the lifted guys. Take your time and you will be surprised by how well it does. Tires make a large difference ,but so far my dunflops have made it. I am changing them soon though.

 

Edit: yes it does plenty for me but I want moar lol

My stock TRD off road is great! I still plan on upgrading the suspension but only to increase ride height. Check out my build thread for some pictures, it does great even at faster off road speeds

 

im always amazed how well our trucks do stock

 

Go do something.

 

Preferably.

 

I just did a 2nd gen something where only a 1st gen something should be done.

 

Well that's something.

 

I will do a 1st gen something outside and only do a 2nd gen something inside, I don't even know what a 3rd gen something is?

 

You're doing it now.

 

I'm gonna wash my hands

 

Way less than a Raptor and we've all seen those fail videos.. dont be dumb and you'll be fine.

 

if you do a 1st gen and a 2nd gen thing at the same time does that equal a 3rd gen something?

 

It just makes a mess and no, the mods won't clean it up.

 

I have never had any problems wheeling mine just hate the stock tires but overall never let me down
