I'm a buyer/I've bought

Might have found a candidate:

Used 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road for sale in Burlington, NC 27215: Truck Details - 711209899 - Autotrader

Snapped a couple of pics after the test drive. Is this a stock suspension?

 

That is all stock

 

Looks stock. I haul dirt bikes in the back of mine, and even a four wheeler on occasion. See my avatar. I would not put a big bike like a Harley in the bed. Lover the DCLB, and the extra foot does help when hauling anything.

 

Interesting - the first item the list in the features is a 3.91 axle ratio. Thats stock too, right?

 

It's a done deal. And the bike fits... kinda.

 

Nice!
If you have a bunch of rear tire bouncing on the tailgate, put a thick board or something down to transfer the weight to back to the bed. I wouldn't want to buckle the tailgate.
Better yet, get a trailer

 

I made the sale conditional based on whether they could get the bike into the bed. We put it on the lift in the service department, backed the truck underneath it and rolled it in. Kinda sketchy, but go it done. At home, I have 30" wide, 7' long black widow ramps so it was easy to unload. The only issue was that I didn't have a wheel chock to keep it straight during the ride home. So I had to get out once to straighten it out. I'll need to sort that out.

I think the truck will have to go back to the dealer today. The steering wheel isn't lined up quite right. It tracks just fine, but the wheel is just a bit off center, which is going to drive me crazy until it gets fixed. But overall, really, really happy with it.

 

I've had it for about 10 days now and thought that it sagged in the rear. Then someone else commented on it.



I had the GS in the back, which is about 550 lbs. But the bed is empty in the pic above. Is this normal?

 

It looks like the front was lifted to "level" the truck and Yes, it does look kind of squatty.
Look at the front coils for a spacer, bet that's it. IF it is a front spacer lift, it is relatively easy to remove.

 

Pics of the suspension are at the top of this page. If there is a spacer in there, I suppose it's just out of frame in the upper pic?

 

Correct, it would be above where you took the first pic.,,, at the top of the spring.

 

I added these to my truck.

 

I was curious about these be interesting to hear your thoughts and experience on them.

 

Had them on my truck for several years. I’ve hauled rock and my RTT and these really do work.

 

And they'll bring the rear up to level?

 

Yup, the are adjustable. I set mine up upon install and haven’t changed the settings since.

 

I love my 1200 GS but it is a tank!

Nice setup by the way

 

How do you think they would preform with a camper shell on ? I run a camper shell and don’t ever take it off. Also what about off-roading?

 

My RTT weighs about 125 lbs and with all my camping gear in the bed she still sits level. Seems to work fine off road as well.
