Intro to Tacoma Trailhunter

Mine is a '17 but made in Texas. I was lucky enough to have this truck..

 

Probably!

 

Yes you win the internet today

 

I’m not a fan of the bar but otherwise the Truck looks great. Like the wheels! Enjoy.

 

Congrats on the truck! I really want to see the TH and PRO in person. I love the wheels on the TH. I’m waffling on the larger flares after seeing more pics of both.

 

The wheels kinda look like eggo waffles.

 

I hadn't seen one in person when I bought this one! First look st the dealer when I picked it up told me I'd made the right decision.

 

Congrats! And nice rig! Trail Hunter is pretty bad ass. Ill be honest, those wheels and tires dont really do it for me.

 

Nice truck!

Toyota is savage for putting chrome on the lower half of the front bumper. I expected to see a black plastic one like the TRD Off-road

 

He’s just trolling us. Just took that pic at the dealership for likes. Would’ve posted at least another photo by now. What a jerk

 

Very nice Taco Grande! Looking forward to any feedback you may share.

 

I think the composite beds on the 4th gens are thinner.

 

Jeez, rough crowd. Need a PHD to learn everything on the truck. Quick reference guide is 94 pages. Owners manual is 672 pages and the multimedia manual another 228 pages! I came from basic 30 year old Landcruiser tech! Need time to figure even the basics out.

 

Meh, you think those numbers are gonna fool me!?

 

They are big enough... lol, just not aggressive enough (at least the sidewalls aren't) to match the rest of the truck.

I go back and forth on getting my F-150 bed sprayed along with a mat. I want the liner between the bed and the mat for abrassion and moisture. I like the look of the spray in liner, my only concern is when the liner starts to fail.

The composite bed kind of eliminates the need for the line imo, I still think it looks better sprayed.

When I watched those preproduction clips, the engineers seemed to want to make sure people knew the bed wasn't the production version.

 

Yeah. My specific beef with the spray for the 4G is that it interferes with the Toyota specific molle panels per Toyota. That is a really, really idiosyncratic problem that probably I alone have.

I would think if you used it as a dump truck, you'd rather have a slicker bed to scrap material off. And if you used it to dance around in as a moving van, you would want something stickier. A bed mat you can switch between the two options. Once you spray it is hard to unring that bell.

 

Congrats! That is a beauty, I love the white with bronze wheels.

 

The spray liner interfering with any bed system or feature isn't good.

I was driving a truck that had an enclosed dump body, and the floor had a spray liner. There wasn't much of it left you are right a smooth surface is preferred there. The liner made it difficult to slide heavy items across the floor, and the remaining liner was pealing and when dumping solid items like furniture would catch on the liner and get stuck.
