lowered tacoma

Happy Holidays,

I have a question, which trim has the lowest ground clearance? I'd like my mother to be able to drive the tacoma and shes kind of short. Also , how secure is the factory tonneau cover?

 

Base 4x2 or X-Runner

 

I frequently drive my grandmother, just get good step bars. Mine grabs the ohh shit handle and step bars to get in.

 

thanks

what kind of step bar?

 

Anyone of them she could step on easy... U know her better than me. Look at all types, the have flat ones and tube ones... I have tube style, but flat may be better

 

All 3rd gens have the same ground clearance, whether 4x4 or 4X2

There is no X-runner on 3rd gen.

 

If I go for the SR with 4X4 how much higher is it compared to 4X2?

 

so its the same ground clearance throughout the whole trim? is there an option to lower the height to pre 3rd gen 4X2?

 

for a 2016 tacoma (this is the 3rd gen forum), yes.

for prior years, there are differences and vanilla thunder is correct as to the models.

 

yep, my bad, didn't see the 3rd gen part.

 

The actual seat height or floor height is not the same. OR is higher. Just my impression after driving a loaner SR5.

 

You'll have to get a 2015 4x2 for a low rider.

 

OP buy a lowering kit and be the first lowered 16!

 

anyone have a pictured of their lowered tacoma? I know someone out there has one.

 

hmmmmmmnnnn

 

How does having the same lug nut pattern relate to ride height?

 

Thanks for the explanation, I have never heard of that (this is my first Tacoma coming from 4x WRXs). Although, isn't that generalizing it a bit? For example, the OR vs. Sport models do not share the same spring & shock setup. Wouldn't that also be a factor in the ride height? Also, my Sport definitely sits lower in the front.
