    Hey everyone, just purchased my 1st Tacoma and love it so far. The OR suspension doesn’t seem to be bouncy or floaty like I’ve seen people talk about. It seems somewhat harsh over bumps/imperfections in the road. I’m running 30 psi cold in tires so don’t think it’s that. Does the suspension get softer the more you drive it?

    I think a lot of those complaints come from truck neophytes. Probably not your first rodeo.

    That, and every butt is different.


    I don't think the suspension is going to settle in more than wear over the thousands of miles and how hard it is used.

    Sorry! Thinking about it, you may want to check the U bolts at some point. They are probably not an issue, but mine were definitely loose after about 500mi.
