    Not a difficult mod but one that makes life a little easier. In the center console tray, I drilled a hole in the center and put a Paracord pull to make it easier to get it in or out. I struggle to get it out without spilling the contents all over the truck. (I know, that’s what she said)

    The Toyos were loud from the start. I’ve had 3 sets of BFG’s in the past that were much quieter from the start. I wanted BFG’s on my last set but couldn’t get them & wound up getting the Toyo’s, which weren’t bad tires, but were defiantly louder than the BFG’s. I put over 45,000 miles on them & they still had some tread left. I’m so happy to have the BFG K0’s now. :thumbsup:

    Thanks! Yes stock size. I had Open Country 3’s 265 70 16 but I think this truck came with 245 75 16’s original size though (SR). That’s what the tag says on the door pillar. I like having the wider tires.

    I installed a set of Toyo AT3s back in June on my truck. After all the positive reviews I was surprised by the drone and how loud they were. I used Discount Tire's great return policy and switched them out for a set of KO2s. I was surprised how much more quiet they were as well.

    Correct.. from what I saw the leaf springs on every 4x4 Tacoma I have owned gen1(x3) gen3 have the leaf packs bolted up over the rear axle.

    The gen 4 Tacoma SR has the sam
    I believe (from what I saw on the lot) that the SR/SR5 have leaf packs that bolt up UNDER the rear axle. Not like a traditional Tacoma where the leaf packs sit up above the rear axle and out of the way ...

    $36k for a bare bones SR 4x4... No thanks...

    Pretty sure the Gen 4 Tacoma’s have coil sprung rear suspension. Maybe just some of them?

    I like the 4 wheel disc, and the turbo. Wish I had both. Not real crazy about the new body lines though. Like the look of the 3rd gen.

    Most do, the SR and SR 5 still have leaf packs in the rear.

    Guess they are the only remaining utilitarian fleet type trucks left in the Toyota lineup. The Tacoma has become a completely different animal
