Actually he speculates that it may well handle the 35's in the stock configuration now, and they do offer a trim with stock 35's, not tested here.

One is at a 15% under MSRP, the other at 50% over. The choice is yours.

Yeah, my '21 value is like it got pushed off a cliff.

I think I’m still above water if I trade in today… but like by 50 cents.

As someone that spent 28 years in 3 different Toyota trucks, 93 extra cab 4x4, with manual hubs, a 03 extra cab 4x4 Tacoma and a 2012 4x4 double cab Tacoma I feel that Toyota was going the wrong way with the Taco, the guy that sold me the last 2 said that the newer ones had way more issues that the older. With his info and my opinion, I ordered my 21 Mojave and sold my 2012 Taco and could be happier. Lol

Pointless. If flex is that important the owner is not running OE suspension anyway .

Why the click bait, cut to the chase. With the sway bar disconnected the Toyota basically tied the gladiator with the sway bar connected. It got destroyed by the rubicon when disconnected. The 600+ to 489 is massive. Any quality lift adds travel to the gladiator as the shocks are the limiting factor. Short of expensive long travel lifts, most ifs lifts will sacrifice travel as the short swing arms just can't do any more. Adding enough bump stop to keep 35s out of the fenders on the Toyota will lower its score further as it gains no downtravel and loses up travel. It's easy to push the gladiator over 700 with just longer shocks. It's not even as close as the stock numbers look in the real world where we modify and use these trucks.

You can twist it like a pretzel, and I still would not want a Tacoma....

The new Tacoma should fit 35's. They put a lot of provisions in there to make clearance in the wheel wells and the Body mounts are no longer in the way like they historically were.

fine easiest to fit 39s. not that any overlander needs any bigger than 35s
