Very nice!!!
Kinda sad the “utility bar” is standard, but someone will prob buy it of Facebook lol

That Nitto Trail Grappler is a real joke though, 72 lbs in 35s. My Territory MTs which I love are 52 lbs in 35s. That's 100lbs less for 5 tires, much less unsprung weight and rotational weight. 72 lbs is non sense.

Best I can tell, all those Nitto 18" TGs are E-load range. For now it's an uncommon size for light trucks, but that'll change. I went through the same thing with 285/70R17s 6 or 7 years ago. I didn't want HD tires for my Jeep. Now there are lots of C load range tires in that size.

The underground colour tickles my fancy more than the crush blue

I can't tell does it have a little blue in the grey or is it just straight grey?

I believe it might have blue undertones in the colour code. Cause I do see it too, but also because it does not look super glossy, that might also be why. Light also plays a factor

Did you get a close up pic of the tire or do you remember the tire size spec?
Looks a little bigger than the false 33s from the reveal.

Same…I want to know the size. Maybe 305/65 R18? They don’t look that wide though.

I’m surprised with all the reviews people did of this truck online that no one mentions the tire size. I’d say it’s some variation that ends up being between 34 and 35 in tall and about 11.5 wide

I think they are 275/70/18. It's 33.6 and 11.1 wide.
Can’t be 305/65/18 based on tire and size spec available for that model of tire.

Ah, Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 275/70 R18. They look pretty good! I assume 33.6” will fit well then. I wonder how much wider and less offset one can do without going wild with chopping. I also wonder if a 17” rim will fit on the hybrid models. I’d much prefer 17s. I could be happy with 275/70 R18s, but I want a 9” wide wheel and a little offset, so that won’t work.

ARB Tacoma Trailhunter video walkaround:

35’s?! Hell yeah. I somehow missed that video originally in this thread. That’s a big question I know a lot of us were wondering about not just what size these were but if/how the new models would support. My guess is they wouldn’t show it with 35’s unless it were relatively easy to fit them on there. That is excellent news! Personally what I’m hoping is that the dealer will offer that as an option and I can pick my own tires and go 35’s when I leave the lot. No more body mount chops and suspension upgrades (to fit 33's) require to support hopefully as I’ve done with my 2nd gen.

Question on these build specs. It shows all the standard stuff that I've seen before on spec sheets with one exception. ARB Twin compressor and the air tank. Do you know if that is standard or just on this build? Toyota has not shown anything that I've seen discussing what type of compressor and any details about it other than showing it in the bed as included. It seems plausible that it would be ARB given their partnership, but that would be a nice addition since they are one of the gold standards.

Obviously none of this is 100% confirmed, but from videos I've watched with Sheldon Brown (2024 Tacoma lead engineer), I believe he said THs do not come with a sunroof, and do come with the snorkel standard. Other videos and images have alluded to the ARB rack being an option.

And I know folks aren't big on this option, but you could in theory find any other trim in the same color as your TH and swap out the snorkel and quarter panel.

Yeah everything I was seeing said ignore the moonroof/sunroof as it is preproduction and will not be on production THs.

35s on the Trailhunter?! That is very exciting!! I'm looking at a set of Baja Boss A/T, and 295/70r18 is about a 34.6" tire. I wonder if that will fit on the truck without doing anything fancy. Stock size is 265/70r18 so it's a full 2" up. At the least I'm planning on slapping the 275/70r18 on there but 295 would be reaaaally nice.
