No real skid plates either..How can the “off road” package not have a real spare tire? That’s disappointing. Thanks for the info!
Not many I bet. I just figured for the cost of them and my basic 2004 Trd OR has some stock.In all honesty, how many people take these trucks off road? At least there’s real aftermarket skit plates for them.
Without a full size spare, I can't get an off-road beach sticker...In all honesty, how many people take these trucks off road? At least there’s real aftermarket skit plates for them.
Someone had asked if a larger spare tire would fit under the truck and it appears as if the answer will be no after I looked under the truck today. The rear hitch bar only allows room for a slightly larger tire than the smaller spare.How can the “off road” package not have a real spare tire? That’s disappointing. Thanks for the info!
Thing is, unless I totally don't understand tire measurements, the spare is basically full size. A 265/70R17 is 31.6" in diameter while a 245/75R17 is 31.46" in diameter. That's a difference of 0.14". The bigger difference is in the tire width. The 265 is 10.4" wide while the 245 is 9.64" wide... nearly an inch in width lost.Without a full size spare, I can't get an off-road beach sticker...
I agree, it’s sort of misleading to call it a full size spare when it’s clearly marked temporary. I think most will assume it’s the same exact size and that you can drive with it as usual which is not true.Thing is, unless I totally don't understand tire measurements, the spare is basically full size.

Based on Catoy's photos, I don't see any reason one couldn't put a legit fifth all-terrain under there if one needed/wanted to.
Or I don't understand tires like I think I do, in which case let the laughter ensue.
What you read online probably refers to the hybrid models which have a higher payload #Thank you. Well that ruined my plans to add a lightweight camper:( I guess I’ll never believe what I read online again.
Yes, I’m ordering the TRD Off Road hybrid.What you read online probably refers to the hybrid models which have a higher payload #
I looked at the bag the other day, still haven’t opened it. I’m guessing that all that info is in the manual I have yet to start reading. I still need to open the bag to see if I received two or three. The look different when looking at them through the bag. I think I remember someone saying there was one connector somewhere in the cab and others somewhere else. I will open the bag and get some pictures and that will probably give us more info.@CATOY
Since your reply’s are so detailed, any chance you looked into the prewired aux switches and how accessories hook up to them?
