TRD Off Road and TRD Prerunner Side-by-Side Look

[TacoFreak]

Yes, the PreRunner is nice. I’m sure enjoying mine!

Yes - a great truck.

It reminds me so much of my silver 2005 access cab Tacoma Sport, and that is still the configuration I like the best.

I've been very happy w/ mine as well----great fit for my purposes. OP, how does your friend like the KO3s?

@nurp42 happy holidays! He's really liking them. I actually had mine installed last week and I've put a couple hundred miles on them so far. I can tell that they're heavier, and my mpg has taken a hit. That's for sure! They feel nice on the truck though, and they look great too. I haven't had a chance to do any real mudding or off-roading yet, but as far as how they feel on the road... so far I've been happy with how they feel both in dry and wet conditions. There were no issues getting them balanced with either of our sets. They're extremely quiet for how aggressive they look, and they really make the truck feel planted on the road. They're a bit heavier with the E load rating, and if you drive a manual like I do, you can definitely feel that extra weight, but the truck still feels plenty strong, and it'll still get up and go when I put my foot down. They are also a little bit more expensive than a lot of the other options out there, but they're made in the USA, and Goodrich almost always puts out a top notch product that will last a long time. Can't wait to get 'em in the mud!

Here's one on my truck 275/70R18:

I am very happy with my PreRunner as well. Held off until the color choice I wanted came around to my area as well. Put on a full size matching BFG Trail Terrain Tire for a spare. Next will be ordering the 5" ovel tube steps. The Sonic Red is an awesome color too. Now the Sonic Red an Solar Octane are gone for the PreRunner replaced by Terra :(

Thanks very much for the excellent write-up. Your truck looks great---- I'm a big fan of the white letters out too.

I think you'll really like the steps---- they've been an excellent add-on for me.

@RokeHi Love that Solar Octane color! That's gonna be a very rare truck you have there I'd bet. Trying to convince my friend to get some side steps too. He's already got a big 'ol rock chip on his rear fender. I know my rock sliders have helped keep paint chips to a minimum too, but without a good set of mudflaps, if you don't have something to help deflect the rocks, paint damage to the rear fenders is almost a prerequisite for owning these new trucks it seems.

I had a '22 OR in Lunar Rock, and I liked that color too, but I think so many manufacturers are doing these Earth-tone colors that it's starting to get a little stale/over-played. The Terra color is pretty unique though. I really like it on the Pros from this years models, but the new Mud Bath color... meh, it's kind of boring (this coming from a guy with a white truck ).

@nurp42 thank you! I meant to have the white letters out, and when I was waiting to have them mounted, I realized I forgot to specify that to the installer. By the time I went over to let someone know, they'd already put them on my truck exactly like I wanted them. I think they know better lol.
