Hey everyone! I went down to Arkansas to tour the Backwoods Adventure Mods manufacturing facility and new warehouse. If you haven't heard of them before, Backwoods makes all sorts of off-road accessories for Toyotas, including the new 4th Gen. I went down there to install their (launching soon) rear bumper and to meet with the team to get a closer look at how they operate and build everything. U.S. manufacturing might be down in some areas, but these guys clearly show it's ramping up in others. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://backwoodsadventuremods.com/collections/toyota-tacoma See their Tacoma page above... A quick shot of the new rear bumper! There's an optional frame cut, which you can see with the missing hitch on my truck on the right. https://backwoodsadventuremods.com/collections/toyota-tacoma/products/toyota-tacoma-4th-gen-2024-rear-bumper

Oh boy... one of my favorite 4G features is no more leaf springs (YESSSSS). 4G running rear coil springs are awesome (at least I think so), and just like all previous Tacoma models, upgrading your rear spring setup is a must. I went the longest while on my last truck without upgrading and noticed a massive change in comfort and longevity… so don’t be like me and upgrade your springs.

ARB offers a standard and medium-rated coil spring.

- Standard 0 - 400lbs

- Medium 400 - 800lbs

For you folks who have light accessories/bumpers, no camper shell or topper, and engage in minimal or no towing, then the standard rate spring is the way to go.

Any sort of topper, loaded bed rack or consistent towing then the medium rate is likely most ideal for you. I went with standard and have no complaints, however, I’ve got absolutely zero, zip, nada weight in my bed, so I notice it’s stiffer when hitting bumps at high speeds. I’ve towed with the standard-rate springs and had no issues - the truck felt great! Do note that they will settle in after a few hundred miles of weight in the bed.
