This is the first Tacoma to come with coil spring rear suspension on higher trims like TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Limited — and the difference is noticeable.

On pavement, the ride is smoother and less bouncy compared to older leaf spring setups. It soaks up bumps better and feels more controlled when cornering. Off-road, articulation seems better, especially on uneven surfaces.

That said, if you’re loading it up or towing, how’s it holding up? Anyone notice sag with gear or trailers? Thinking about airbags or helper springs down the road?

Let’s compare notes: coil vs. leaf, comfort vs. capability, and any early upgrades you’ve done.
