All Terrain (AT) Vs. Rugged Terrain (RT) - What Tires Work Best For You

When I was building my Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 2025, one of the things I kept going back and forth on was tire choice. There are a lot of great options out there, but the big question always seems to be All Terrain vs Rugged Terrain vs Mud Terrain. I ended up going with 35” Kenda Klever R/T tires and honestly I’ve been really happy with them so far. What surprised me the most is how quiet they are on the road. For a tire that looks this aggressive I expected a lot more noise, but they’re actually pretty tame for daily driving. Off-road they’ve been great too, plenty of grip and the sidewalls feel a lot more confidence inspiring than the all terrains I ran before. Coming from all terrains, I think rough terrains are worth it if you off-road a lot. If you’re only hitting trails once or twice a month, a good all terrain tire will honestly do just fine. Mud terrains look awesome, but for a daily driven Tacoma I personally think they’re overkill. They’re louder, heavier, and most people don’t really need that level of traction unless they’re constantly in deep mud. For my setup, the 35” Klever RTs have been a really good middle ground between daily comfort and off-road performance.

Hey Toyota Fam,
I wanted to see everyone's set up that has the 5' bed on the 24 Tacomas. I have been looking for a new one that does not open up on the side - but they all seem to be too long for the 5' bed so it would hang off a bit. I'm not sure how I feel about the look of it so would appreciate of you can post photos of your tent if it hangs off the bed of your Taco! All my fellow campers - let's see your set up below!
