Solar Octane Discontinued For 2025 Tacoma?

TheChadster · 2025-01-16T14:54:30+00:00

Hey gang!! New to this forum and really excited about my 2025 taco coming in a couple months as a factory order. I have (as most of us have) seen the thread about the aluminum top plate located in the front shocks breaking when off-roading, possibly due to a new design that eliminated the external bump stops on the 24’+ Tacos. Now I do believe Bilstein addressed the issue, stating that their bump stops are now built-in the actual shocks. My question is, if I decide to add the aftermarket Icon top plate, in the event of bottoming out and cracking the aluminum part by Toyota, would Icon reinforcement plate “transfer” the load to a more important part like a control arm, thus potentially causing more expensive damage? Or is the Icon plate a cheap and effective preventative measure, “solving” the potential issue? Any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated!!

So the 2025 Tundra and Sequoia configurators are both live on Toyotas website currently and I noticed something that most likely will be same for Tacoma.

Solar Octane is no longer a color option for those two vehicles. It has been replaced by Terra which was on the TRD Pro model for 2024. Terra will be available on TRD OR models it seems for these vehicles and I assume the Tacoma will follow suit.

I’ll update when I have more info, but if you are looking for a Solar Octane, I’d suggest getting it in 2024.
