Tacoma's Payload Prowess: Pushing Limits

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

Yesterday, I loaded up some pickets, about 900-1000 pounds worth. Before that, I tossed some cement bags in the bed too (around 1500 pounds).

My truck got bogged down though (blaming those stock tires, personally). Tried out 93 octane fuel for a test, and it really boosted the truck’s performance.

My truck handled everything great, except for the stuck part, where I needed the neighbor’s Ford to yank me out.

Overall, it was a good performance just as always and I was super impressed with it's performance.
