Now that the 4th Gen Tacoma is here, a lot of us are deciding between the i-FORCE turbo 4-cylinder and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid setup. Both use the same 2.4L engine, but the MAX adds an electric motor for a combined 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. If you’ve driven both, how do they compare in real-world driving? Is the hybrid worth the extra cost and weight? Any noticeable difference in throttle response, towing, or MPG? I’m leaning toward the i-FORCE MAX for the torque alone — that number beats most full-size trucks. But I also want to know how it feels off-road and if the added complexity is worth it for long-term reliability. The normal i-FORCE still packs a solid punch, but for me personally the hybrid is were it’s at! Let’s hear from those who’ve driven both, especially in TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims.

Hey guys,
I had a quick questions for some advice.
I current have the 2 gallon water and 3 gallon gas Rotopax on the truck, but I'm thinking about replacing the water and getting the 4 gallon gas rotopax. I am struggling finding a water source that is adequate for camping. I have seen the water source that mounts to the truck, but that leads to mud near where we are at majority of the time when camping. Does anyone have a recommendations of a good mobile water resource that is good for washing dishes/hands/rinsing etc.?
