2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Suspension Overview and Flex Test

Years ago, Car and Driver Technical Editor Dan Edmunds helped design the original TRD Off-Road package for the Tacoma. Now entering its fourth generation, the Tacoma TRD Off-Road has many of the features Dan wished he could've offered back then.

In this video, Dan explains all the details of the Tacoma's new suspension, including the larger diameter shocks, disconnecting front anti-roll bar, and its coil-spring rear suspension. He then shows how much it can flex in an RTI test with the anti-roll bar connected and disconnected.
