Re: How Good are Tundras Off-Road - Really???
I have owned 3 tacomas and 2 tundras of the following types. (all 4x4) tacos..95.5 reg cab 4cyl 97 reg cab v6 98 ext cab v6 TRD tundras 2000 Access cab non-trd V8 2001 Access cab TRD V8 I can say that from just the offraoding stand point that the tacoma is much better. The tacoma has a stick trans and has the biggest advantage of a locking rear end that you can't get on the tundra. The front end is much stiffer on the tacoma and it did a much better job in high speed bumps. As far as hill climbing go the tundra is better if you have enough room and don't get to the point of needing the locking rear end. It sucks big time that they did not put the rear end locker in the tundra TRD. As far as every other aspect the tundra is better, ride, room, power, more doors etc. the king of them all would of been that 97 taco reg cab v6 if you could get the locker back then.
