    Default Best ride 4x4 & 4x2?

    I'll be buying a taco [06+ DC 4x2(possibly 4x4) SR5] in October/November.

    This may sound lame for the hardcore guys, but which double cab(4x2) provides the most plush/car-like ride?

    Which 4x4 DC provides the best ride?

    I have searched these questions w/ no luck.

    Thank you.
    Jeff

    Which DC? What do you mean? Are you asking if the TRD Off-Road or Sport gives the best ride? The non-TRD will give you the most plush ride. Then the OR, then Sport (IMO).

    Yup, and to clarify, the non-TRD is the SR-5, which is the base model.

    There are differences in equipment between the three, so be sure to get the one that best suits your needs/wants. Also, the two TRD models have different seats than the SR-5...

    Thanks for the insight 81.

    I've been in the military for 2o years, 2 back surgeries, 3rd right around the corner -so the smoothest ride is what I'm looking for. 4x4 is always a plus, but not a necessity.

    So the best ride in 4x4 or 4x2 double cab would be the base model SR5, which is a non-TRD.
    Thank you for the information, I'll keep reading to bring myself up to speed.

    Dunno how bad your back is, but in reality you *may* want to consider other possibilities. We've had our doublecab 4x4 OffRoad for three years, and the ride is somewhat firm, but not harsh... still, it is a long way from plush. SR-5 will be a bit softer but not by much. Take the longest test drives you can, over less than perfect roads and see what you think. I know a Silverado has a much softer ride...

    Let us know what you finally decide on.

    I'll definitely take your advice and take a nice long test drive in a couple different configurations.

    As for the Tacoma, it fits me perfect, right bed height, seat height, and its a Toyota. Visually the Tacomas are kick-azz.

    Thanks for the insight.
