That's a good question, and the answer is pretty straightforward - yes, the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) is going to give you a smoother, less bumpy ride than the Timbrens for your 2019 Toyota Tacoma. Like you mentioned, the Timbrens do their job well due to the stiffness of their rubber springs, but that stiffness can also cause the ride to be uncomfortable or even jarring as there isn't much give to them. The RAS will absolutely remedy that while providing the same - or better - enhancement... view full answer...
You are correct that cams are not generally made for off-road-use chains as the rough terrain increases the likelihood that they can come undone.
When comparing the two Titan chains for your 265/75R16 tires, part # TC2828 and part # TC2828CAM, they are both great chains that have almost all of the same qualities (save for the cams).
If you plan on travelling off-road, then go with the # TC2828. If you don't, then go with the # TC2828CAM since the cams make it much easier to get a tight... view full answer...
The main difference between the Curt # C13264 and the etrailer # e98905 hitch receivers lies in the superior matte black powder coat finish of the etrailer hitch versus the traditional glossy finish of the Curt hitch. I recommend # e98905 because the matte finish will hide dirt, scuffs and dings better, and many people just like the more rugged look of the matte black finish.
As you mentioned, they are both proudly made in the USA, they share the same towing capacities and can be used... view full answer...
Both of the Pop and Lock Tailgate locks you mentioned part # PAL8540 and # PAL8550 are a fit for your 2007 Toyota Tacoma and both come with the ability to manually lock and power lock the handle.
The difference is that the part # PAL8540 comes with a lock cylinder that can be programmed to your truck key so you would only need one key to operate the setup. The part # PAL8550 comes with a separate key. view full answer...
I like the compatibility of the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler item # AR44FR over the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528. The Ark is compatible with any vehicle utilizing a standard 2" ball. The maximum capacity of the Ark 5,000 lbs is lower than the Lock N Roll 6,000 lbs but it still meets your weight capacity needs. Both require modification of your trailer for use. You will need the Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube item # 337RT25806B to mount... view full answer...
The differences between the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR are very few.
The Liberty is designed to work on trailers with up to 2 braking axles and will only work on 12 volt braking applications. I recommend using the Tow-Pro Liberty on your 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD.
The Elite will work on trailers with up to 3 braking axles and can work on 12 volt or 24 volt vehicle applications.
Beyond those differences... view full answer...
The correct Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2019 Toyota Tacoma is part # TTORTUN4L if you have three leaves in the rear leaf spring pack or part # TTORTUN4 if you have four leaves in the rear leaf spring pack. Therefore, the main difference is in regards to fit. The Timbrens are going to do an excellent job of helping to reduce rear end sag/squat while loaded or towing. They also won't affect the unloaded ride quality and they are easy to install which makes them the perfect... view full answer...
Since you will be towing a travel trailer, which is a static load that does not change weights all of the time, I recommend going with leaf springs, see link. If you have a 2 wheel drive model that is not a Pre-Runner, go with # SSA1 for 2,000 pound capacity or # SSA7 for 3,000 pound capacity.
For a 2 wheel drive Pre-Runner OR a 4 wheel drive model that is not a Pre-Runner, go with # SSA19.
Air springs are great if you will be carrying varying load sizes and types so that you can level... view full answer...
The only significant difference between the two is the rated maximum current output on each of the circuits. Tow Ready 118496 can provide up to 2.1-amps for each of the stop/turn circuits and 7.5-amps for the running light circuit. The Curt C55513 offers a 3-amp capacity for the stop/turn circuits and 5-amps for the running lights.
The Tow Ready 4-Pole T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118496 and the similar Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55513 are both confirmed fits for your... view full answer...
Jounce springs will sit on the frame and come into contact with the axle as the suspension compresses. Typically the vehicle manufacturer will place a rubber-type material here to prevent the harsh bump between these two components when heavily loaded or hitting rough terrain. These manufacturer jounce bumpers are usually pretty small and only get used when the vehicle is loaded down so upgrading to larger ones like SumoSprings will have them activate sooner and provide you with more load... view full answer...
There are six different Timbren kits for suspension enhancement that all fit your 2018 Toyota Tacoma. Four are for the rear and two are for the front. Of the front two, part # TTOFTUN4 is designed for adding support when you put a snow plow on the truck and # TABSTOF is an active bump stop that cushions the shock when off-roading.
A couple of the rear kits are designed to support the rear of the truck when either towing a trailer or adding weight in the bed. Use part # TTORTUN4 if your... view full answer...
Yes, they sure are; with the exception that one comes with four total hooks (two long and two short) and one comes with two hooks (one long and one short) the Swagman replacement hooks are indeed the same:

- 2 Hooks: Replacement Locking Long and Short Hooks # SP428 view full answer...
The main difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13264 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98905 is the matte black powder coat finish of the etrailer hitch versus the traditional glossy finish of the Curt hitch. Other than that these hitches are identical. Both are custom fit and bolt directly to your 2022 Toyota Tacoma's frame with included hardware. I recommend the etrailer # e98905 hitch because the matte finish will hide dirt and paint chips better. I... view full answer...
Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3S331 is a bias ply construction whereas the 185/80R13 you have is a radial tire construction. The difference is how the plies run inside the tire. You would want to keep the construction type the same on the trailer for best performance and even tire wear.
In size 185/80-13 we only have bias ply tires. This type is better for rough rounds or gravel but do fine on pavement. Radial tires are best on pavement but will work fine on rough roads or... view full answer...
The springs in both Timbren kits for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, # TABSOSR, and # TTORTUN4L, are both 3-3/4 inches tall. The difference is that kit # TABSOSR is intended for vehicles without a U-Bolt Flip Kit. And # TTORTUN4L is designed for vehicles with 3 Leaf Springs in the rear suspension.
To avoid a stiff ride a better option would be air bags, # F2407. They will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the bags for the best ride quality. I have linked a video review of the Firestone... view full answer...
The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64670 will be a better option for your mountain bike. This rack allows for the longer frame and has more sturdy wheel holders than the XC # S64650.
I also recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031 to secure your rack and your bikes. view full answer...
The difference is the cab length Toyota Tacoma they fit. For your 2017 Toyota Tacoma you would want the part # 27-0010-1615 for if you have a double cab or part # 27-0000-1615 if you have an access cab.
The double cab will have 4 large sized doors on the cab whereas the access cab is more like what people refer to as extended cab and does not have a second set of full doors. view full answer...
The Curt # 13323 and the Draw-Tite # 75236 Class III hitches share the same weight capacity and installation procedure. The appearance and design of the two hitches are pretty similar. As far as quality goes, both brands are about equal. Given this, there's no reason why you couldn't go with the less expensive Curt model.
If you were planning on towing with your Tacoma, you might also need the following:
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118496
Ball mount, part # D-4

The Buyers Products Adjustable Tri-Ball Hitch part # 3371802225 and the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount part # D900 are both very similar. The main difference as you mentioned is that the Buyers Products Ball Mount has a longer shank which then allows for more rise/drop adjustments. The more rise/drop adjustments you have, the greater number of trailers you can tow level. In regards to the manufacturer, both Curt and Buyers Products are reputable brands so I would not let this alone... view full answer...
With the tongue weight of the trailer and the weight of the topper, the Sumo Springs # SSR-612-47 with a 1000-lbs capacity are the right choice since Sumo Springs are progressively load bearing; this means that they get stiffer as more weight is applied and really do a great job of not affecting the unloaded ride quality. The Sumo Springs are a great solution that install without any drilling required, and they'll replace your factory bumpstops, so now when you bottom out you're going to... view full answer...
