For any vehicle it’s going to put more strain on the truck, but you can get wheels and tires that are lighter than most. Might be 10 pounds more then stock but at least they’re not 20 pounds heavier.
I’d be interested what the fuel mileage was before and after installing those 35’s. My gen 3 Taco went to sh**t after installing oversized 10 ply KO2’s. But, who cares it’s a truck.

This truck was supposed to cost 49-51k like the ZR2, and instead they’re going to charge 65k and probably the most predatory dealer in the country(Toyota) is going to slap a 10k markup on top of that. Congrats you’ve now spent 75k, 20k+ more than all the competitors, for a 4 cylinder hybrid turbo monstrosity, that was built in Mexico. How do you move production to Mexico and justify an obligatory 40% price bump? Insanity. Looks cool but fuck no at 70k. I’d buy a ZR2, for like 40k and call it a day.

Even if you get a 35x12.50 only two select manufacturers tires measure to a true 35” but yes that is still a 35. I hate this discussion. A 315/70/17 is also equivalent.
That truck Tacoma looks nice with the 35s on it. One thing I realize that I see people putting bigger tires on vehicles is the gear ratio it’s gonna be off. It’s a little bit bigger so for people saying that four-cylinder can’t handle them big tires or the transmission kind of messes up because of the big tires well that is sometimes the case, but if you put a gear ratio in that front reartire what nice video keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see you next one. Thank you God bless.
@quasar3210 dude I live in a nice ass area. Everybody I talk to that make over 250k a year are saying fuck that I'm not paying 70k for a tacoma. Are you smoking crack?
Mike, I will point out that even some tires that state 35" x 12.5" are smaller. I put BFG KM3 35 x 12.5 on my daughters LJ, but they are really 34.5." You have to dig down into the mfg's detailed specs to find out what they really are. In my experience, a company like Toyo actually gives you 35" when they say it is 35."
I love a lot of things about the new Tacoma, and I can look past a lot of its flaws like interior room and comfort, but I just can’t deal with that motor, and I don’t mean the hybrid system, that could have stayed. Every manufacturer that has opted for a smaller motor and slapping a turbo on it, generally has had pretty bad motor issues of some sort. Toyota is dealing with it now on the Tundra, Ford went through it on almost every Eco boost, but especially in the trucks and SUV’s, and a few other brands as well. There would never be a replacement for displacement.
Would pick up a slightly used Chevy or GMC with the 3.0l diesel for a savings of give or take about $15k... almost triple the amount of truck, features and power.
I had an ‘87’ extended cab back in ‘97’with an indestructible 22R 5spd and put real ‘33’s on it with no issue. Locked the diff, let out the clutch and it climbed mountains for years with no mods. Bring that new mall crawler to the table, no contest with a “REAL” Yota.
Hey Mike, you can unbolt the cab mount that’s behind the front tire to give you more space, and or aftermarket adj upper control arms if you want to go bigger in the future.
The Bigger Tires May be an Issue for the Transmission. I was reading an article on this and Toyota said the New Transmission Had Some Issues When Using Bigger Tires, it has to do with the Programming. You Should Look Into This. 🌴🌴🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I always watch a lot of these videos but never all of the builds, but I’m a huge Tacoma guy with two currently with a new TRD Pro on the way, so I’m here for the whole series
Beautiful Taco ! But they are having some issues now and hope yours is a keeper. I would definitely be careful with all the modifications or it gives Toyota an option to not backup the warranty.
I used to have an old Ford Explorer fieldbomber with 35 x 12.5 Thornbird swampers on it that rubbed so bad they polished the frame. I should have bought rim spacers but the mirrors were already blown off from slamming it between trees. Man, I miss that truck lol
Those are the compression adjustments most likely if there is only one dial, if there are 2 dials then the lower one is usually rebound adjustment and upper is compression. The compression slows the rate of up travel; the higher the number, the more resistance to up travel you'll have.
Sadly he absolutely hates Ford. He has some on the channel just to satisfy the Ford fans for a minute. When he does have em, he only drives em a couple times and they're gone. Shoot, he barely showed anything on the current F-250 giveaway.

Theres a white one on Tacoma World that has 35s on it already looks so good. I love my 24 its my 6th one and its the best driving one yet. Few transmissions have gone out. Mind you the trucks have only been out for a few months and thats what warranty is for..Risk you take for buying the first year but so far mines been great 7500km
Looks SICK! You may be able to get those 35s even further from the rear wheel well and clear up space by pushing some more positive caster on alignment. Worked on my Toyotas
