First trail ride and towing trailer with the 2025 TRD Pro

[Cory39744]

what setting have you been just cruising around town on? I haven't really played around with mine yet as I haven't been off-road in the new Pro yet.

I have kept it on setting 1 which was how it came from the dealer until now. It’s still on setting 2 and still a better ride.

Thanks! I’m a big fan of gray haha.
Yeah, we camped in it. We actually spend a good amount of time out camping in Western VA.

Have any good campsite coordinates you want to share in southwestern VA? I'm thinking about heading up there two weekends from now, but haven't been in those mountains for a while. I have a RTT, so anything in the southwest part of VA with a view or near water would be much appreciated!

Your TRD Pro + trailer are looking great @Cory39744

I had the Fox shocks on 1 for the first 2000 miles, that’s the factory setting, found it to be a bit stiff and jiggly. Switched to 2, and preferred the ride, definitely a bit softer, even on pavement.

Toyota says 1 is for pavement, 2 is for easy to medium trails and 3, the softest, is for speedy dessert running.

Very much appreciated!
I switched out the rear springs and Peak Puck Spacer for Dobinsons C59-817V springs and it performs so much better with or without the trailer.

Still need to find the time to install the CBI Covert bumper and winch that’s been sitting in my garage for 2 months lol

Wait, how do you adjust the suspension?

if you have a TRD Pro. It’s literally at the bottom of the the front coilovers. You have 3 settings 1 being factory. Also the rear shocks same place. Bottom of the shock

Did you tow before swapping out springs? I just got a Pro and will be pulling a small trailer (1500lb dry, but tongue heavy at 400lb). I figured I’d need airbags or new springs. Did those springs eliminate any squat?

There wasn’t really much squat but they just weren’t heavy enough to keep the load comfortable
