Nitro Gear & Axle Kit for 3rd Gen Tacoma TRD Off-Road & Pro: Nitro Gear & Axle Kit for 3rd Gen Tacoma TRD Sport, SR5, & Limited:
In this video, we talk about the very important issue of proper gearing for the Toyota Tacoma. From the factory of Toyota, the Tacomas come with gears that are meant for higher mpg, doing so drastically affected the driveability and power of the Tacoma. The 3.90 gears used in the 3rd gen Tacoma basically ruined the driveability of the truck on the highway or going on hills.
We take the 2018 Tacoma to a local shop in Colorado to get the proper gears put in it to accommodate the bigger tires that we have put on it. We have 285/75/17 on the truck, which is equivalent to a 34-inch tire. This drastically affected the truck's ability to accelerate and keep the speed without downshifting constantly. Even with stock tires and no lift, the stock gears have issues with knowing which gear to be in. By regearing to 5.29, we have corrected the gears to accommodate for the bigger tires and added weight.
If you would like to keep your vehicle stock FOREVER, we would recommend 4.88. But if you plan on upgrading tire sizes or load the truck then we would highly recommend 5.29.
