As far as I know, the regulation is that you can drive in Wharton and the surrounding state forests in a legal street vehicle (insured and registered) and park ranges won’t bother you. I know they will ticket you and confiscate an ATV or Motorcross since those are not road vehicles. I’ve driven...

Wow. Did it do this even with the software update? I know a lot of guys in the forums said their software updated helped a since it was a huge issue in the 2016 models and such. Will keep in mind if I do get it. Plus make sense since most of the weight is in the front. NJ has really bad...

This is why I’m having my doubts. The 6-speed auto in the Taco is weird from what I’ve read. I would love a manual but it’s not offered in the access can TRD OR. Plus I feel like it needs more power and torque. I bet that 10-speed is a huge improvement in the Raptor right? How’s highway comfort?

Hmmm, if I do get it, maybe I can wrap it in a black matte vinyl, that should offer some protection.

Let me ask you, says you're in Maine. Aren't some trails tight there?

Yes I'm actually looking into the extended cab one, the crew cab is too long imo. Plus, the wheelbase is only 6" longer than the Taco's

Are the trails tight there in OR? How does your Raptor do in those tight trails?

It's how you use it what matters (at least I like to tell myself) :banana-mario:

No problem! Post vids off roading there. But see this is why I asked the question. The pine barrens have some tight trails and can be very challenging. I go there all the time, but see a lot of F-150s and such off roading along with Wranglers.

Seems like you're from NY. Just take a trip to NJ and take the parkway all the way south. Wharton SF has nice campgrounds. And yes, it does get challenging!

Yup I would be going to the pine barrens a ton

Here in NJ there are some fast and flowy trails where the Raptor would shine, definitely.

This is why I'm having such a hard time deciding. I honestly like both trucks equally. But, the Raptor is the most luxurious and possibly the most comfortable in every way. We spend a lot of time outdoors which includes tons of driving for outdoor activities.

I know, I’m not comparing them. Just want to know if the Raptor would do ok in the northeast forests.

Hello all new to this forum... hoping to become a regular. My wife gave me the green light to buy a Tacoma TRD OR. However, now I’m debating whether to get a Taco or a Raptor. Yes I know price difference and yes we can afford it. However, I plan to do off-roading here in the northeast which...
