    My stock suspension with 7400# tractor+trailer and 5500# camper squats about 1” but does fine. Off-road suspension gives just fine in my experience, better than the Taco was. 4EA25A40-ACCD-40C0-86E5-74CD9A61331E.jpg

    The Pro may not be the best choice for hauling an ATV as it's leveled and thus will squat if you put any weight in the bed.

    It's also at the low end of Tundra payload at around 1,200 pounds.

    On especially the Tacoma I feel the TRD Offroad is hands down the better suspension. I have to drive in NYC a lot and the Offroad suspension just does a much better job sucking up the crate size potholes and has better small bump sensitivity. I hated the Sport suspension on my Tacoma in NYC....jarring was the best way to describe it. I test drove the Tundra Sport and immediately noticed similarities to my old Tacoma hence why I got the Offroad Tundra. I have no experience with the PRO suspension but I would assume it’s better than all the suspensions. When the roads were smoother and on a decent highways the Sport felt slightly more planted and had a little less body roll... I just drive a more reasonable speed with my Tundra and it’s great. In all honesty I find the Tundra to ride hands down better than the Tacoma’s and even better than the 4Runner.

    My Yamaha Grizzly 700 weights about 750 pounds ish and it squat about 2 inches. Truthfully Toyota pickup trucks rear suspension have always been notoriously soft in my experience. I have a 6x9 trailer which I am going to continue using even though I have more than enough truck to put it in the bed.
