Heyy fellow Raptorian’s and FRFers,

My buddy with a 2010 Taco(Toyota Tacoma) wants to upgrade his suspension.
Was curious to know if the stock Fox Shocks from the Raptor would work for the Taco??


Thanks in advance!!

How much taco can a tacoma ma if a tacoma could ma taco?

Probably the same as how much wood can a woodchuck chuck....

Now a Raptor knows what to do with a taco.




How much does that taco weigh again? Wheelbase dimensions versus The Raptor? Front coil over specs vs The Raptor? Base wheel travel? etc etc etc

Raptors and tacos are like apples and oranges. Both can indeed be found in the offroad truck category, but..... Raptors don't crunch like tacos

If you had asked about an F150, well..... now that's an apple.
















However, with Icons he could just turn the little knobs and voila!

:hmmm2:

Guy I work with has 2.5s on his taco. I figured they came with whatever model he has... No? I don't know shit about tacos. Unless it's a Taco Bell taco. Then I'm on it like Kobayashi.

Thats funny dude...hawhawhaw


Sounds like WAY more work than its worth.

Thats what im telling my buddy...he probably would have to change a lot more of his OEM/stock parts than just swapping out his suspension for our suspension...

Yep same here...not too knowledgeable in the Yota/taco area..

Would be quite curious to know about this fellows build...I believe the Raptor is the only Production vehicle that comes stock from the Factory with FOX SHOXs...hmmm

I'd say no, for the simple reason the raptor is far heavier than a tacoma.
not to mention the plethora of other reasons.

theres a tacoma baja version but im pretty sure it comes with bilstiens. which are great shocks as well. I love mine.
