Which one is the best Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road of all time? We got all four generations of the Tacoma off-road pickup truck at the same time at the same place to figure this out. We take a look at all of the specs and drive each truck in Andre’s Pit at the Tumble Weed Ranch back to back. This is a great way to get great impression of how each generation of the Tacoma compares to the next. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comment section below.
