The 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro has a very interesting factory suspension setup. In this video I walk you through the main components and point out engineering details that make this a good off-road truck. We'll also get a look at the Tundra TRD Pro pickup truck's specially tuned TRD Springs and Fox Shocks that are optimized to make the TRD Pro more capable than the TRD Off-Road and SR5 versions of the truck when it comes to running at high speed on desert dirt roads. The 2.5-inch Fox shocks are quite sophisticated because they have remote reservoirs and an internal bypass feature.
Why am I doing this? I love this stuff. I'm a former suspension development engineer that got into auto journalism, and for several years I created a very popular photo essay feature called a Suspension Walkaround for Inside Line, a now-defunct offshoot of Edmunds.com (no relation). Today I have resumed writing these features under the name Suspension Deep Dive for Autoblog. Between the two, I have written at least 90 of them. Throughout, numerous fans have asked me to make video versions.
I never seemed to have the time, the equipment, or the confidence to get in front of the camera, but I got over that by hosting at least 80 professionally-produced videos over the last three years on the Edmunds You Tube channel. But Edmunds.com wasn't interested in making one of these for their channel. That's why this is my first attempt at a video Suspension Walkaround/Deep Dive, and I decided to make it for my own channel. If you like it, tell your friends, click subscribe, share links, and all of that. I'll do many more if the response is good. And I take requests. I can't promise that I can get my hands on any car or truck, but the odds are good. And the more views I get, the more horsepower I'll have when asking for cars to examine.
