The concept refers to a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck that has been modified with a suspension lift kit. This modification increases the vehicle’s ground clearance, raising the body and frame further from the axles. As an illustration, a standard Tacoma might have eight inches of ground clearance, while a modified version could have twelve inches or more, depending on the specific lift kit installed.
Implementing such modifications offers several advantages. Increased ground clearance allows for improved off-road performance, enabling the vehicle to navigate more challenging terrain, such as rocks, mud, and uneven surfaces. Historically, lift kits were primarily used for off-road racing and extreme terrain exploration. Over time, the practice has become increasingly popular among recreational off-road enthusiasts and those seeking a more aggressive aesthetic.
