Long Term Review – Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (Update: March 2019)
Long Term Review – Falken Wildpeak AT3W (Update: March 2019) 30 second review: First impressions are the Falken Wildpeak tires look really aggressive (awesome) on the Tacoma.

Offroad Difficulty: 1/5 – You don’t need much to get out here – you’ll just be more comfortable with a high clearance vehicle. Kid Friendliness: We’re heading back this summer so keep an eye out for that post. I’m thinking there will be plenty of plants and trees to inspect as well as large meadowy areas where Ava can explore. GPS Data: This trip was a few years ago but it was the first my wife and I…
