Trail Tested
The term “Trail tested” means we’ve put the product through moderate or extreme terrain. Trail tested is our stamp of approval on whether or not this product is worthy of your Tacoma.

While some reviews may be more of initial thoughts or overviews, Trail tested means that the product has literally been tested and pushed to its limits while on the trail.
