My loaded 1995 Ranger II weighs under 1,000lbs, wet with all my gear. I originally had installed OME heavy duty 2" lift springs with air bags. I removed the air bags and the extra leaf in the springs. It sits and rides perfect now. The older Toyotas don't need as much help as the new Tacomas do.
Why is that the older Toyota don't need as much help as the newer ones? Just curious.

Don't know. But read all of the posts about all of the suspension mods people need for a new Tacoma. Not to mention the hold down issues. I think that maybe truck Mfgs are trying to get a more car like ride since customers are using them for a car with a big trunk now days. I do know that the older campers are lighter. My Ranger II is under 1,000 lbs with 12 gal water, 5 gal propane, forced air and Wave 3 heaters, BBQ, Honda lunch box 350 generator, tankless water heater, leveling blocks, tools, some recovery gear and food for at least a week. IIRC the loaded rig was right at 4,700 lbs loaded.
