Toyota 8.75 Inch Rear 2016-23 Tacoma 4.88-5.29 Ratio Ring and Pinion

 Stop Gear Hunting and Restore Drivability to Your Tacoma.

The 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma is legendary for its reliability, but it suffers from one major complaint: the factory gearing is simply too tall for the 6-speed transmission. Add 33-inch or 35-inch tires, and the truck constantly "hunts" for gears on the highway, refusing to hold 6th gear and killing your fuel economy. Revolution Gear & Axle provides the definitive mechanical fix for this issue.

At Overland Truck Store, we consider a regear to be the single most transformative modification you can make to a lifted Tacoma. By switching to a 4.88 or 5.29 ratio, you put the engine back in its optimal power band. This eliminates the constant downshifting on hills and makes the truck feel responsive and lighter on its feet.

Revolution Gear sets are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a quiet setup that lasts. These 8.75-inch rear gears are built to handle the abuse of overland travel, towing, and technical off-roading, giving you the confidence to push your truck further.

Features & Specs:

• Application: Toyota Tacoma (2016-2024) with the 8.75" Rear Axle (Commonly found in TRD Off-Road/Pro models with factory E-Locker or Manual Transmissions—please verify your specific axle model).

• Ratio Selection:

  • 4.88: Ideal for daily drivers with 33-inch tires or light 35s.

  • 5.29: Recommended for heavy overland builds, towing, or 35-inch+ tires.

• Performance: Drastically improves highway drivability, towing capability, and crawl control off-road.

Installer Note: This ring and pinion is for the Rear 8.75" differential. If you are 4WD, you must also regear the front differential (8" Reverse Rotation Clamshell) to match. We strongly recommend pairing this with a Master Install Kit for a complete overhaul.
