Prerunner, SR5, LSD, TRD, 4x4, long bed..... So many options

I am specifically referring to 05+ Tacomas.

There are so many variations of Tacoma. I thought I had my facts straight until I took a look at one yesterday. Correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

4x4
4x4 can come long or short bed. Regular, extended, and crew cab. It can have automatic, 5 speed, or 6 speed. It can have SR5 and\or TRD packages. Not sure if they have an open diff if non TRD. Is LSD an option without TRD or stock? I believe TRD offroad implies having an e-locker. Not sure about later models, see the e-locker section bellow.

Prerunner
4x4 suspension without the xfer case. Has front coilovers. There is no such thing as a 4x4 prerunner. Regular, extended, and crew cab. It can have automatic, 5 speed, or 6 speed. It can have SR5 and\or TRD packages. I thought non TRD were open diff but I looked at a non TRD prerunner 4 door long bed and the rear end said "LSD oil only". Was LSD an option in non TRD or was it stock. Like 4x4 vI believe TRD offroad have an e-locker.

4cyl
No one cares

E-locker & LSD
E-locker came stock or was an option for TRD offroad. After 2009 only a pseudo locker exists that uses the ABS to pulse the rear brakes. Not sure if an LSD exists. Not sure exactly which trims do\dont have LSD or e-locker.

Manual Trans
Exists on all variants & trim except for 4 door long bed.

Non prerunner
All 4 door non prerunner are 4x4. Other variants can be either

SR5
Some interior trim? Nothing performance related.

TRD offroad
Offroad suspension + elocker. Not available in 4-door long bed.

TRD sport
Stiffer suspension

 

Also you can't get a long bed with TRD Off road, only sport.

 

Then there's the XRunner, XSP, TX, Baja....

 

So that means no such thing as an E-locker on a 4-door long bed?

I'll try to create a spreadsheet later.

 

Tow package!

 

i thought the 4dr's werent avail with a manual at all till one came into my work 2 months ago, i think it was a prerunner

 

Correct. unless you install an aftermarket one.

 

Yes. However I think you can get a long bed with a manual.

 

Nope only auto, at least thats how it was when I got mine.

 

KBB does not list 4d long beds with manual.

 

Im not sure about 4d.

Choose one of the non prerunner.

The thing im most curious on is which models\trims have stock or options for LSD or elocker and if LSD is avail in late models.

 

Gelo760 is correct. I deliver to the Toyota Motor plant in AL. The security services drive a non prerunner 2wd 4dr. Saw it tonight as a matter of fact. When I see it next, I'll try and get a pic.

 

2005 thru 2008 TRD Sports came with a mechanical limited slip differential. I believe you could also get it as an option on 2005 thru 2008 SR5 models also. Post 2008, Toyota went to an Auto LSD which is just a brake activated LSD (uses the brakes to mimic limited slip, no more mechanical LSD).

The TRD Off Road package is the only package that has the e-locker.

 

As promised...4 door 2wd non prerunner

 

and fog lights for better driving in fog performance...and back-up camera for driving in reverse performance...

 

My friend has one. 4 cylinder gas saver. I told her she had a cute truck.

 

After 2009 they still came with e-locker. Using ABS to pulse the brakes is known as TRAC or ATRAC, AKA electronic LSD. Not the same as an e-locker.

 

back in the day, we did it the old fashion way...
