Ac and dc are the same under the body?

Does the access cab and double cab are the same?, Talking about transmission and suspension components.
I move from California to North Dakota and my truck it's 2wd, I went to the dealer and try to trade in my 2012 2wd for a 2013 4wd and they was offering me 15k for it!! No way Jose!!! I was looking around for a totaled tacoma and I found a 2005 access cab 6 speed 4wd with a lot of goodies. Buuuut I'm not sure if everything it's just going to bolt up trait up or they are totally different.

Please guys need your help.

Thanks.

 

There are a few threads on here about making a 4x2 into a 4x4

That said, make sure the components are in great shape, buying from a totaled vehicle can be an issue.

 

The dealer will not give you much because he will have trouble selling a 2wd in ND. Trade in a state that does not have much snow and you will most likely get a better deal.

 

Thanks for the reply guys, I was tinking drive back to San Diego but the prices on the trucks I was looking here are higher than here. A brand new Sierra 2014 it's about 7k more there and same with the rams.
And the trade in its about 20k to 22k.

Mmm. Idk, I need something bigger to drive with the famili from nd to ca but don't want to waste so much money.

 

If you only need the larger vehicle for one trip, i would rent or fly. You'll save money in the long run. My girls (6 and 9) are quite comfortable in the back of my double cab.
