    I had to settle for the 2wd due to money.
    Are there any 2wd, TRD sport owners out there? Let me see your trucks.

    I wish I went for the TRD package, only for the seats. Going to keep my eyes on the local junkyard. Anyone know if the seats from a 4-Runner fit?

    2WD TRD Sport here. Have taken it down trails that it did fine in. Occasionally it'll slip a little bit on the ramp when pulling my boat out. Otherwise I like the lower price, better mileage, less maintenance, less insurance.
