No Limited slip on 4cyl 4x4's?

roddy1 · 11-02-2008, 08:36 PM

Hey guys i have been looking at the 09' Tacoma Access cab, 2.7L 4x4, 5speed.... up here in Canada its the first time for the 05+ taco to be offered with the 4cyl/4x4 option.

Now in looking at whats standard and optional on these trucks i see no Limited slip or Locker is available as an option from toyota.

Is this the case with all of them? or just a canada only thing?

Im curious if anyone has added one aftermarket? if it affected warranty... and how your truck functions off road without one.

Thanks

Roddy

*Also is a selectable Locker available for the front diff? (like an air locker.. something that wont affect everyday driveability)

The mechanical limited slip diff is gone completely in all the 09 models.

It's been replaced with the AUTO LSD which uses the brakes to help control wheel spin.

Got this off the Toyota Canada site...

You can get the TRD Offroad package in the 2.7L 4x4.

I thought I saw it listed on one of the webpages - but apparently not (I stand corrected). Looks like you need to buy one down here!

or get a V6.....

I read on another post that you can add a Detroit True Trac (LSD) to both front and back. About $450 each (USA). I've emailed a distributor to get parts numbers. I'll repost when I hear anything.

Hey Roddy. Im Canada too and I ordered a 4 cyl Access Cab 4x4 (Its about time they were selling them Canada) It should arrive this week, but anyway, about the limited slip, I don't believe it was ever available on the 2005 and newer 2nd gen Tacoma 4cylinder 4x4's, only the V6 and TRD 4x4's. But now new for the 2009 in all models is the traction control and stability control. So now the 4 banger gets that at least. Limited and locking rear diff would be nice! But I dont plan on doing any crazy off roading in a brand new truck anyway. Ill let you know how the 4cyl 4x4 is when I get it!
