Chrome grill and rear bumper

Electronic Limited Slip - slightly bigger rear end (8.4")
Firmer valved shocks

One has Skewp

One has DavidK

 

HAHA

but in all seriouness.

Shocks are the same.

TRD Offroad has progressive front coils vs linear of the Sport

TRD off road has rear locker, sport does not
TRD has atrac, downhill assist, sport does not
TRD has the much better electric boosted master cylinder/abs unit, vs the antiquated vacuum assist and separate abs unit.

the ONLY reason to get a sport is to get the double cab long bed config... otherwise get the TRD OR.
