    If you get the Prerunner (2wd) , you are better off getting the TRD Off Road so at least you have something extra if you do take it offroad.

    Love my 2015 TRD Sport DCSB. I've had a dozen or more trucks in my time. Best one so far.

    sport has a larger housing in order to fit an internal truss that's part of the 3rd member. keeps the gear mesh more constant under load, which can save you sheered ring gear teeth.

    Yea I have had 2 off road models in the past and now I have a dclb sport and to me it's the best one so far. Even though it's still stock. I guess you could make an off-road sport if you wanted to get the best of both worlds. To each his own.

    Y'all are forgetting about the most important part! the extremely life saving must have super cool BED OUTLET! It only comes on trds right?

    I do like my locker and all but I currently want to color match my bumper and get sport mirrors so i probably should have went with the sport...

    NO YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE. I picked up a color matched grill surround and rear bumper for cheap, sold my take off chrome for almost what it cost for the new OEM grill/bumper. Now I have a better off road 4x4 with a locker and A-Trac, which everyone seems to forget about, and I am all color matched.

    I like mine because of the color matched aspect, hood scoop, and the interior. A pretty decent package imo.

    I really love mine. I like color match, the seats, and the fact it's not 4x4. I don't need 4x4 nor did I want to pay for it. I don't camp. I don't off road for fun. And I don't want to beat up my brand new truck. So to each his own but the sport is for a guy like me. More street less off road.

    I knew that. I wanted the OR because of the locker. Figure it would have a better axle as well.

    Why wouldn't they use the same upgraded axle just add the locker to it.
