    No. All prerunners are 2wd but not locked.

    Does yours have the button in the dash for an e-locker? Many go aftermarket if not and go wth an air locker like ARB.

    Perform better? Not on the road but off-road I kept my arb engaged always. Now I have a Detroit locker.

    I assume you're talking about the diff? I think '08 and back had a mechanical lock and '09+ have the electronic LSD.

    If it's a TRD Off Road it's locked, otherwise it isn't unless after market was installed

    Mine was an Sr5 and wasn't locked. The rear diff is a little stronger in these than the ones with e-locker. I added an arb. Then I bent the whole axle so I am putting a 9" Currie axle in mine. Lol

    Side question.....

    For those with a pre-runner that has a rear locker, what kind of situations do you find yourself using it in generally? And has it made certain terrains rideable where otherwise it wouldn't be, despite it being 2wd?

    All TRD's...OR and Sports have either the mechanical or electronic LSD depending on the year. After '09 all tacos have the electronic LSD which use the brakes to transfer power from one side to the other.

    The button that says "off" turns it on.

    Any off camber situations where one rear tire came off the ground was a good time to have it locked. Lol

    @Plain Jane Taco thats just your traction control. It doesn't turn anything on. Just turns the traction control off.

    Hmmm ok call me dumb but what's the difference then between the rear locker and auto-LSD? Sounds like both control the rear wheel spinning?
