    The 09's with the sport package and the 4x4 look so nice. All the trucks I have seen on here are real nice. Having a hard time deciding which I want between the OFF ROAD or the SPORT.

    I just got the 09 off-road and for me the difference was the Hill Assist Control and slighly higher suspension since I do a lot of bass boat launching on some insanley inclined and crude boat ramps (not really ramps but graveley, rocky slopes going into the river). I figured that because my towing will involve these situations and the ability to go "off-roading" when I want through me to the off-road (plus I'm not a fan of the hod-scoop).

    I like the way the hood scoop looks it makes the truck look tuff. The sport with some ivan steward wheels and some all terrian look hard. Some of the creature comforts in the 09' are nice as well.

    I just picked up my 09 with the Sport package this week. So far I love it. I traded my 03 Tacoma and my 07 Mustang GT/CS. I hardly drove the mustang so it was time for it to go. The Tacoma is a great truck, I hated to get rid of my 03 because it never gave me any problems and I liked driving it. But now that I've had the 09 for a few days I can tell you from experience it is much nicer to drive. The Sport package basically gives you a little nicer ride because the tires are not as aggressive. Good luck in your decision, I certainly have no regrets about mine.
