2010 trd offroad sr5

just picked up my truck and drove it from ny to mammoth ca. I've been offroading out here for a good 2,000 miles and know what this area has to offer and what a stock tacoma with an offroad package is capable of. Is there specific generation does this year fall into or body code of some sort. can anyone fill me in a little about this truck ive grown to love, other than the fact that the mudflaps suck wang(lost one already) thanks alot fellow yota enthusiasts

 

sorry for being such a nube but seem if you try to find out something about this truck all searches direct you to the toyota website (which mind you, also blows wang)

 

also...2nd gens are inferior to 1st gens in almost all ways

how come? truck seems right good if you got the 6 speed tranny. it just isnt a yota if you get otherwise and automatics are pretty weak sauce.

 

thats the badge on the back sr5. trd offroad just has different wheels and bilstein shocks i imagine. the tires do the trick as i still work in ny city and have to drive highway 50miles a day

 

Silly 1st Gen owner.. figures haha jk

Welcome BTW

 

2WD or 4WD ???

The Off Road Pkg. makes the 4WD awesone with its Active Traction Control hydraulic brake booster which gives you limited slip on all four tires in H4 and locker-like traction in L4.

If 2WD, press the VSC Off switch briefly to engage 'AUTO LSD' for a 'posi-traction'-like rear end when you need both rear tires working for you stronger than the standard 2WD TRAC works. Then, if a real emergency stuck, you have a Locking Rear Differential... next best thing to 4WD.
If you want open differential spinning tires, then hold the VSC Off switch down for 3+ seconds, while stopped.

 

also...2nd gens are inferior to 1st gens in almost all ways

so this is entirely based on opinion? huh?

 

thanks dave

 

opinion...........4.0l motor has some more potential along with some added safety features. more computerized for sure but i still have no prob disabling traction control and whipping around the high desert while getting squirrely. oh i do especially love the locking rear diff for mobbing through the soft stuff. i want a snorkel for sure, found myself fording a river the otherday but only submerged 2/3 of my tires. fun stuff!!!!
