Why is my Tacoma 2WD?!?!?

If it is the OR, then yes, it has all of the same features.

 

weak

 

Smitty

 

Who's that?

 

He shows up from time to time and drops a gem like this, then either makes a couple comments and disappears or poof gone if it has instant traction

 

My sarcasm didn't translate well over the internet...

 

I thought so, but its early.
Wasnt to sure, play it safe to not ruffle feathers

Copy that,

 

A lot of people use the 2wd OR for desert prerunners and the locking diff comes into play when launching boats and such

 

As a California that literally lives in the desert and within walking distance of a lake, this is accurate.

 

Really ? A 2 wd with a locker is false security especial with tacos having traction control driven LSD already. The improvement is not sufficient enough. Might as well drop down to an sr5 with 4 wd for less money. . . 4 wd with active drive wheels on front is infinitely better and safer in off road conditions.

 

I know guys with the 2wd OR that get way farther than most of the third gen ORs ever will lol

 

The best boat launching vehicle I ever had was my 2004 4 runner with a low range but without the locking the center diff engaged.

 

That's awesome. I'm not biased at all towards what other people have or haven't driven. My truck does everything I want it to in my price range,which is why I chose it.

 

ORs with 4 wd ? My OR 3 g still has atrac, 4 wd and rear locking diff. I think we’re talking about two different terrains. We live in Maine we’re even on road with steep terrain can have a foot of mud or snow or be ice coated. 2 wd anything is pretty useless.
Flatlanders with more solid surface , different animal

 

Ha ha, I hear you.
All Toyota trucks are awesome....even my early 2 wd short beds....at least to me.

 

Not what I was trying to say, just seems that most (not all) 4wd third gens never leave the pavement at all haha

 

Yup...trade it in.

 

Just funny you mention this, ironically I live where the everything is flat and I see ALOT of 4x4s that hardly leave their driveway let alone see dirt other than our windstorms that blow it on them .

Everyone's situation is different, as long as they're not drinking and driving or destroying public places, I could care less if they went off-roading in a Pinto, as long as they can excavate it when they're done.

 

Ok, I hear you. They’re often the first vehicles to leave the road too in snow. People think 4wd is some how a substitute for the right tires and common sense.
