Why does the TRD Off-Road 4x2 exist?

Seems to me a bigger head-scratcher is why buy a 4x2 sport over a 4x2 off-road? At least the 4x2 off-road has a locker.

 

Looks? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Which is why I mentioned (unless you have an MT)

 

I grew up driving a 2003 4-cyl 2WD and never got stuck once even with mud and water up to the door, just got to keep on it in 2nd. However, it was a single cab so the short wheel base helped.

Use to jump it too and the 2WD was amazing in the desert

 

Short cut? I see a fence in the way. Maybe there's a way out I can't see. Looks like the temp registration plate is still on the truck.

 

It's a JEEP THING!

 

I had to.

 

Missed that.

 

Because some men prefer penis's to vaginas..

 

With the TRD Sport, when the decal only says that does that mean it’s a 4x2? Obviously TRD 4x4 Sport is a no brainer. I own a TRD OR that’s a 4x2 so I know the difference there with the decals. Also, how can one tell a 4x2 from a 4x4 without any decals other than looking underneath it?

Thanks

 

You don't need to get underneath it at all. Just look behind the front wheels for a cv axle

 

Is there a way to tell from looking at pics on here? With no many de-badgers its hard to tell. I know 99+ percent are 4x4s but for some reason this interests me… I guess because I own a 4x2 OR that I’m working on upgrading. Here in Ga we really don’t have a huge need for 4x4 except for bragging rights.

 

If you got a low angled shot of the truck's front then it's possible. Otherwise I'm not sure how you'd do that

 

When I was looking in late 2016, the only way to get a sunroof was a sport, limited or pro. I’m a sunroof guy.
