    I'm in the early stage of figuring out how to dismantle the center console and its storage compartment so it can be used on my rural mail route here in Montana.

    Tell me what this vehicle is? I just went ahead and bought it without knowing anything about what Toyota calls their trims on their large vehicles!

    Thank you very much :) The last treacherous day, during an ice storm a week ago or so, I even got my whole route delivered in a front wheel drive Park Avenue. All four city carriers called it too unsafe and packed it in soon after hitting the streets. I should be able to get my route delivered now with this truck in almost any weather unless the postmaster calls all of us back in due to safety.

    Which is better, the sport or the off road then?


    Does someone have a rundown of the trim levels from base to maxed out?

    Main differences on the outside is the sport has painted rear bumperettes (body colour) a scooped hood, a lower air deflector under the front bumper, and 17" wheels with less aggressive tires.

    The offroad gets the multiterrain control on the interior, 16" wheels with at tires..

    Neither is necessarily better than the other just different depending on what ya wanna use it for!

    I'll admit that I haven't read my owner's manual either, but somewhere in there you'll find instructions on how to use the locking rear differential (amongst other features) :thumbsup:.
