just a few questions about my 2007

ive used the search item, and ive found some answers, but i still have some quick questions:

my tacoma is 2007 trd sport 4x4, i know it has LSD, but do both back tires spin at the same time in 2wd? also when i have 4x4 engaged, because it is LSD, does that mean just 1 front and 1 back tire spins, and whichever one is getting traction spins? thanks for the help in advance

 

Read through the beginning of these 2 threads. It should clear some things up, but if you still have questions afterwards post them up and I'm sure you'll get answers.

yea ive read up on all those kinds of posts, but i was just wondering for my particular truck what exactly it has i guess

 

There isn't an lsd in the front, it's an open diff. The rear is still lsd, so it will provide traction to the wheel with the least spin. Is that what you were looking for?

 

yes it does thanks, and sorry if this has already been answered, but with the LSD in the rear, is that in 2wd as well as 4wd, and are both back tires spinning at the same time, or just the one with most traction like you said? thanks a lot for the help

 

The lsd rear will provide more power to the wheel with the most traction in 2wd or 4wd.

Just FYI,
I have a 2007 DC TRD Sport 4x4

 

Both tires don't always necessarily spin together. It's a limited slip, not a locked axle. The intent is it will act like an open differential on dry pavement, allowing you to turn without binding up, but if one tire starts to spin, it transfers power to the other tire as well. You have LSD in 2wd and in 4wd.

 

ok cool, i think that clears it all up, thanks for the help everyone

 

I'd recommend finding some greasy hardpack, loose gravel or light mud and get some first hand experience

 

sounds fun, i plan on tryin out some beach fun soon and a quick something else, i know the TRD O/R can lock the back, can they lock the front also?

 

Nope, no front locker for the TRD OR. Remember to air down the tires for the sand, it'll make a huge difference.

 

ok will do, i got the bfg mud terrain tires on, hope theyll do ok, i hear they dig pretty good in the sand

 

Love it
