    nah fam i was kinda serious... I was thinking of a car (trucc in this case) that can be at the track one day but tow a trailer from Tennessee to Florida and back on the next. A car that can be very practical and fast at the same time. Only trucks and station wagons can do that IMO. I went for trucks bc they're lighter, they're built to tow and haul, and ofc for the shits n giggles as you said :D

    No, the 2wd Prerunner is still a 6 lug with the same suspension as the 4x4. A 5 lug is lower to the ground, lighter, and has different suspension.

    If you are serious about being competitive in a certain autocross class, then you need to prep your vehicle according to the rules of that class. Every mod you put on the vehicle has to be done according to which class you are trying to compete in.

    If you just want to try it out and have some fun, just make sure you have some decent tires and brakes and the truck is safe to drive.

    Yea lol. I got one. My PreRunner is a 6 lug, automatic, Xtra Cab, lifted. They’re as rare as they come. Only downside is that they’re not 4WD. It does come with a locking rear diff, though.
