    Test drove the 08 TRD sport 4x4 today and there wasn't a lock rear end switch but in 4low it felt like it was a locker rear end. Does this model have a lockable rear?

    Thx. It felt like a locker because of the binding. I guess I'm looking for the TRD off road then.

    :cool: Good move... and even more amazing than a rear locker is the A-TRAC system on the '09+ if you can swing that. Makes 4 wheel drive into all 4 driving wheels!:D

    OFF ROAD TRD 4WD (the only way to go for the bucks... hood scoops and color matched trim doesn't do a thing to help you climb a grade or get out of a stuck)

    Step 1) A-TRAC:

    A few bolts are different.
    Reminder. A skilled driver without traction control can most of the time out drive a non-skilled driver who has all the equipment but doesnt know how to use it.

    I have seen this scenario many times. :stirthepot:

    Does this mean that 4x4 sport is useless going up a mountain (Paved) road in snow conditions?

    This is TRUE!

    However, a skilled driver WITH traction controls is unstoppable!

    No... Use 4WD on low traction surfaces... paved roads UNDER snow and ice don't count as a dry paved road...!

    that should be said...no 4x4 on dry pavement. iced/snow covered pavement is ok since the tires have the ability to slip. cant do that on dry pavement. still have to be mindful of binding in sharp turns though.

    it's been covered before, but a stock sport and a stock OR have different front coils and a larger sway bar on the sport.

    This brings up a valid point. I want a TRD offroad sway bar on my TRD sport. Better flex but still good control in dangerous situations.
