    True. Only TRD Sports have a mechanical LSD, however, so you may "wanna rethink that." ;)

    I guess. I personally am not a fan of non-functional scoops, but fair enough. The original point of this thread still holds, regardless, even if it is retarded.

    Why did you start a thread asking about this question? People just do it.

    No kidding... and the only ones who have a problem are those who were cheated out of learning there was a significant difference between the Off Road TRD and ALL other Tacomas... because the salesman didn't learn his product or had a quota of Sport TRDs to sell that month.

    All Tacomas are great... just some are equiped from the factory to drive beyond the point others cannot (without after-market traction mods.).

    I also wish people would indicate 2WD or 4WD in their signature vehicle description... The 4WD Off Road has a locking differential and the hydraulic brake booster and A-TRAC... The 2WD Off Road has just the locking differential.

    The other Tacomas have none of the above.

    BUT, as someone posted above, chrome don't get you home! :rolleyes:

    So, if a 'sport car' look (on a pickup truck) is important to you, get a SPORT TRD, by all means!!! :D

    Have a nice day!:)

    Originally not Expo AF! Kinda Expo AF now...lame.
    My reason is simple. I tow trailers on the weekend and drive site to site as for my job. I never leave pavement.

    The bossman said, "Go buy what you want, I'll pay for gas and the note."

    DONE SON!

    (added 2WD as per someone on this thread somewhere)

    What is a pre-taco? I thought you said "just say what you have." Is a pre taco just a hard shell before they put the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, & sour cream in it? :D
