    Deer season, turkey season off road stuff.
    Not alot of 4wd per hunting seasons actually.
    Park and go hit the woodline.
    Might have to use 4wd once I get a dead buck close enough to a field line or firebreak from the woods.

    Tar baby driving.
    Probably once a month.
    Put it 4wd do 2 or 3 laps around the neighborhood to drive in 4wd maybe 1.25 miles total that way.

    Manual says 10 miles a month IIRC to "exercise" the 4wd system.

    If the dirt is the same color as your truck does it still count?

    I am all on pavement. I do frequently use my 6 foot bed to haul stuff that won't fit in my wife's Corolla

    I'm envious of your 6' bed, I wanted one, but I couldn't get both that, four doors, and three pedals under the dash, the latter two options won.

    I am envious of your Double Cab now that I have a 9 month old grand daughter. When my wife and I babysit we drive her in my wife’s Corolla. I don’t feel comfortable putting an infant seat in the back of my Access Cab.

    She used to be a dirt diggler. Now she's enjoying Garage Queen status with occasional recreational duty, while other vehicles took up the dirty mantle of commuter mileage.

    Truck stuff. Commute for now, haul things, dirt as needed for work. Should have taken the picture before I backed the trailer into the shop. PXL_20250423_211109137.jpg

    I don't do mud, but I put more miles on the trails than pavement.

    She's a little bit of both. Mostly sits in the garage these days though since I'm WFH now. The only times it leaves anymore is hunting/fishing/camping.

    Bought it new, TRD O(n) Road... I like a clean vehicle, makes off roading hard to imagine (to be fair, it looks like a lot of fun, just in someone else's vehicle).

    Please no disrespect meant, but why pay more for a TRD Sport when you could have just got a SR5 4x4 to do the same thing?? I had NO intentions of off roading (been there got that t-shirt) so I just got a RWD truck, I'm not asking why you got the 4x4, might get a lot of snow in your area, but don't understand the TRD part... lol

    In the end it is to each their own, and I 100% respect that...

    Don't get me wrong, I love the truck, it's gorgeous...

    Hey no hard feelings. Bought an off road because I wanted a manual, liked the look of the OR the most (not a fan of the scoop or stock sport wheels), and it was what was available. I liked the off road from the get go, I liked the softer ride too, wanted the capability if I ever needed it (80% of 4wd trucks probably never need it) and holds it value pretty well. Seemed like a no brainer to me. Me likey, me buy, simple as that lol.
