    my 09 is a 4x4 and my 96 is a 4x2. I get the best of both worlds even if my 96 feels like a mini vehicle cause it aint no "prerunner" style.

    Never needed a 4X4,
    My 4X2 only left me at the bottom of the hill once, 26" Snowstorm while petsitting.:(
    I put a pair of Winterforce snows on the back, and I have a 62 beetle beam in the bed for weight now.:eek:

    There is not much for places where you can go "Offroading" here.
    People build houses in those places here, then sell them for $2m

    My taco is an X so for those that dont know its a 2wd. I dont think there is such thing as a 4x4 sports truck. I could be wrong

    Pre Runner 4X2 TRD for me, 4wd is only an occasional thing for us even in extreme snow conditions. I've always made it up to Tahoe in 2wd maybe had to use chains once in while.
    I had a Exploder with 4wd and it was nice to know we had if needed but in 4 years of owning that car we used it once.
    I love the looks-ride of my Pre Runner.
