    Here's what I asked just before the listing ended...

    Q : Was the TRD Off-road package really installed, or does it just have the stickers, because Toyota doesn't offer a factory TRD package in their regular cab models.

    The TRD Offroad Package includes a locking rear differential and Bilstein shocks among other things.

    A [    Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 11:52 AM]: I will find out

    The dealer is either trying to pull a scam or they got duped on a trade in. Shame if they got duped since they are a Toyota dealer. They should know that a TRD doesn't come in a regular cab 4cyl. The lack of fog lights is another give away. :smack:

    Why? They are not listing it as a TRD on the website. Good call on their part.

    Its a bicycle.
    i just sent their website this...

    just wanted to let you know that toyota tacoma regular cab you're selling isnt a TRD. you should probably remove those stickers before you defraud a customer!
    have a nice day!

    with a fake name and number, but my real E-mail... that way if they respond back to me negatively, i can mark their E-mails as spam... which AOL will ad to its statistics...

    yay!:D

    edit: though... i hope they dont try to call that number...
