I am sure you will be very happy with it. My friends and family are probably pretty annoyed with me by now, lol. I can't stop talking about my new DCSB 4x4 TRD sport and the potential adventures in the future. I really debated with the TRD sport and TRD off-road but didn't see myself getting into serious off-roading just yet so TRD sport works for now. I will upgrade parts if and when the time comes.

Thanks everyone! So after the past week or so, I finally decided that I will be looking for a 4x4. I realized that I probably can't afford to buy an RZR, which means that I will need a 4x4 truck to follow my buddies. If I get the 4x2, my truck will just be sitting at camp (i'm planning to keep it stock, besides upgraded tires and wheels). I'm def going to be spending a bigger $ chunk that I want but I think i'm making the right decision. I tested a truck yesterday and I am in LOVE!! It's a 2014 4x4 double cab with the TRD-Offroad package. What do you guys think? I haven't tried negotiating the price yet, I'm waiting for them to get a black, dark grey or white color. Also, if you guys are familiar with the dealership let me know, I want to make sure they "trustworthy".

There are two TRD packages. Three if you count the TX pro. The one I have on my old truck was the TRD sport. This package is all about looks. Its color matched bumpers, stiffer suspension, fake hood scoop, entune, and different seats.

The TRD offroad has a locker, atrac, sport seats, and entune.

That is fantastic, but let's not confuse Dan... He is just learning the difference between the two TRD packages... and that all Tacoma models can be 2WD or 4WD. He wants and will use the 4WD, and (for Dan): a Prerunner is 2WD (TRD Off Road means it has a locker and sits on the same suspension as 4WDs do).

Correct. Besides his insurance more than likely only increasing very slightly, it would come down to finding a 4wd for the right price, or using a 2wd TRD Off Road to its fullest potential and saving some cash.

BUT I don't think anyone has ever honestly regretted buying a 4wd, as long as it fit into their budget.

Why doesn't this specific model have the front hood scoop ?

Only TRD Sport models have the hood scoop & color-matched grill and rear bumper.
