Real TRD or not?

Hi i just bought a 2002 double cab trd. 2 wheel drive... I was just wondering if it was a real trd since the guy replace the shocks on it.. it was replace with some kyb's =( it does have the diff switch, not sure if the non trd has that too? just curious what else should i look out for? the guy i bought the truck from was the 2nd owner.. older guy.. in his 60's. If u guys can be of any help? btw it is a automatic Thanks!

 

if it has the rear locker, then chances are it is in probably a trd truck. the guy probably just wanted something cheaper to replace the shocks with.

 

I believe 06 is right, the button is a good clue, take it off road and see what happens.

 

can you do a vin# search?

 

The locker switch is the key. If it has a factory one installed, it is a TRD. There are a few more things that can be on both but only TRD's have the locker .

 

thanks guys.. i did a car fax on it but doesnt say anything about trd.. on it.
im sure it is.. just really curious caus i paid 2k extra for this one.. when i could of got a non trd for 10k. so just hoping i paid for what i thought i was suppose to get? =) it does have the trd sticker on the side.. it says prerunner on the back too. im all new to this. tacoma thing. i went from import cars to getting a brand new gixxer street bike now i got the truck to throw it on the back. btw this is a baddass truck. anyhow is there any other way i can find out? thanks

 

btw u said the locker switch? so that is the one that say diff on the left right? thanks sorry im a noobe.

 

Hey thanks alot banshee.. thats is some very good information u have 4 me.. with pics too.. =) i will look on the bottom of the car tomorrow.. i do have that switch tho so i guess it is a real trd. thanks so much!
