TRD Sport tacoma a waste of money?

So correct me if I'm wrong, but living in NE with the amount of snow we get, wouldn't a LSD be better than an open/locked diff?

 

xD is just another smiley, tilt your head to your left. Think I first saw it on IRC many many years ago.

 

Replica- perhaps not, I'm from up north and I know all too well that the braking system suddenly stopping or even slowing one wheel won't help much if at all at a moment when traction has already become a thing. Rather avoid a problem than have it and react to it after the fact. Diff lock in the snow is overkill but on a twisty mountain road slowing down and hitting that magic switch beats having the rear break loose and causing one of those 'pucker' moments hahaha

 

I have LSD so I suppose I don't have to worry....

 

I had a 2012 loaner automatic tacoma for a week, so it had the "Auto LSD". It had traction control. Wasn't a Sport, but I don't remember if it was an OR or just a SR5. I just remember my 08 Sport M6 without traction or ABS seemed to do better in snow. I had Terra Grapplers though, so the tires were better.

 

Here's the 4wd version of what I now will refer to as... "Non-Locker". FML.

 

You sir don't know what you are talking about.

 

Pgh- ooh pretty! ' kinda wheels?

 

But you have that pro grille. That'll get you out of most situations.

 

Fuel Boost

 

That was mainly paying homage to the FJ... But makes up for it as I can take it off and use it as a grip pad to get me out of my non-locker mud bog. Haha

 

I love my sport because I'm a Not a off-road driver that has a 50 mile interstate commute each day.

I get 21 mpg's and can haul the two kids and a bed full of crap.

Plus in Iowa it's awesome to have 4WD for our shitty winters.

 

Diff lock on snowy roads ?

 

xD is a reverse "butthurt". Only those with hood scoops and 2 wd would know that.

 

I don't care what that truck came equipped with. I'd do it.

 

Qchawks-21 mpg??? Assume u mean in the Oddity, not the Taco. Unless downhill both ways? What's ur secret? We all want to know....

 

Yeah, 21mpg? I hate you. I need to stop driving mine like its a sportscar though

 

You use your locker on snowy roads ?

 

^^Haha.^^ This thread is incredible.

 

My 2013 TRD Sport dcsb 5a 4x4 averaged 19-19.5. My same 2015 has averaged 21.3. The only two tanks below 20mpg were due to gas it didn't like. After switching it went back up again.

Don't know why I get 21 avg for mixed driving but I'll take it.
