I'm looking at getting a TRD OFF road with the bigger axle.

Does it have more bearing area, weight capacity, and durability for towing and hauling than std. axle?

Have the problems really been solved re low mileage failures reported of this axle?

Thanks,
Jay

Why do you have to get a trd to get the bigger axle?

Manual or trd off-road for 8.75 rear axle, 24% higher gross axle weight rating. There's been less than 5 "failures" on this forum, the minor howling noise does not indicate internal diff damage.
