Am I missing something? (TRD OR)

All,

I am looking at a 2008 Prerunner. It appears to be a debadged TRD OR as it has the button for the RR Diff Lock. Which is what I am after.

My question is, shouldn't the dash have a few more buttons? RSCA Off? Traction control off?

Or; if I understand correctly those features were 2009+ and in 2008 Mechanical LSD was an option?

 

I think those were 2009 and up options. The mechanical LSD was only on the TRD Sport. The OR got the locking diff as you already know.

 

Didn't all non-Sport Prerunners before 2009 have a locking diff? Check for other Off-Road features as well.

 

Please post links to the trucks advertisement. Thanks

Looks like it's got the front skid plate/tow hook and power outlet. Thanks fullas! Looks legit, just debadged. Which imo is not a bad thing.

 

My 2008 SR5 RC prerunner doesn't. It only has the switch because I didn't buy the rr end and harness yet..........

 

Wait, you're saying your truck has the switch in place on the dash but doesn't have the mechanism in the rear end?

Why would they do that?

 

Is the locking diff a real electronic locking diff, or is an open diff with traction contol..ie when one wheel starts spinning, the Anti-lock brakes will hit that spinning wheel and make the other wheel spin too?

 

No, post the link to the actual online advertisement, I want to see pics of the interior.

 

They didnt, Toyota didnt make a RC TRD OR with a locking diff. You guys gotta start doing your homework.

 

They didn't, I did....just like adding the oem cc, fogs, gas tank skid, TRD tow hook, 2013 st wheel, adj int wipers, TRD skid, 2011 grill, oem tow hitch, 2012 sport blinker color matched pwr mirrors w/oem switch, 6 disc HU, 2009 lower dash panel, DC storage bins, etc etc etc.

 

Ah ok, haha sweet.

 

Yea, looks like it's a TRD OR. Chrome rear bumper, bed outlet, TRD wheels, and diff locker.
Either it was debadged or was wrecked and they didn't put the decal back on the bed. Either way, good find if they aren't trying to charge a bunch more for the TRD package.

 

am I missing something? I thought all pre-runners were 2x4 and all TRD ORs were 4x4

 

^Neg. TRD OR was available in 4x2 - all the TRD OR features but without the 4x4 drivetrain.

 

2008 and earlier didn't have RSCA (curtain airbags) or traction control...

 

The pre-runner does have the TRD OR option, it's still a 2X4, not a 4x4. Same applies to the TRD Sport option, it's a 2x4.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm always learning on here.
