    I have an 07 TRD Sport. The tailgate was debadged before I got it, and I am now thinking of putting black badges on the truck. Which badges came on the tailgate originally? I think it should have TACOMA, V6, 4x4, and possibly others?

    I did that before posting. There is some confusion since I have seen TRD Sport models that have V6, SR5, PreRunner, and 4x4 on them. I think people have swapped tailgates and created confusion. My understanding is that Sports are upgraded SR5s, and I have seen a picture of one with SR5 on the tailgate. Also, I am unsure if the 4x4 is a factory badge or something that was added by one of the owners after purchase.

    Further adding to the confusion, I thought all PreRunners were 2WD, but I have seen it on the tailgate of a 4WD Sport.

    Your '07 rolled off the assembly line looking like this.

    Since you have a '12 front clip, in order for it to be period correct, it should look like this. The last years of 2nd gens didn't come with the SR5 badge. If you got a prerunner, everything would be the same, except it also had a prerunner badge on the right side above the other badges and it would not have 4X4 on the mud flaps.

    Thank you, that is very helpful! I want it to be period correct.

    I pulled off everything and put on a “TRD” badge on the back. Looks clean and simple.
