How does the 4wd ride?

As for resale maybe it depends where your located the trd off-road trims don't do any better here than sr5's. Seems more people think they are more ikely to get beat up than the sr or sr5 lower versions.

 

I never really experienced better braking in 4wd unless with certain tires. I will say with 4wd as long as you know how the truck reacts on ice, it will give you better control. Panic and your still screwed.

 

I had a Sport and OR both with 4wd. I prefer the ride of the OR. It seems softer, but I definitely wouldn't consider it bouncy.

 

My SR Tacoma rides like --well I'll say it "a truck".
Way stiffer ride than my old F150 4X4. But don't get me wrong I am not complaining!

 

Yes the difference is incremental - 14% better stopping in 4WD vs 2WD in the Tacoma:
