    Share some photos of the brake master cylinder under the hood (drivers side, firewall.)

    I think the TRD OR's have a hydraulic booster whereas most other Tacos of that vintage have a vacuum-assisted booster? Or something like that. An expert will chime in here to correct me if needed.

    Fair enough, one other thing. When i got the truck it seemed to used to be debadged since there was cheap 2 sided tape holding on all of the badges. My best bet is that they took the stickers off and never put it back on. I’ll look into the scan thing eventually but it’s not a huge concern, I was just curious.

    That's the vacuum type system. But you could still have an off-road.
    Are the shock boots (top) blue?

    A-TRAC (only on 4x4 Off Road TRDs from 2009 and on) requires the hydraulic brake booster.

    I’ll check in a little bit about the boot color.

    Looks like a legit TRD Offroad to me.


    The TIS lookup seems kind of hit or miss on what it shows, some trucks it shows alot of detail but others it doesn't.

    The Hydraulic booster was only standard on 09+ TRD OffRoad models unless you had a pre-09 with the rare VSC/Traction Control option.
