    So I have 4runner TRD Pro (3rd owner) but when I look up the vin it says the premium limited model. Even though it has the grill, skid plate, shocks and literally everything to show it’s the pro model. Don't if anyone has seen this before? It’s a 2018 4runner.

    Form follows function
    One can get the parts from dealer to look TRD Pro. Do you have the sale window sticker showing TRD Pro?

    It's just how toyota does it. Tacoma TRD Pro shows up as an SR5 on a lot of decoders. Dont fret it.

    TRD Pro 4runner has multi mode, limiteds do not. Limiteds have AWD and dials for switching. Pro has a lever.

    Then you have the roof rack, wheels, side steps etc. On top of that if you have the shocks its a pro.

    The stock sticker say TRD premium. Even when I do vin search on it. The first owner was an old lady, second owner was an IT guy and didn’t driver it. If any did it it looks too clean to swap it out including the lift and shocks in my personal opinion

    Yeah.
    Maybe ask on the 4Runner forums as well. But AFAIK, the T4R Limited is the only model that has the Torsen center differential. All others are part-time 4WD. Kinda silly if you ask me, but pushes people to the Lexus GX.
