2010 Tacoma trd OffRoad

yeah but i wanna get a 4x4 but its gunan be my daily driving truck. like to work and w.e and the offroading i would be is like ocotillo wells in Southern California. Or Glamis.

 

Where in SoCal?

 

Yea i love my 2wd with locker. it does great in ocotillo wells. i can honestly say i have only needed 4x4 3 times in my life. but thats because i stick to the deserts.

 

San Diego. El cajon Area

 

So basically, tell your dealership sales guys that they are idiots and need to do their hmwk and read the sticker.

 

That makes all of us...

 

mtv.

 

Less "texting lingo" more english please

 

american edjumacation is a wonderful thing.

 

no. But Then why is there a button that makes it so the rear differential locks up and the front tires can pull you out... =/ i will take a pic today if i can

 

Right now in San Diego a Toyota salesman just called his wife and said, "Baby, I'm gonna take you out somewhere nice for dinner."

 

Explanation for you. Say you are driving a long and one of your back wheels starts to spin and the harder you press the peddle, that tire just keeps spinning and digging deeper and deeper while the other tire is doing nothing. That is called an open differential. Our trucks will apply all their power to the spinning wheel to try and get you free. Only problem is that sometimes that just makes it worse.
At this time if your truck has the Rear Locker you can press it and it wheel lock the differential in the back so that both tires get 50/50 worth of power. Now that free tire that was just doing nothing can get your moving. The rear locker has nothing to do with the front wheels.

I hope this helps.

 

lmao

 

Are you refering to the anti-spin LSD and A-Trac systems

 

what the hell are we talkin about? No power to the back wheels and all the the front? What the heck

 

this thread is fkn epic!

i think your dealership was explaining the locker button on the trd offroad models. locks the rear only. nothing to do with the front. maybe they were talkin about the 4wd knob on your dash? 05+tacomas have a selectable knob on the dash to engage the 4x4...which would send power to the front wheels.?
maybe...? im lost. but i think the OP is too

 

Does not exist.... on any vehicle Toyota or not. Not only that... it wouldn't do anything to help. It'd be like when a dog drags it's ass on the ground pulling itself around with it's front legs. Unless you're wiping your tail pipe it makes no sense.

 

are you sure you actually know what this term means?
not tryin to be a dick, just really tryin to figure out what this thread is about or what your main question was

 

But guys, Its kinda like how when your driving and then you cant do it so you feel like you can and then you just go. So then you get stuck and the wheels are there but then they are not. The back slips and it seems like you are dead. But then your not because the front helped.

Don't worry OP. I got you! I think we went to the same school.

 

How can a 17 year old afford a brand new truck?
