    Hey fellas,

    Looking forward to get my hands dirty in some maintenance but need to know a couple things first that I'm having trouble figuring out.

    #1 - How do I know what Tacoma I have? 1GR-FE or 2TR-FE? It's an '07 SR5 Prerunner V6 4x2

    #2 - I bought my Tacoma with the TRD package and says it comes with Limited Slip Differential. In the owner's manual it shows a button for that but I have no button. I'm guessing that's only if you have the 4x4 or it's just automatic for mine? And how does this affect my maintenance (i.e. need special fluid or change my rear differential when it says those with limited slip)?

    Thanks for the help and I won't be a newb forever ;)

    The V6 is the 1GR-FE. If you have the LS Diff (Whicj the TRD Sport does as standard equipment in that package, while the TRD Off ROad has the locker), you can verify a sticker on the back of the diff stating it requires LS Diff Oil.

    Ok, it's the TRD Sport so it just limited slip then. Thanks so much for the help and pictures are always awesome!
