    Looking at 2 used Tacoma 4x4's..... One's TRD Off Road, the other is TRD Sport. What are the main differences differences between the two ?

    To add, I definitely don't like the scoop on the Sport.

    I just figured out what doesn't add up actually= i'm dumb. I've gone and smoked myself stupid I guess, the rear decal says sport, not off-road. Sorry about that.
