How to know if a 07 tacoma is a real Trd sport

I've had a 2007 Tacoma TRD sport for a while now but I'm wondering how I know it's an actual TRD. the reason I'm wondering is because the trd badge looks different and his higher up on the side of the bed than where the usual badge is.

 

Have you tried looking up your VIN?

 

Pretty sure it would LSD on the rear diff, hoodscoop a dead giveaway. Color matched door handles, rear bumper, mirrors and grill. 17” wheels.

 

The grill and rear bumper are paint matched but the door handles are not. No scoop on the hood because it was in an accident so its on a different hood.

 

And the mirrors?

 

You could also run the VIN and go from there.

 

go to Toyota and register as an owner and look up the original build sheet
factory fog lights and the 400W inverter are part of all TRD packages I believe

 

just did it just read 2007 tacoma tacoma pre-runner so I'm assuming its not TRD

 

Prerunners can have TRD packages, I have on Off Road package Prerunner with fogs, inverter and Rear Locker factory
So a PR Sport is possible but it sounds like yo got a sticker job

 

Time to get the hair dryer ready

 

Here's a YT walk around on a 2007 TRD Sport. See if your interior matches, steering wheel, center dash features, etc

How to tell a TRD Sport

from the outside.

• Fake hood scoop on hood
• LSD sticker on rear axle (on certain years)
• “TRD Sport sticker” on left and right of the bed. Near the tail lights.
  
• Front fog lights
• Colour matched front and rear bumper, and mirrors

From the inside

• Missing “RR Diff lock” button
• Missing “DAC” button
• Has 400w inverter and button
• Has Fog Light button
• Has 3 factory blank switches on left of steering wheel. (Older years)
  
• Has VSC off button - The car driving drunk icon (newer years)
• If equipped steering wheel controls.

there is a few more nuances because of the model years but in general typically it.

Hope this helps.
