    Just picked up a trd sport with all the pro goodies already installed!

    Whatre some advantages and disadvantages of having the pro upgrades on a sport model compared to the offroad. I know some key differences is the locked diff and a trac system.

    I was thinking less assisted tech leaves more room for the driving experience, more room for error, but possibly more control in situations 4x4 is necessary?

    Hope that was clear and would like some input.

    Truck will be used for fishing, camping, snowboarding trips so it'll see its fair share of off roading.
