    Hello,
    My name is Gabriel and live in BC, Canada. I am looking to buy my first Tacoma and I am split between the SR4x4 and TRD4x4 model. I was wondering if Crawl Control + Multi-Terrain Select and Locking Rear Differential are worth paying extra $5K (Canadian). I will do light off-roading when I am trying to get to the fishing lakes around my area. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello Gabriel
    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    Not worth it
    Don't need it
    Won't use it if you get it free
    Downright dangerous on ice/snow/clear road conditions
    If you can drive a 4x4 you won't like electronic Nannies doing it wrong for you.

    Thank you so much for your great input. This is very helpful. Cannot wait to get my first Tacoma. I am moving to the interior of BC, Canada in the summer. I know for a fact that I need a new truck. Tacoma is my top priority on the list. There are no other trucks that can satisfy my needs. Thank you again for your help.
