    I have a 2010, and I always thought the 2011 headlights and grille looked different that mine...

    I'm more curious about it ended up in Japan, and how hard it would be to get it back stateside and convert the Japanese title to one from any of the fifty US states...

    Just realized yours is a base. Led tail lights were an upgrade for the TRD at the time.

    That Tacoma also doesn’t have an auto lsd button. Which, I believe would make it 05-08. Probably a mechanical LSD in the rear diff. It has the inverter button for the bed outlet, which should indicate it’s a TRD. No bed stickers, but has hood scoop and no rear locker button. TRD Sport

    Did 5-lug RC Tacomas have a mechanical LSD prior to 2009?
