    You can always tell from the 4th digit of the vin. For the Tacoma it is:

    P = STD Cab 1/2 Ton 4WD
    U = Extra Cab/Access 4WD
    L = Double Cab 4WD
    M = Double Cab 4WD

    It hasn't impressed me too much yet. I got my truck from the factory with a misaligned bed. Two inches off for that matter.


    As for your truck, that is pretty odd that nobody noticed the pre-runner emblems.

    Honestly, I can give a shit if says PreRunner or not...I had never heard of a 4x4 PreRunner, and when the saleman called me and told me they just got it in he said it's a PreRunner 4x4 and I asked him what the hell is that, and if he was sure it's a 4x4 before I drove nearly an hour to see it.

    you should probably check the VIN on your truck and make sure it matches what that sticker says.

    and check the VIN on the tailgate, maybe it was damaged and they replaced it with a tailgate from a prerunner.

    I checked the VIN on the truck to the sticker before I even started haggling price, never checked the VIN on the tailgate, didn't know there was one.

    That's where it was, thanks. Matches the sticker, so somebody screwed up at the factory apparently.
