    So I am new to the Tacoma world. I got my truck about 6 months ago. I was told it is an TRD off road. There was an SR5 badge behind the back doors and a TRD decal on the bed. I thought those were 2 different models. Is it possible to be both??truck.jpg
    How do I tell what I have? I contacted the Toyota dealer and they said i needed to bring the truck into them, they couldn't run the VIN for me.... I ended up taking all the badges off, but I want to know if I got taken when I got this truck.

    Do you have Crawl Control/MTS? Only off-road and pro have it.

    Lotta people like the faux hood scope and change it out.

    Radio knobs will probably answer this. Thread moving quickly now... Are your radio knobs on the top or bottom?
