I was just trying to find an answer to a similar question. The link is dead. I'm not sure which "trim level" to select when searching for parts online. Base or pre-runner?

 

Base is a base model. That means not a TRD. Not an sr5. Not a trd sport.
Is your truck a 4x4? If yes, it's not a pre runner.

 

most likely base = 4x4 and prerunner = 2wd

 

If you have a TRD Sport, it's not a base. If you are 2wd, you have a prerunner (and it'll say that on your tailgate). Base is the lower riding truck. A prerunner is a 2wd truck that sits high like a 4wd. Yours is either a Prerunner (2wd) or 4x4.

 

The problem I find is that the aftermarket places list Base, PreRunner, X-Runner. They don't list TRD, Off-Road, or Sport. And some like Camelback list SR5 or not SR5. Well, is my Off-Road an SR5 or not an SR5?

 

yeah mine is a trd sport sr5

 

For many parts/accessories, "base" = 2WD (5 lug) and "PreRunner" = PreRunner and all 4x4 models (6 lug).

Not a hard and fast rule, but I have found that to often be the case. Probably depends on what type of part you are buying...

 

True but according to websites that offers parts "base" can mean TRD Sport/Offroad and SR5

 

It's 4x4 and TRD, so not base and not pre-runner. Those are the only two options on a lot of siites (or X-runner).

 

In my search for used Tacomas, I have not found this to be the case. There are plenty of 6-lug 4x4 base model tacomas out there.

Search autotrader and you'll see that every 4x4 is listed as "base" and then in the description it'll have the option packages listed (sometimes) or you can see what they are in the pictures.

Most of the 4x4 Tacomas I've seen do not have the TRD, sr5, towing, or convenience packages. They are "base" models, I guess, but still 4wd.

 

Just call the website your dealing with and ask directly
