    What differences are you specifically looking for? When you purchased the sport were you just trying to save a little more money and don't really need the 4x4? I would test drive one and see if it's worth upgrading. Keep in mind you'll lose about 3 to 5k on the trade. My suggestion: drive one for a day or 2 and see if you like it. If you can swing it, by all means get one, especially the m/t

    I seldom need 4x4, but when I do, it's there. Will you ever need 4wd?

    Add a poll:
    Keep it
    Trade it
    End the poll at a specified time, like Friday at 11:59pm
    However, be forewarned: whatever the members of TW decide for you, you must do it.....
    Hope it works out for you

    Like, so many.
    Take a real honest assessment of your needs and how you think you'll use the truck. Then be honest about your financial situation. If something isn't a good deal for you, then it isn't a good deal.
    For me, I've owned trucks in the past and they were 2WD. They worked just fine for my needs. My Taco is 4WD just because I wanted that option. I didn't expect to use it much. Then it turns out I enjoy off roading. So for me, 4WD is worth it.

    If you have to ask whether or not you need it, you probably don't.

    If you use your Taco, get stuck all the time, and think 4wd is the solution, then you wouldn't even ask -- you'd just do it.

    If you don't need 4x4 then don't trade it and if you needed it then you probably would have gotten it the first time around.

    So don't do it.

    Adding a winch up front would be cheaper than depreciation!
