06 Tacoma Diff Question #708987 03/22/06 10:56 PM

Does anyone know for a fact whether the new 06 Tacoma (TRD Off-Road) has both limited slip and locking rear diffs? I can't get a consistent answer for the dealers.

I would imagine that it's the same as '05. Limited slip for the TRD Sport and certain option packages and the e-locker for the TRD Off Road.

Just got my '06 yesterday with the off-road package - it is a locker.

Test drove an '05 with the Sport Package and was told it was limited slip for that package.

Yup - TRD off-road has locker and no limited slip, TRD sport (has hood scoop) comes with limited slip and no locker option.

Oye - one of the big reasons I got out of my 02 4runner was because of the traction control system including limited slip and no locking rear diff. I saw the traction control option of some of the TRD sports - ewww. Limited slip is cool for a rodie but the traction control is the worst off road...mud and deep snow in particular...IMHO.
