Yah, interesting...

I am not well versed on the Tundra traction systems as I am with the Tacomas... In 2004, the only traction aid (beyond 4WD) the Tacoma had was a locking differential (only on the Off Road TRDs).

The Tacoma Sport TRD had a mechanical limited slip from 2005 to 2008.

All Tacomas from 2009 on have TRAC (a limited slip that uses the brakes to slow slipping tires).

The Tacoma Off Road TRD has had the locking rear differential for a dozen years... and since 2009 has had A-TRAC (an automatic locker-like system on the front and back ).

Thanks for the tip.... however, I gave up driving while under the influence of hallucinogens years ago after the mushrooms had me convinced lava was flowing across the highway.

All this advice and friends have me thinking full-size truck....I have 325,000 kms on a '93 2WD Sierra 350...only repairs have been fuel pumps, intake manifold crack at 300,000 km, and an alternator.....

so I have the 15 years that Woody suggested and it cost me $19,000 in '94.

Think I will look for a good used GMC/Chevy 6 speed...regular cab w/ long box 4WD.....and borrow David's Taco when I want to top the whoops in the desert ;D





Yes, David....that IS a gift from you stuck on the tailgate...:tumble:
