Rear lockers and crawl control are basically NOT needed for the average driver. 90 percent of tacomas are driven on payment. And for that task the sport is best suited.
It depends. If it was a mechanical locker like the Eaton in GM trucks, it would get used more. I ordered a Tacoma to replace my Sierra. Right now, if one rear wheel spins, the mechanical locker engages and both wheel spins. In the snow, wet grass, etc, it's sometimes enough to not have to reach for the 4x4 lever (yes my truck has a transfer case shifter, not a switch). The Eaton locker and the transfer case shifter are the only things I'll miss from that truck though. I ordered a TRD Offroad, I hope it's not like my '12 Xterra, could only use the locker in 4-Low. Lockers can be use in high or low range, as long as it's slow.
lol. I drove a wrx sti for 25 years.. I gots to have a hood scoop. And yes they do look good on the Tacoma. Without it looks weird to me?.. I’m only taking my taco sports to Costco or work so no need for that crawl Control or crazy off roading aid.. so far I’m loving my sports .. 👍🏼
Great review! I opted for the TRD Off Road because it’s not much more expensive and you actually get a better ride on the road because the TRD Sport’s suspension is stiffer and because it doesn’t have the rear axle locker. Off roading of course is much better in the TRD Off road. It sits a little higher than the Sport and has all terrain tires on the 17 inch wheels rather than the road tires on the 18 inch wheels. I really need the extra height, the skid plates and rear locker for the amount of snow I get in Wyoming. Also the hood scoop on the Sport model interferes with your vision although less so than my 2021 TRD Sport. The last point is the under vehicle view with the Multi-Terrain camera view on the Off Road.
Yes I love and must have the sport my problem is color I'm more conservative and usually pic brown ,blue , or grey however I'm playing around about a bold color like red or even orange Hows the orange going over?? Please help !
I will say having lockers is better than not. I’ve used them in my bronco plenty of times to get out of stuff. Atleast get a rear locker if u can’t front
I still dont understand the difference between PVM vs MTM camera systems between the two models. Does the offroads version of MTM offer the same 360 view with just more features? Both triggered at low speeds?
@quickreviewhd4986 MTM is the same as PVM but with more features where you can see close to wheel wells ect. Its for off roading where you're not sure of clearance. Here is a youtube video explaining and showing you the difference. ua-cam.com/video/HfLhjtba9Fk/v-deo.html
the price difference in Canada is only $600 for stock off road vs sport. Premium is only $200 difference. If you are trying to save $600 you shouldn't be buying this truck tbh. $600 shouldn't make a difference when you are spending $50,000-$58,350 CAD.
You explained everything very well. Thank you very much. This is the best video. I have watched so far on the Toyota Tacoma’s, 2024.
Thank you this is the most helpful video I have found!

Couldn't agree more. I just bought a 2024 TRD Sport 6 speed manual in Solar Octane. It won't see off road, my Yamaha Grizzly fills that need!
@@fenderboy68 I just bought the 2024 TRD Sport 6 speed manual 4wd in blue crush metallic - it is a dream truck - upgrading from 2006 Tundra

Totally Team Hood Scoop. Dig the Off-Road, but i would probably go with the Sport in 4x4. Yet, still need to see all the TRD Pro information.
I specifically bought my trd sport for the hood scoop. I don't care that it's non functional I like how it looks

@@noxnyc23 what year is yours
TRD offroad does not come with the air compressor. TRD Trail Hunter, yes.
I’m a fan of the black contrast fenders and door handles
Is it possible to change out the hood in off road for the sport's hood?
Yes direct swap

A very good review and explanation.
Thanks!

I want the sport, but I like the look of the off road better

I want the hood scoop on the TRD off road. Can I aftermarket it?
Hood scoop all day,bro!
Off-road 4x4 vs sport 4x4has different suspension ?
Yes the off road has bilstein suspension the sport does not

TOO EXPENSIVE for a MEXICAN made vehicle.
Sport is is seriously Lacking!
