locking diff not avail. on quad cab long bed?

So im looking to get into a 2011/2012 taco .
I want a quad cab/long bed.

After searching on the toyota site, and the build your option and etc.

The "TRD Off-Road Package" is not available on the long bed quad, which means no locking rear diff...

Is this acurate? of just a online mistake

That's correct.
Just add an ARB to the sport long bed rear diff. It'll be a stronger option in the long run.

Long beds are "sport" packages. They come with a limited slip type diff.

After doing some more research Ill settle with just LSD , im also debating whether I realy need the long bed . But I think I do. I dont plan on doing any " hardcore" wheelin to need the locker Its more of a wish full want.

My next question, what year did toyota put LSD in the tacomas, or do all 05+ have it ?

No Tacoma has had a true LSD since 2009. All Tacomas newer than that use a brake-based "Auto LSD", which helps, but isn't a replacement for a true LSD or locker. Maybe the TRD Off-Road package can be special ordered?
