Hey i was just wondering what the difference between a TRD 4runner and a normal one was.

 

No such thing as a TRD 4runner....just Tacoma and Tundra.

 

are you sure because ive seen a few before

 

the stickers mighta just been added by the owner.

 

i got TRD stickers, but Toyota does not offer a TRD Package for the 4Runners.

 

Actually....there are certified TRD Toyota dealerships. We have one here in Phoenix. There are about a dozen dealerships in town but only one is TRD certified. They sell TRD 4 Runners. They are equipt with all the TRD goodies and one hell of a mark-up sticker on them. I checked them out when I was looking for mine. I know awhile back, TRD listed the certified dealerships on their website. These TRD 4 Runners are all dealer installed options. Not from the motherland.

 

Everyone is correct. No such thing as a TRD package on the Runner. I have sorta made my 2nd Gen into one. The TRD Taco comes with 16" wheels, fender flares, Bilsteins, and the Rear Locker. That's about it. Oh ya and a cool Decal!

 

the TRD package and rear locker are seperate options, just becuase you have one doesnt mean you have the other.

 

Ya I was thinking that.. Now that I think about it my buddies TRD taco didn't have a locker. All the other stuff you get though.

 

One of the dealerships here is also TRD certified ans they have the phattest rides in town, these rides are the talk of the town. I have seen 3rd gen. 4Runners and Tacomas with TRD superchargers pre-installed, a special interior trim (dash kit) with leather seats displaying a TRD Luxury Sport logo, TRD air filter and exhaust, TRD tranny cooler, some with TRD headers, TRD floormats, and exterior TRD badging. I have also seen Sequoias and Tundras with similar packages, TRD supercharger pre-installed, again, the TRD Luxury Sport leather seats, unique dash trim, TRD Dual exhaust and air filter, TRD Tranny cooler, and some even with 18-20 inch wheels, and of course no SR5 or Limited badging, just TRD and Supercharged badges everywhere. Now I dont know if you can call these TRD from the fatory because I dont know where they install all these TRD parts, factory, port or dealer but they are heavily equipped with TRD products. Oh, and you better have a deep pocket to buy these, they are not cheap at all!

 

Dealer installed TRD Packages... I will be that those cost an arm and a leg! They probably charge labor for installing the "TRD floormats"

 

Pfdaxe is right, Ive seen a couple, they looked/ran sweet but cost upwards 40-45K.

 

Don't forget about 4 wheel anti-lock brakes. If I remember correctly, I couldn't get the anti-lock, without getting the TRD Off-Road package. It was actually a pretty good deal. Under $2000 for the wheels, tires, suspention, locker, and anti-lock. You couldn't add all that stuff to the truck for anywhere near that kind of money.

 

Actually, for 2003 year model, I believe ALL Tacomas come with standard ABS(anti-lock brakes), with EBD(electronic brakeforce distribution), and BA(brake assist). As for 2002, I didnt know you had to get the TRD package to get ABS.

 

My TRD rims:

 

I have a 90 4runner, that will have 99taco trd rims, hence the screen name. you can make it you own trd package.
