been kinda looking around at Tacomas (in the 2010ish range, give/take a couple yrs). 4-door, 4WD.
question is.....what is the difference in a standard, stripped down 4wd, vs a 4wd with the TRD package?
I don't want/need all the fancy bells/whistles inside, and I'd prefer a manual trans. so what does the more expensive TRD versions have that a regular 4wd doesn't have?

I will say, however, that finding a 4-door, 4wd, manual Non-TRD Tacoma is apparently not an easy task...

You will have a hard time finding a 4dr manual. They only make them special order if I remember right.

I wish you could special order vehicles top-to-bottom like 30-40yrs ago...
I'd love a 4-door Tacoma, 4wd with manual trans, manual transfer case and manual hubs.........but such a creature does not exist (at least not from the factory)

I think the z71 package is shocks/skids/maybe different gearing?/along with decals....

manual transfer case would be my biggest "want", but I know it's not an option on the newer ones.
stupid electronic "shift on the fly" 4wd is what's causing me so much grief in my F150 right now...
I'd like to know who the first idiot was to sit in a board room meeting and say "Hey, let's take this feature that's sole purpose is to be used in mud/water/snow/ice, and make it all electric" and I'd like to kick that chit-for-brains right square in the nuts.

To me only true 4wd is lockers in both ends, far as I know nothing comes with lockers in both ends anymore. Jeep Rubicon is the only one that I know of.

locked rear diff with limited slip front is sufficient for pretty much anything the average person gets into...
unless you're doing super nasty thick mud or you're doing rock crawling, you really don't need a locked front diff.
in fact, that's a good way to tear stuff up if you're not careful
