Wow that's a stump puller with 4.3 gears that has a rear locker too doesn't it?

No rear locker or LSD in the Tundras starting in 2007 with the redesign, traction is managed through the traction control systems (unless you shut it off). A step down in a way from the Taco for me since the Taco has the Rear E-locker (but no traction control). In 6 years, and 6 long trips west (some with trailer some not) and launching a boat all winter duck hunting and clamming, I have never engaged the rear locker (I ahve used it in yard for stump pulling). This truck won't be near fun in the rough stuff as the Taco, anyway, given the width and length increase.

Oh OK I thought all the TRD's had locker's guess it's only the Tacoma's. My Tacoma has the traction system also it does work. I agree with you about the size I wish my new Tacoma was the same size as my old one (97) but with the 4L and the 6 speed. I have a friend with an early Tundra and it's only slightly bigger then my 2011 Tacoma.

Yep, Tacomas and FJs still have lockers as options in the TRDs.
