I did the build and price and to my amazement, the long bed was only $500 more. BUT it doesn't have the "off road" package available, it only has the sport package.

Is it just me, or does that thing look like it's lost some ground clearance?
From the website... 4x4 clearance: 9.5/9.4". I coulda sworn the older models had more.

FWIW... I'm taking a long bed d-cab TRD Sport (V6, auto tranny) for a few hours tomorrow - if you have any specific questions, let me know.

I like it oveall but I am just not crazy about the fender flare look. It's allso too big for my purposes. I'm not sure if it will be as competitive as the old tocoma since it is jumping up into the highly competitive mid size market rather than the more compact market. They are trying to take on Ford and GM I supose. We will see how it works out.

OK then, how about listing the make/model of tire that comes with the Sport Package?

I think the fender flares look like the ones on a Chevy Colorado.

Tires are Dunlop GrandTrek AT20 (rated a M+S, but now way they'd survive a northeast winter) in P265/65-17

The tow package is easy to get on almost any model/trim level. I don't much care about anything else at this point.

I stopped by the dealer the other night and he wrote a few things down for me... As I see on the Toyota website, when I go to build a Tacoma DC 4x4, I have only 2 options for packages. This is what they are on the website and prices:
Option Combination #A $3,695
- 50 state emissions(FE)
- OffRoad Package #1 w/Tow Hitch(OG)
Option Combination #B $3,870
- 50 state emissions(FE)
- Sport Package #1 w/Tow Hitch includes: Cruise Control,17" Aluminum Wheels w/P265/65R17 Tires,Sport 4 Way Manual Front Seats,2 115V Accessory Outlets, Limited Slip Differential And Diff Lock,Front Fog Lamps,Color-Keyed Power Outside Mirrors, Tow Hitch,Sliding Rear Window w/Privacy Glass(PT)
All for A DC Short Box.... DC Longbox they only give 1 option. Also, the PDA Brochure is not up and running yet so I can not check there.
The one I priced out was a DC 4x4 with these packages:
SR5 Package #2 (SL) -- Convenience Package #1 plus chrome grille surround and rear bumper, color-keyed front bumper and overfenders, metallic-tone instrument panel trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, variable intermittent windshield wipers, sun visors with sliding extensions and vanity mirror, and SR5 badging and upgraded seat fabric and driver’s seat with lumbar support (4-cylinder models)
SR5 Package #3 (SN) -- SR5 Package #2 plus fog lamps (V6 models)
Convenience Package #1 (CP) -- power windows/door locks/outside mirrors, remote keyless entry system, cruise control and sliding rear window with privacy glass
Steel Styled Rims also.
MSRP was $26,460 I believe...... I think floor mats were in there also for $130.00
Yup, no skip plates of off road suspension or limited slip....
