4x2 verses rwd tacoma

I recently bought a new 2020 Tacoma SR access model and was told by the dealer that my vehicle was a 4x2 vice rwd. I don't understand what the difference is. Please explain if you can.

 

It's the same thing

 

if that is the case why does Toyota sell them at two different prices.

 

A 4x2 aka a 2wd Tacoma is a rear wheel drive only Tacoma.

A 4x4 Tacoma can be either 4x2 or 4x4. So naturally the 4x4 variation is more expensive.

 

According to your sig you have the sr which is their "lowest" base model.

There is also the sr5 and the trd sport and trd off road which also come in both rwd (4x2) and the 4x4 configuration

The pro model (highest and most expensive) only comes with a 4x4 configuration

And as eonblue mentioned the 4x4 models are part time 4wd (stays in 2wd until you put it in 4wd)

 

Is yours a 4 cyl or V6?

 

If the dealer told you that a 4x2 Tacoma is somehow different than a rear wheel drive one then that dealer had no clue what he/she was talking about, which is unsurprising.
I had a salesman once tell me that the auto transmissions with sport shifting mode were no different than the manual transmissions. They'll say whatever they think is smart to encourage a sale.

 

so basicely I have a rwd vehicle.

 

yes. Is this the truck model you wanted?

 

Not referring to a locker or anything?

 

Yes, the 4x2 SR is rwd

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome aboard

 

Welcome!

 

The term 4x2 is probably the most confusing thing to someone new to Tacoma’s. Never made any sense why they just don’t call them RWD
