What rear diff do I have?

[Super_Trouper]

My axle code is not listed on my compliance sticker.

I have a 2024 TRD Off-Road NON-Hybrid, Auto Trans. Do I have the 9.5" rear diff, or is it the smaller 8.2"?

Saw a post on specs from when the 4G was first released over on TW but it's a little confusing and I'm not sure if its 100% up to date.

I’m pretty sure all hybrid Tacomas and 4Runners have the 9.5 rear diff and all the non hybrid Tacomas and 4Runners have the 8.2 rear diff. Oddly enough it seems that all the new US Land Cruiser 250s only have the 8.2 rear diff even though they all have the hybrid powertrain.

ChatGPT had this to say:


The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road (non-hybrid) is equipped with an 8.75-inch rear differential. This larger differential is standard on all TRD Off-Road models, including both manual and automatic transmissions. It provides enhanced strength and durability, making it well-suited for off-road driving and heavy-duty use .tacomaworld.com+1tacomaworld.com+1tacoma4g.com+1tacomaworld.com+1


In contrast, other Tacoma trims, such as the SR5 and TRD Sport, come with a smaller 8.0-inch rear differential. The TRD Pro model, which is the top-tier off-road variant, features a 9.5-inch rear differential, offering even greater strength for extreme off-road conditions .tacomaworld.com


It's important to note that the front differential size is typically 8.0 inches across most Tacoma models, including the TRD Off-Road. However, the rear differential size varies depending on the specific model and trim level.

Alternate thread title: "Does this trim make my diff look too big?"
BTW, the manual transmission also gets the larger diff.
