How many trail editions?

[CoosTE09]

Does anyone know how many 09 Trail editions were produced? One of those interesting useless facts I have never found.

I think somewhere around 10-15k total 09's were made so I imagine the number of TE's is less than 20% of that? You're very lucky, OP

yah, let's see some photos!

Here are some recent pictures of my Trail Edition.

In July I am taking my truck to CBI off road for them to develop a rear bumper for me with dual swing out similar to the 5th gen 4runner.

that does not say how many TEs, though.

I have a 2007 Sport Edition V8.
I retrofitted an e-locker diff in the rear axle.
So, it's a "Sport Trail Edition" ;-)

Just replaced the battery two months ago, never have had a problem with it.

Dang that would explain why 2009s are so hard to find.

Okay... here's mine...

Icon Stage 2 w/front coilovers
TC UCAs
Cooper S/T Maxx 255/85R16 PizzaCutters
SCS Ray 10s

just shy of my first 100k

i'm assuming all 4th gen TEs are 4WD, but they don't include the door badge?

Very nice!!

The TE's are pretty rare. In all my travels, I've only come across two in the wild.

Mine says trail edition on the outside of the door where other 4runner models are. Picked a silver one up recently with 88k.

Dumb question:

What's the difference between a Trail Edition and the other trim levels (SR5/Sport/Ltd)?

 

[twa318]

The Trail Edition was 09 model year only and was the only 4th gen that came with a factory e locker. Why Toyota waited until the very last MY to offer an e locker is anyone's guess

 

[JLRSR5]

Didn't they ever make any trail editions with the V8?

 

[gm350reratliff]

No, V6 only. A V8 TE would be badass though!

Which e locker did you grab? Did you get full rear axle or just the locker? After market wire harness to engage? Does it affect ATRAC? I'm very interested in doing mine.

The 05+ tacoma elocker works great. I have one installed. As long as its not engaged, ATRAC works normal. On an obstacle it works great because the ATRAC only plays with the front wheels while the rear wheels never engage the traction control.
