Is there anything the Sport package has that the limited does not?
Looking at an 07 limited. I will be wheeling this vehicle.

xreas was optional on the limited, standard on the sport. I can't think of much else.

Sport has shaded chrome grille & headlights, XREAS, 17" sport wheels, & hood scoop as far as I know. The '03 sports had larger brakes but I think the 06 up limiteds also had larger brakes.
If you plan on wheeling hardcore you may want to got with the sport for the smaller wheels (unless you can fit 16s on the '06 up limited) so you get more sidewall to flex (and cheaper/more diversity in tire choice).

I agree with the notion that the Hood Scoop is a main-draw to that particular model, but the XREAS suspension with a AWD V8 is a perfect combo.
One of the let-downs of the 5th gen's (IMO) is the lack of the V8 and the no XREAS on the Trail Edition, but standard on a Limited.
And before someone here chimes in with the whole "the new V6 puts out more torque" blah blah. I dont want it, thats why I didnt buy one. When they put the 4.6L from the Lexus into the Trail, i'll be the 1st one in line.
Our '03 Sport Edition has the running boards on the sides while i think 06+ have the tube-kind. I could be wrong tho.

I agree, before I bought my used limited v8, I gave the 5th gen a chance. I went back to the used v8. It is just quieter and smoother in my opinion. Even when test driving multiple 4th gens with v8s and v6s, I had to go with the v8.

Only the Sport has the larger brakes - 13.3" vs 12.6" http://www.top4runners.com/runhist/4thgen/2007specs.pdf

Many members here have the '06 up limiteds with 13.3" brakes, I believe it was a special option

Turn your wheels all the way to one side and look to see if the front struts have a bottom connection to a hydraulic line. The rear shock hydraulic connections are on the top. Also, limiteds that got the package had the rear leveler so you will have a on/off switch for that by the center arm-rest, I think.

I hope so, I've been trying to look for a conversion on my '07 Limited V8. It's strange the the specs say "Sport Only". Another point, is when I try to search for aftermarket rotors and I fill out my vehicle's info, I end up with the 12.6" part number? The sport always gives the 13.3" part number. I'll try measuring it.
