E locker = large diff. No locker = small diff.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

L4 5MT: 8.8" 3.91:1 without Locker
L4 6AT: 8.0" 4.30:1 without Locker

V6 6MT Except TRD Off-Road: 8.8" 4.30:1 without Locker
V6 6MT TRD Off-Road: 8.8" 4.30:1 with Locker

V6 6AT Except TRD Off-Road: 8.0" 3.91:1 without Locker
V6 6AT TRD Off-Road: 8.8" 3.91:1 with Locker

In short: All manual transmission models have the 8.8" differential (even the 2.7). For automatic transmission models, only the TRD OR gets the 8.8" diff, all other automatic transmission models have the 8.0" diff.

Thanks for the info. So your saying my truck has 4.30 gearing? What gearing would you suggest i put in it then. I thought it came with the 3.91 gears but if it 4.30 Should i do the 4.88 or bigger? i only plan on putting 33" tires on it as i only use it for camping but i take alot of gear with me and we go back country camping?

Looking at your avatar it appears you have a double cab long bed. Which leads me to believe you have an automatic. You are in Canada though and I can't remember if the DCLB was available in a manual in Canada.

edit: checked your profile. You have 3.91 gears in the automatic. If you plan to stay 33" tires with minimal weight than go 4.88.

Ok sounds good thank you.

Is an 8.8 considered to be much stronger than the 8"

It is. How much and whether it will matter for individual users is debatable.
