I thought the same thing until I started looking for a R&P/LSD for it. I guess the RCSB got the S-8.8

So did you already put an LSD in it and know for sure it is not 9.75?

I was lucky enough to pick up the only RCSB 5.0 on the island. I ended up trading in my loaded 2016 Tacoma for this truck and I couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, the Tacoma was perfect for the island and everyone loved it, but it just didn't have any of that ....."Fizz." At $28k, that simplicity with key engineering elements make this a truck something that I love (there aren't too many all aluminum bodied cars with manual windows). I don't know if I'll keep this truck forever, but it's the right truck for me, right now. So at a little under 30k, it was a steal.


The fun factor is for sure there, I thought about doing it myself but when I saw trucks like that for that much money, no way. I think one with nothing on, no options, still v6 is almost 27K new. Def. a smart idea to get tow package because you get the trans cooler.

Are you going to upgrade the oil pump gears like I see many mustang owners do when they go with forced induction? I wonder if you can get it below 4000lbs....

It's an s-8.8. I swapped the ring and pinion and put an LSD from the mustang IRS in it.

Not sure about the oil pump gears. That's probably a good idea.

Swapped the grill insert for an Ecoboost's to get more cool air into the heat exchanger. I'll try to grab some videos today. There isn't a lot of room in Hawaii to let her stretch her legs.
