I don't know if my truck is rare, it is a 4x4 2009 TRD sport regular cab, it has a 5 speed and a 2.7 i4.
Is my truck rare?

Single cabs never came from the factory as a Sport. Someone but stickers on it.

All 2009 and up Tacomas have ALSD. It works with the brakes instead of being mechanical like the 05 to 08 V6 Sports and V6 SR5s. You either have a base or SR5 since that's all single cabs got.

I know they make a TRD single cab because when I found the loan value of it, they had the option from the factory to be a TRD, my truck is a TRD says it on the title

They sold you a fake truck.

Well I bought it from a Toyota dealership and I still have full warranty, and I didn't know the dealer could alter the title? Lol

They don't call them stealerships for no reason and no one at the dealer knows anything about what they sell. It's up to the buyer (you) to do research before making the purchase.
The TRD sport includes the a color matched grill, fake hood scoop, color matched rear bumper, color matched grill surround, sport bucket seats, usually a tow package, color matched mirrors, color matched door handles, 17" wheels, thicker from sway bar and Bilstein shocks.

You have a fake LSD which works through the brakes. Overheat the brakes and you have open diffs.
Look on TW for the yellow wire mod so you get that function in 4wd low.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? When I'm in 4low, 4high, or 2wd I have no traction control if that's what you are talking about

You basically have open diffs. The ECU uses the brakes to slow down the wheel without traction so the power is transferred to the wheel with traction. That function doesn't work in 4wd low so you can mod the truck so it works in low range. You do have it in 4wd high though.

It doesn't just slow the whole truck down and the system isn't that great especially with the non offroad package system.
All 09 and up trucks have it like I said earlier. My 2010 has the same thing but I have the offroad package so I have the rear locker and ATRAC.

09 and up is all open. Are you hitting the button or anything?
Here's what the TRD Sport sticker looks like:

I don't have to hit the button, maybe my system is broke, but I've put it in 2wd and burned tires down with no buttons pressed

You should have a light on the dash when you have tire slip. Left side arrow but it's hard to see because of the bad pic:
Pushing and letting go of the button would give you an ALSD light and a TRAC off light (until 30mph):
Pushing and holding the VSC button for 5 seconds while stopped will turn it all off.
