Having just bought my Tundra 4x2 , I never got a chance to crawl under it (using my creeper) to check the greasy side to locate all the zerk fittings. I posted the question to the forum asking members for their input and felt afterwards that it was dumb of me to have asked that question.I finally did some checking on my own.

Anyway, after starting from under the front end and wheeling myself to the rear shaft U-joints immediately to the rear axle, I found...none! No zerk fittings at all! I really expected to find a few grease fittings on the front end upper/lower ball joints etc; but was surprised to find none whatsoever! All the grease fittings were of the sealed type.I read somewhere that Tacomas have all sealed grease fittings too (?)

I'm not too crazy about sealed fittings. Usually the joint or support arms fail without any warning which can cause a lot of damage when you are driving.I have witnessed sealed bearings
disentigrate to powder at high speeds, especially needle bearings. I wonder what Toyota's design engineers were thinking when they chose this route? It is too early to tell but I'm hoping the sealed fittings will last a while.
