The newer ones I know have rack & pinion. 2001 has it and I assume newer has it also. Look underneath and you can see the tie rods coming directly out of the rack. On the older type the tie rods go to the drag link.

I think '00 was first year for R&P in the 4x4, but not sure...

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Follow the steering on down to where it ends. If what's down there is squarish and about as big as a shoe box, it's not R&P.

If what it connects to is horizontal, roundish, and about 2.5-3 feet long with rubber accordian boots on both ends, it's R&P.
