    Hey guys, so i am a former taco owner. I am currently in a 2010 fj iceberg white locker atrac, Sub.. Anyway i have an opp to trade it for a 2015 taco 4x4. White doublecab. Entune backup camera sr5. Payment would be 30 less a month then im paying for the fj. Taco has some options fj doesnt and more comfortable. The fj however has locker and atrac wich to be honest i havnt used. I only hit trails on ocasion and its never anything crazy. Question is do u guys think the sr5 is worth the price savings vs a trd offroad? Seems like the sr5 has all options except the locker.

    **edit** trade is complete! see below!!

    you can always add an air locker down the road. the seats will be the main difference. and the obvious cosmetics.

    There is a lot more difference between the SR5 and the OR besides the locker. Here are some other options I know of that you will get with the OR, but won't get with an SR5:

    - A-Trac

    - Hydraulic Brake Assist (used for A-Trac, but makes a significant difference in regular braking also)

    - Leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter

    - Sport Seats

    - Different rims

    - Slightly better factory suspension with bilstein shocks and larger tires (265/70/16)

    - A/C Power Outlet in Bed

    After just buying a new 2015 Double Cab long bed, the short bed just looks kind of funny. Nice truck, now start with the mods
