SR5 vs TRD Sport

A-Trac is for 4wd-Lo going 5 mph in heavy off road environment. The only perk for regular driver is if you were stuck and needed to get out of snow or something. All Tacoma models are so capable you won't miss it.

 

I hear you my friend. Thanks for all the info. You have been a lot of help. What color are you planning to get ? The only thing I expect is the manual to be better that the 2nd gen. I have heard it has not been such a good transmission

 

There is another thread for review of the new manual tranny with Mike Sweers video, but no official reviews yet: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/any-reviews-on-the-manual-transmission.388143/

In short the new manual trans should be greatly improved over the previous gen. Mike Sweer's the chief engineer prefers a manual transmission and he had nothing but good things to say about it.

MGM=Magnetic Gray Metallic

 

Great I'm getting the same color when my time comes. Post some pics when you get yours

 

Will do, I think the MGM will look good on all available models.

Cheers

 

The sport also has a front air dam where the OR does not.

 

That's true. I tend to forget because if I bought a model with the air dam it would be the first thing to come off.

 

I would personally take that off as well

 

They look amazing on anything. They make the truck lighting look like it's from this century.

 

Can that be done easily (say, in an hour or two at home with conventional tools) or is it involved?

 

Oh sorry.. on my phone.. cant see that part.. sorry

 

I think I read its held on by a five or six screws. Shouldnt be difficult.

 

I'm not exactly sure how they are attached on the tacoma, but air dams are usually 2-4 small bolts. I read in another thread that they are easily removable. I'm sure you could do it in 20 minutes or less with a set of wrenches.

 

I saw a Tacoma at the Auto show. All you need is a #2 Philips screwdriver and remove 8 screws underneath. Not hard to get at all.

 

What packages have an outside temperature gauge?

 

SR5, TRD's, and Limited

 

I think most people remove it anyway.

 

Did you know that this thread is almost seven years old...?

 

I did.

 

Looks like from the vehicle info in the profile, the OP got a Sport 7 years ago.
