    The online vin decoders don't seem to specify.

    Would you be able to tell that easily from the vin? The issue is the toyota hawaii site doesn't specify if a truck is offroad or sport and doesn't list the locking diff and/or Bilstein shocks in the included options.

    Buttons... you will have buttons unlike other truck buttons on the dash. Look for the buttons, but don't touch the buttons. Buttons go boom.

    Yeah I am aware of the visual differences. Unfortunately the site has no pictures of the vehicles.

    Exactly my desired configuration has been hard to find and it's a pain to call the dealer everytime to clarify.

    Thanks all for helping me out!

    I think that's an SR5. I've been wrong before...

    Yeah its totally possible. I almost don't trust the options listed. The site is terrible that's why I was hoping for the vin to tell me.

    The options and price say SR5 to me... The wheels are also 16"SR Wheels sooo.... Unless it's an offroad, which it clearly isn't, I think that only leaves the SR with those options

    No I have a deposit on a offroad but have been waiting for over 3 months. So I like to search the site to keep up with inventory in case my configuration in a different color shows up.

    There no way that's a sport with 16" wheels, right?
