    Cant speak to the having a loaded truck in the first place, but it is a great option getting a basic SR and not having so much add ons which could fail later. I went 4c auto AC in mag grey and besides wanting 4x4 on the next one no complaints, been an excellent truck with 0 issues. For some people basic is better IMO

    SR with the appearance package looks great. Beautiful truck

    Also it has my favorite OEM wheels.

    The black grill bezel and color matched parts did it for me too. Way better looking than the old "work truck" SR used to be

    Around here, this is what they all look like. I have no issues with black bumper, but on the current gen SR, the black bumper goes SO FAR high up on the body, it looks disgusting .
