Sr5

May be a dumb question... but if a Tacoma has SR5 on the back what does that mean??

 

aaannndd Hammond - what does it entail?

 

What is the SR5 Package??

 

It's an option package. A step up from base model... straight from Toyota website for the Tacoma:

SR5 Extra Value Package (SE) - (cost savings of $400) -- CFC-free air conditioner with cabin air filter, chrome grille surround & rear bumper, color-keyed front bumper and overfenders, sliding rear window, metallic-tone instrument panel trim, variable speed wipers, sun visors with mirrors and extenders, SR5 badging

SR5 Extra Value Package (SL) - (cost savings of $950) -- Remote keyless entry, cruise control, variable-speed wipers, chrome grille surround and rear bumper, color-keyed front bumper & overfenders (PreRunner and 4x4 models), fog lamps (V6 models), sliding rear window with privacy glass, metallic-tone instrument panel trim, leather steering wheel with audio controls & shifter (A/T models only), sun visors with mirrors and extenders, backup camera and auto-dimming inside mirror with monitor, SR5

 

no no, Hammond has this.

 

It is a good question. I'd like to hear the answer for this too. I think it may just signify a certain "package" option for the Tacoma. But what does the SR5 stand for??

 

Your right

 

sport rally 5 speed on a 6 speed manual?

 

I had heard from a dealer when I bought my '85 4-Runner that SR5 literally meant, "Soft-Ride, 5 Speed". It is an older term that has hung on, stemming from a more plush interior, different suspension, and gadgetry features. My 4-Runner had an altimiter and an inclinometer.
But....then again, the sales manager may have been BSing me and didn't know himself.

 

He was bs'n you. Sport Rally 5 speed. I looked it up one day.

 

And this is just what's available right now. It changes over the years even with the 2nd Gen Tacoma. For instance, most of the SR5 packages sold in my area included the same wheels as the TRD OR. And, they all included the limited slip differential. That was all part of the SR5 package option that came on mine back in '05.

So what's in the package this year may be different than last year or next year.

Thanks for squaring me away!

 

Not so sure now. How about this?

2.5 - What does SR5 mean anyways ? (Toyota Historical Background)

In the latter part of the 1970's, the SR5 connotation denoted an option code
for the HiLux series of trucks, similar to what the Z71 option code currently
means for an upgraded Chevy or GMC pickup or Tahoe/Yukon. Originally released
around 1975, the 'S' denoted Sport, 'R' denoted the RN motor code, and '5'
denoted the 5-speed transmission. It quickly caught on and the SR5 connotation
passed onto the Corolla and then onto other Toyota car models. Even though the
HiLux name was dropped in 1979 for the United States market, it is still used
today elsewhere in the world as the name for a Tacoma-like pickup and/or the
4Runner, depending on the market.

Note: Some other historical information shows that the Corolla had the "SR5"
designation first, then it was passed on to the HiLux series. The majority of
historical information seems to promote the HiLux first, then the Corolla,
rather than vice-versa.

Today, the SR5 generally denotes a specifc Toyota trim level, with a more
sporty look and wide flexibility for options.
