Final Purchase Help - Sport or OR

This is what happens when you don’t pay enough attention to your offspring. They crave attention from random strangers on the internet.

 

Lots of people tear on the rear drums. But they are simpler and effective

 

Yes! You got it! You get a double shot!

 

At least you are thinking now.

 

Sweerssweerssweerssweerssweers like that?

 

Hey guys just kidding. I bought a limited sr5 Ridgeline

 

Exactly.

 

You should have bought the ZR2 edition. You are going to regret that my friend.

 

Ejewels - are you still debating between the Sport and OR?

If so, have you listed the pros and features of each trim?

Trd offroad:
Larger rear diff
Rear locker
Crawl control
Multi terrain select
Better brakes
Better off road capability

Trd sport:
Hood scoop
Better mpg....front diffuser
Color matched fenders
Better road manners...handling.

All of this has been mentioned in this thread, and then some.

The sport will handle better, but that's a moot point if you start tinkering with a lift. Obviously the sport looks better to you, which you mentioned is one of the more significant deciding factors. The off road takes the cake in regards to functional options, but you already know this.

You need to test drive both, if you haven't done that aready.

 

Not sure if serious. And the MT sport has same size rear diff as OR.

 

I’ve invested a lot of time in this thread

As does the SR Manual.

 

Haha...Look at it as a very generic recap.

If the off road has better brakes than the sport; does that change your decision on the sport?

 

Not better. Just set up for the off road's options.

 

Of course not. Was just wondering the real world differences.

 

Very happy with my Sport, I liked the aesthetics of the sport (color matched bumpers & fender flares). I tried to be realistic on how & where I use my truck. A part of me wanted to get caught up in the hype of the OR & cool factor of crawl control & a locker, but I knew that I’d never really use it. Just remember it’s a Toyota it’s already more capable than most other brands right off the showroom floor. Good luck!

Now you are trolling the OR people. There's no need to call someone's baby ugly.
