2018 OR vs Sport Questions

12 TRD OffRoad · Mar 17, 2018

Just buy whatever Tacoma suits your needs or blows your dress up. In the end you're still going to have the most reliable, dependable vehicle on the road. I would take an SR over a ZR2 any day and twice on Sunday!

@strktly_bodysurf You know that when you follow a thread you get email notifications of posts. I read your post that either you or the mods took down and/or replaced with your query about my tumblr.

I didn't attack you or your truck in my post, I merely explained my rational for buying the OR. I have to wonder what makes a man or woman spew such mean spirited dribble as you did against me personally, especially on a forum that is supposedly friendly and comments are supposed to be taken with a grain of salt. To attack me, my age, my status, given that I am legally disabled is an act of hatred, pure and simple and you should honestly not ever post again on this forum. You should be banned. But that is not my decision it is up to the mods to take that action.

I hold you no ill will but I will waste no more time with the likes of people like you.

Wouldn't be his first ban

Your post may not have attacked me personally, but I personally took offense to it. Before you post things YOU should think about how someone will take it...especially given your age, since we are talking about that.

Get the offroad and throw a hood w/scoop on it after if anything!

On a related note, looks like the comment that you posted that I took offense to is no longer on this thread either, so do you care to offer a response to that?

Resale. OR is more desirable down the road.

...to those who prefer the OR, that is.

Haha you people are CATEGORICALLY missing my point. First off I do have heated power mirrors, but I couldn't give a shit about any of the stuff on that list. Compare yourselves to an OR. They got options that actually mean something. you ended up with a hood scoop and a unsuited suspension for comfort or off-roading.

I know we are beating a dead horse here and I am not trying to throw gasoline on the flames and the OP checked out of here days ago...but I don't think this was articulated in all the fire bombing.

People change, usage changes and money matters!

I went looking for a Tacoma initially to use for camping trips in retirement. I pretty much just wanted to be able to get to places like the Playa in DV or the hot springs in Saline Valley. These are washboard gravel roads. I didn't want to rent an expensive 4WD to do that. Nothing else really entered my mind except for week long camping trips but using highways not the Mojave Road.

I am retired on a fixed income and money matters and I didn't want to buy truck A (the Sport) only to have to immediately modify it to meet my potential needs and spend thousands and thousands on some of the upgrades pictured in other posts above. Mortgage, medical, food and clothing come first and then a boat load of other stuff too before I start dumping money into a truck other than the 40plus thousand I had already spent.

Right away I found out the OR was the better choice because I added a shell and with that shell a couple of hundred pounds of camping gear. In a sport I would have needed, at the very least, airbags right away$$.

After 3 months I saw that my needs were changing rapidly. Invited to go off road in the Mojave I tore off the silly bed steps on the first day of the trip and was not able to go down a gnarly, steep grade (had to use the bypass) because I didn't have sliders$$.

Fast forward, at 64 years of age I do more off road driving now than I ever thought or even dreamed I would (famous last words) and have spent $$ getting the OR to where I need it to be. But at least that didn't have to include the suspension upgrades or a locker with in the first year of ownership!

So yeah, the OR needs mods too but the OR gave me two years and almost 40k on the odo before I needed a lift, or a locker, or airbags etc, etc $$.

The OR bought me time and saved me money in the short term that the sport would have cost me or I would have had to curtail my fun.

Also as an old fart with Parkinson's Disease in 2016 when I bought the truck some of the safety features and creature comforts weren't readily available or even offered on the sport or were hard to come by not mention it was nearly impossible to find a long bed in the sport.

So I love all Tacoma's even the Sport model and the yeah the scoop is cool but based on needs, at least for me, it would have been a more costly decision especially in the first few years.

I love all tacomas too. But I’m like a shitty parent who pretends not to love the middle child- I just ignore the 2nd gen.

No issues wheeling with my Sport. Just get what you want. I’m planning on re-gearing later so I’ll add a locker just to have it in case

That is a sweet Sport!

Yes

Taco Mustard · Sep 10, 2018

If you look at the sticker of the sport it comes with the “get laid package” standard. Trust me it’s in the fine print. I have 817mi on my truck and so far I have not been impressed with that particular package. May have to bring it back to the dealer to see what’s up.

ZYBORG · Sep 10, 2018

So the Sport comes with a “need help getting laid” package?

Damn.... Glad I got the Off Road “need NO help, getting laid” package....

rev25sharp · Sep 10, 2018

Must be why it's the sport trD package!
