    Haven't gotten any solid info on this.

    I know the cosmetic/performance difference in the trim levels but are the seats the same quality/built among the 3 trims?

    Sorry for the stupid question. Thing is I've test drove the SR5 and OR and not sure if it was just me, but to me, the SR5 felt a little "softer" and more comfortable than the OR (or maybe it was the different shocks giving that perception of a harsher ride).

    In all honesty, the SR5 is enough for my needs (camping/hiking/fishing) and I'd rather save $3k and put it towards TRD tires/rims instead. But I also like the LED DRL and plastic fenders on the OR.

    Thanks!

    Pretty sure the seats are the same, just the seat covers are a bit different on the TRD trims.

    For me, the TRD was worth the extra $$ for the touch lock/unlock and the larger display on the head unit. It was also priced well and meant I didn't need to drive around with steel wheels.

    Either way you can't go wrong.

    If you're a contributing member of TW, which you are, I can't see you going with less than a Sport.

    For 3,000 more dollars, snag up the OR. I bet you'll regret going with an SR5.

    Look around for deals, found a off-road at freeman in CA for same as a sr5 in AZ. Shoot one of the dealers out here wanted 1k more for a MT then a AT in AZ as well. Right Toyota said the best they could do on one was 38, so stay clear of them.
