difference between Sport and SR5 models

I honestly never use it, but its comforting knowing I have another option there. The one time I was the most stuck 4lo ect and some serious right foot got me out. I thought I for sure was going to bust something since 75% of my front passenger was buried in sticky mud, but the truck proved to me and my friend why its the #1 seller and neither the ranger nor the colorado are gonna beat it.

 

Who needs crawl control when manly bravado will do the trick!?

Honestly, thats my sell on crawl control. I dont get the rock crawling stuff here....but have you ever tried to drive through a wet grass field? Slick grass and soft dirt become an issue real fast.

 

The sr5 is for pool guys, gardeners, and exterminators

 

My biggest problem so far, atleast when I had stock tires, was that supper slippery wet cakey mud and the ruts where tractor and f250 with 35s frequented. Once my stock tire had ~55K miles on em I could even go over a puddle. Now with my wildpeaks I havent much trouble, and when I encounter terrains like you mentioned I wont have trouble.

 

@Toyo4x4OG has a beast of an SR5. You should see it in action. Aint no exterminator gonna be climbing steep ass hills

 

Meant the non 4x4 option sr5.

 

They have their place. If I lived in place Id never take it off pavement and didnt get snow, they make a lot of sense.

Guy who works at the local Lowe’s has a 2013ish sr5 2x4, dcsb - its on steelies, pretty sure its the 2.7. Its cherry clean. For a home owner who needs a pick up bed and pavement only, why not?

 

Oh...yeah. I see em all the time btw. I think they're the SR tho not SR5. Black plastic bumpers, cab and half (more like 2"), plastic hubs instead of rims.

 

Pool guy here

 

now a 2.7 with aggressive gears, 4x4, and shorter wheel base would make for an interesting OR vehicle

 

The guys that do my pool have rangers

 

Most of the fleet trucks are the sr.
I have the sr5 2wd non off road, non 4wd.
I have taken it off pavement and it does pretty well, but definitely has its limitations.

 

I had 2 of those prior to my tacomas.
They dont last long enough to pay themselves off is the problem

 

When I was shopping, I think there was only like a $400 difference between the Sport and SR5. I test drove both and the Sport was smoother on the street over bumps. Sport Manual FTW.

 

The Off Road Manual gets the A-TRAC System in place of Crawl Control.

 

Ha, touche.

 

Yea, I just didnt see that being a big point for me. Color match was worth more points.

 

If the SR5 had a 4-door MT v-6 with 8.75" 4.10 ratio rear - I would be in one.
