SR vs. SR5

Hi all:

What is the difference between those two?

 

Very little nowadays. Its mostly appearance and headunit related. If I were buying a new one this year i'd just get an SR with one of the new appearance packages that makes it look badass. I think the only real difference is intermittent wipers and cruise control although maybe thats not the case anymore.

 

Price

 

The '5'.

 

No fog lights in the SR

 

Isn't the the SR a 4 banger, and an SR5 a V6?

 

My new SR did not come with fog lights or intermittent wipers. But I put them both on as soon as I could! Along with a bed mat and key less entry. You know, the stuff you would find on a normal truck.
Even though it didn't come with all the extras, I still love it and can afford it.

 

SR5 was a 5 speed manual.

 

It was back in the day, but 2016-2017 the SR offered a 5spd with the 4cyl and the SR5 had no manual option.

There are no new 5spd manual Tacomas, only 6spd manual TRDs.

 

Once you add the SX package with option to the SR, there's a $1,735 difference in MSRP compared to the SR5. ( both configured V6 automatic 4 wheel drive)
The package adds $800 to the cost of the SR, but you get the keyless entry, black alloy rims, black mirrors, door handles, and fender flares.

You do not have intermittent wipers or fog lights. And apparently the only interior color is gray..... which is why I got the silver exterior.

Added the fogs,Rigid industries, better than factory for around $250
Wiper mod is under $100

I just thought it was a better deal

BTW...I have adaptive cruise...not sure if that is standard across the line or was part of the SX package

 

It may have been that way at some point but not any longer.

 

Toyota safety sense(includes adaptive cruise control) is standard across the line.

 

SR: no intermittent wipers, no fogs, no fender flares (unless SX), steel wheels (unless SX), TSS

SR5: alloy wheels, fender flares, fogs, intermittent wipers, TSS

 

One typically has Ecolab or Terminix logos the other doesn't

 

That was sarcasm.

 

$$22,400 for my SR. Looking to make it last 400,000 k miles

The only major difference is intermittent wipers. I added them (OEM factory part) for $133 and about an hour of work which included about half an hour spent searching/watching YT videos.

The other stuff is cosmetic. My signature truck cost $25,536 and came from factory with keyless entry (part of a $225 option).

 

I got ripped off then, my 18' SR5 didnt come with Intermittent wipers, and also came with steel wheels and no fender flares.

 

Are you sure it was a SR5? I'd run out and look at the window sticker
