Toyota no longer putting SR5 badge on TRD's

I noticed that on the TRD packaged trucks, Toyota is no longer putting "V6 SR5" on the right side of the tailgate. They now only put "V6" over there. The 2010s have it, but the 2011s don't.

Any idea why?

 

Budget cuts! lol.

 

What does sr5 stand for??

 

Sport Rally 5 Speed or so I've heard

sport rally 5 speed, which is what gets me...they still put that on the 6 speeds....kinda contradictive...

 

yea i understand that, but putting an sr5 sticker on something that isnt a 5 speed, is like putting a v8 sticker on a v6

i know its all a marketing scam, like the type S corrolla, put an S on something and automatically people want it cause it sounds fast..same concept with SR5, even though it isnt a true SR5 like what i used to be in the 80s, it gets people's attention and they end up saying "ooohh i want an SR5, sounds cool!"

 

5 speed, late 70's early 80's Celica!!! That's what I id SR5 to!!!

 

so... are the automatics 5 speeds? or 4 speeds? I have one but have never paid attn.
If it's a 5 speed then im not totally a poser. =)

 

autos are 5 speed, so no you arent a poser...lol...notice on your gear shift, how you have a L-2-3-4-D? aka 1-2-3-4-5...

 

I believe that most of Toyotas stuff back in the day was manual 4 & 5 speeds. Don't think there was too many autos around.

 

One less badge to de-badge

 

I saw a Ford Mustang one time that had a Nissan GTR emblem on it that he probably picked up at Pep Boys. Should of asked him if his car was a hybrid...red neck rice.


AWE shucks...look what I found...first post.

They were around they just sucked!!!

 

I noticed that to ... Just one less badge I gotta remove

 

Yeah I just did some research. lol. Looked like the public enjoyed driving manual trasmissions.

 

Truly they would have sold many more if their trannys were as solid as the 2 and 3 speed autos of the day. They weren't and they tended to be gutless with an auto in them. Boy have we come a long way. I 'borrowed' a 335 (bmr) recently and that thing drove home the point that there is no need for a manual these days!!!

 

I still enjoy driving a stick shift. They suck in traffic I will admit, but my 5 speed in my older Toy is better than the auto's they used to have. I have to agree with you.

 

Yeah, I hear you on the fun meter but once you get used to the paddle shifters they'll be fun and when you have to drive in traffic, just put it in an auto mode.

 

haha i saw this video on youtube of this guy that had a nissan gtr sticker on it, and the guy recording the video went up and asked him about the car and asked him if its a rotary engine...the guy responded, "yea..yea its a rotary" so the guy recorded proceeded to ask him "with pistons right?" and the guy goes "yea, yea pistons"...he was african american though to be pc

 

found it!
