Difference between SR & TRD Sport

Haha boom roasted

 

If the SR came in a Dbl Cab Short or Long bed with the Manual transmission, that is what I would be driving. I need the Dbl cab for family, was not wavering on the MT part, and a long bed would be pretty sweet. So to answer mechanically, the MT was not available in the SR in the DCSB configuration

 

Given that the Sport is designed for highway driving how come it got the TRD label?

I feel Toyota snuck that one in on us...

 

The "R" in "TRD" stands for Racing. TRD is the Toyota subsidiary that is responsible for tuning street vehicles.

 

Hmmm... Doesn't make a lot of sense to downgrade to an SR even if you break even. Why would you want to downgrade unless you are going to come out ahead financially? Your truck, your choice. But I don't get it...

 

In 2016 and possibly into early 2017 there was an extremely rare SR DCSB MT.

 

The biggest differences and most important...$$$ for sport springs and hood scoop.

 

So far l have only seen 2 SR DCSB V6 MT, 1 red and 1 white, the 2017 brochure even lists it.

 

here’s the red haha. If it’s real

Wow thats awesome, also lists as being a 2017!

 

I know what TRD stands for but I thought Toyota raced their trucks off road and their cars on the street.

Does Toyota race trucks on the street?

 

Yes

 

Yeah, that little 'pool boy' quote was a bit unnecessary, I thought. I've never made fun of ANYbody who was employed and working.
And BTW, my 2020 SR has painted color-matched bumpers.

So, TLDR version: pool boys can at least do math....

 

When I went shopping for my 2020 SR ... Yes that only came with a 4 cyl., but that's what I wanted (Along with the AC) and it is 4x4.
Where I'm at (Great NW) I probably couldn't have found a 2WD, if I wanted ... But that's here and not there... Here, a lot of snow/ice, so nobody in their right mind buys a 2WD, unless they like being stuck a lot .. lol!

 

Yeah it’s different in every region. In Canada I believe all Tacoma trucks are 4WD if I’m not mistaken. Here in my region you can get the Sport in the AC, DCSB, and DCLB all ranging with optional 2WD or 4WD.

 

What about all the added panty drop-ability added by the scoop??

 

First 2020 tacoma i test drove was an access cab 4 cylinder 4wd. Imo, it felt underpowered...gave me the impression toyota had a real turkey with this one.

 

Then for some reason i guess it depends what dealers are getting. Every sr on the lots here i've looked at all had black bumpers and fender flares.
