SR5 vs TRD Off Road summary. Is this right?

What bumper caps did you end up getting? Bumpershellz?

 

Nice Truck! You did a full Bilstein Lift, Tires, Skid Plates, and Sliders all for less than the $2000 price difference between the SR5 and Off Road?

 

I got some plastic ones off Car Parts dot com. Less than $80 for the pair, shipped.
I had backed into a fire hydrant protector, and cracked the left chrome one. Gave me a reason to make the change.

Tires $850
Shocks $500
Sliders Craigslist $500
Skidplates ( ironman 4x4) $700 black friday

$2550

I guess I missed his where the trd was only $2k difference. When I was looking Nov 2021 it was more like a $3-4k price difference. Maybe market adjustment prices

 

Sounds like you got some good bargins! The difference used to be more like $1700 but over the past few years it has grown to a little over $2K. But if you start loading the trucks with extra options they can get crazy expensive as you noticed.

 

I have cloth seats, no sunroof, no remote start in my OR. For me, leather was something I did not want, but could have lived with. The moon roof was a hard hell no though.

For less that $2k? That is some serious deal shopping. An OR without extras is not much more than an SR5. Granted, $2k is still money that can be spent on those things as it is not like the OR comes with them.

Edit: Sorry, I see you already answered that.

 

That i could never tell as far as which had a better ride. Imo, they both felt similar, even riding down my crappy dirt road in my fishing buddies trd or. I really did think my sr5 drove flatter into sweeping corners, and was quieter, but it had 1/2 the mileage, and a year newer then the trd.
