SR 4 cyl 4WD work truck seat delete

I’m trying to get one of these, but my local dealers are telling me these are only available for fleet sales.

Is this true?

I’m looking for a really basic beater truck do use at the family farm house.

I don’t need the rear seat, and I like the idea of having the back of the cab used for locking storage.

 

Lots of guys have purchased the SR "Utility" package. I think your dealer is blowing smoke up your ***.

 

That’s what I figured. I may have to go up to Sacramento or Roseville.

 

I agree. I bought one in 2018 but times have changed a lot since then. You will need a KD Max tune as they are miserable to drive. The transmission is horrible.

 

that's not true. i have a 2021 SR 4x4 w/ utility package. no rear seats, white truck w/ black trim. i love it.

 

How terrible is it? I’m replacing a 1992 Toyota pick up which was also a four-cylinder.

 

most SRs are 2.7L and you cannot tune those yet. hopefully soon though.

 

most of the utility package SRs are 2wd and make up most of the fleet sales but they do sell a 4x4 model just harder to find.

 

I would need a 4x4 for the few times I venture to Oregon to see family.

 

Mine's a 4x4 with an MT. Love it! And I hear great things about the longevity of the Japan built 4 cyl. Fingers crossed those hearings are accurate...

 

Those utility trucks delete a lot of nice items...intermittent wipers to begin with. Research it.
I just took the seats, back console and those stupid back headrest out. Anybody big enough to need that headrest would never fit back there in a SR anyway. Then I cut a couple pieces of plywood and covered with i/o carpet and then with small bolts attached them to the existing lids over the jack etc. Since those lids just snap in place it's a piece of cake to pop them out when necessary and they fold up still.
To buy Toyota utility panel and do it with their parts...$$$ but you can sell those jumps seats afterwards as well.

 

Driving into a headwind they downshift in and out constantly. I did not enjoy it. I had a 2001 4 cyl prerunner and it was fine. You can drive one to see what you think. A manual would be fine.

 

Here's my SR with jump seats out except for back panel. PLUS I made a pvc rod/rifle holder that drops right into the head rest holes. No kids just my dog and she rides front or back.

 

this is what the s-mode is for

 

they now have intermittent wipers from 2021 onwards

So this is my build. Went with the V6.

 

Is that a build and price from the Toyota website? Have you spoken to a dealer to have allocated?

 

Walnut Creek Toyota told me they can get me one just like it.

 

I went through the same thing for four months and when the dealer called to say they had it but "needed" to add a 6k market adjustment.
