OFFROAD or SPORT? Why?

Damn drive way was sketchy as shit, a solid 45 degree incline and a lake 30 feet from the bottom.

It was in Tupper lake. We aren't what I would call strangers to cold and snow in upstate NY

The highest grade is 40 degrees so pretty darn close to yours except we have a village a t the bottom not a lake.

I got a hefty offer for my Sport. Thinking about whether to keep it or sell it and get an OR.

Just keep in mind that deal on your sport is going to get folded right back into the Offroad. Unless the dealers in your area have an Offroad in stock configured the way you want, be prepared to wait a long time for the OR. I would not want to buy a car or truck right now.

OFFROAD!! and buy the damn sports hood lol

TRD OR, I liked the idea of factory lockers. Haven't heard the best things about ARB air lockers.

Big Mike’s 3rd Gen started off as a Sport…

If you don't want the rockin' and boucin' giving away your camper shell activities Ride-Rite airbags with on-demand air inflated to 100 psi is a cure.

I don't have to read any further...this one made me lol!

Op, what are your goals with the Tacoma?

Are you planning to Off-Road quite a bit or be mostly on the street?

The comments about the "skewp" are ridiculous but that's how some people feel.

EDIT: Another question: are you a stickler for manual transmission or is automatic transmission ok?

Crawl control is what sold me on the OR vs Sport. Also, it is cheaper to add Sport features into the OR than the other way around. I would have leaned into the Sport if I had zero intentions on taking my truck anywhere other than pavement.

With that said, the Sport is cheaper, gets better fuel economy, and has a higher maximum tow capacity out the gate.

I don't think picking one over the other is a bad decision. Like everything, there are pros and cons with each.

Now this is a great observation!

If you mean the 990 lbs that is the Total Combined Weight of Occupants + Cargo, that is something I just discovered the other day for my Sport.

The DCLB is 940 lbs in that respect which subtracting the Total Combined Weight to roughly 600 lbs tongue weight gives 50 more pounds to factor.

OR with a sport/sr5 grille Bigger rear end/locker, but with a nicer looking grille

Those are OR panties!

Buahahahaha!!!

I still would choose the Sport over the OR. Not just for the scoop but for me not doing off road maneuvers like I see the young guys do. Their Tacos go through hell going off road and the extra money they paid to do this. No sense to me at all unless you have lots of $$$$ or live in mommies basement. Scoop looks nice and drops granny panties too at my age.just saying

I'm commenting on all the replies that catch my eye regarding the skewp.

That last sentence is friggin' funny as all get-out!

Thank you.

EDIT: I lived in England during the early 90s as a young Airman and the term, "Grab-A-Granny" was coined for a local pub/club house. These British women were in their 40s and just looking for nice Boy-Toy to take home.

Uh, no...I did not go home with a granny!

I'm guilty of buying the sport. It was a dealers lost leader and I got an amazing price on it. But man...I can't stand the hood scoop! It takes up visual clearance while driving.

From reading threads like this one I see the TRD Sport crowd seems to be a happy, laid back, easy going bunch.

Some of the OR crowd act like their hairdressers pulled their man-bun too tight.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

So much hate coming from that side of the spectrum.

Doesn’t matter, We can all slap steel bumpers, snorkels and a RTT on either to crawl the mall

If you don't already know what you want in the Sport v. OR debate, may I suggest you look into the Honda Ridgeline*. It's the super practical-ist

*this post is in no way an endorsement of the Honda Ridgeline.

LOLOL!

Maybe he was trolling...who knows?

But that chick fight on previous page reminds me of the girl fights I saw growing up in SoCal/LA circa 1979-82.

El Sereno JHS was quite the school to learn before heading to Wilson HS on the hill. 1982-85.

The manual transmission was one my main requirements, along with the 6-foot bed. To get it, I had to get a Sport. That made the choice a no-brainer.
