SR5 4WD in Underground

Not seeing too many new SR5's around here being posted, but I brought home this lowly SR5 today...







Was on the lot and no added mark-up. Actually was a couple grand off as it somehow has been sitting a little bit. Has the upgrade package with the heated seats/steering wheel and JBL sound system. After several Offroads and a Sport in the mix this truck is still optioned nicely. I never offroad so this only makes sense.

After a couple 3rd gens with the V6 the 2.4 turbo seems to be a breath of fresh air. Doesn't even hardly downshift on the hills on the state roads I drive. Computer said I was getting 26mpg on the way home from the dealer. The 8 speed is still learning, but seems to already shift better than my old '21 that has the 6 speed automatic. I traded in my '22 6 speed manual. Tired of shifting.

I did immediately after getting home remove that goofy front chin spoiler...



So, here's to hoping it will be reliable!

 

If you don’t mind sharing how much off msrp was it ?

 

Congratulations on the truck! I must admit I’m jealous of your grass more.

 

Roughly $2000.

 

We had the entire months worth of rain for April the first week in so it is taking off. I'm sure it'll get dry and die off like last year.

 

Seems like a good purchase ! Hope you enjoy it for a long time

 

EXCUSE ME WHAT. You know I love a good black SR5…

 

Congrats, very nice truck. Hope it serves you well and look forward to updates moving forward.

 

Looks good, man. Congrats.

 

Very nice truck, I just purchased the same truck here in central TX.

 

i do not know why but some of these i like, and others not so much. yours looks great, i like the sr5, the color, and the wheels. i would like to see this exact truck in an extended cab.

enjoy and thanks for sharing. please keep us updated as you rack up the miles.

 

Nice ride. SR5 with some nice bits is what I’m probably going with as well if the price is right. Like the back to basics vibe.

 

I’m interested to hear how you like it as you drive it more. I’m so glad you got rid of that chin strap too

 

Loving it more by the mile. Made a loop back to the dealer to retrieve my garage door remote. Took I-70 for a couple miles to try it out. I did have to turn off that lane assist as it got confused through the construction (can't be a Maryland Spring without road construction!) and was pulling me in different directions.

Still sitting on 26mpg, so next tank I'll do an actual hand calculation. If it's true it will make up for the smaller tank.

It did ride much better adjusting the tires to door plaquard pressure. They were all about 7 psi over inflated

 

congrats on the new purchase

 

Congrats!

 

U made the best decision.

 

Nice truck but mow yer damn yard!!

 

Mow ? That shit looks great

 

Nice ride!
