TRD taco vs. SR5 taco?

im about to buy a 99 4x4 taco and its SR5 instead of TRD. i want to lift it and all kinds of stuff is there any difference between TRD and SR5 other than rear locker and skid plate on transfer case?

 

am i right? very little difference right?

 

i have a 11' taco but that sounds about rite to me

 

I can't say with certainty, but I suspect '99 option packages were SIMILAR to the ones offered on my '04. In 2004, the SR5 package meant your truck came with:
- chrome bumpers and grille surround
- defroster-linked CFC-free air conditioning (standard on PreRunner Xtracab V6)
- dual-fabric sun visors with mirror and visor extensions
- orange-illuminated white-faced gauges (speedometer, tachometer with LCD twin tripmeters and coolant temperature and fuel-level meters)
- digital clock
- tilt steering wheel
- dual-fabric sunvisors with mirror and visor extensions
- sliding rear window with privacy glass
- washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers
- Deluxe 3-in-1 audio system with six speakers

While, the TRD package included:
- off-road-tuned suspension with Bilstein high-pressure gas shocks and progressive-rate springs
- P265/70 R16 BFGoodrich tires on 16” five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels
- locking rear differential
- black fender flares
- TRD graphics

 

Doesn't TRD have a tranny cooler too? Or is that only with tow package?

 

ya so it doesnt sound like a need trd cuz im going to replace all the suspension and i never used my locker on my last taco os sweet thanks guys!

 

oh and with 5100's and ebaich will the stock UCA be able to adjust enough? i've herd yes and no but i need an answer please

 

you should be good. lots of guys run this setup and this doesn't seem to be an issue.

 

TRDs have E locker Diffs and came will Bilstein shocks and BFG tires. Everything else is the same. You wont have a locker diff possibly. But some did come with it as an option.

 

3" in front and 1.5" in rear.... can i fit 33x12.5 in the rear?

 

Yes, but the front will require wheel spacers or different rims, and a lot of cutting.

 

in the front ill be going with procomp black out rims with like 3.5 backspace and 2" wheel spacers.... right now its completly stock and it has 31x10.5 and no rubing issues so going up 3" and only going up 2"s in tire size should be fine right?

 

my 03 Sr5 has a rear locker? its not a TRD truck though.... how can you tell the difference between them? and my Sr5 doesnt have a chrome bumper or bumpers.... ?

 

all the tacomas are sr5. The sr5 package was more important on the toyota pickups. It was different trim and comfort packages and such. The trd comes with an e-locker. If you have an e-locker it is most likely a trd with the stickers removed. trd also comes with tokico shocks and progressive front springs.

 

do the TRD trucks have cruise control?

 

cruise control is independant of package. just an option.
