Need some clarification

So yeah, ATRAC and elockers have been minimal use to me.

What situation is that REALLY needed though, like i know it makes it easier, but is there a dire situation where a OR make it, and no other model will? cause as long as you're experienced 4x4, know how to line your truck up in a climb or crawling, then its not a need? and thats IF im really crawling around

 

Yes, you might have mistaken trac for Atrac.

 

The locker has saved me in low traction situations. Namely sand.

 

TRAC , not ATRAC

 

Its not just crawling, its anything where traction is crucial. Could just be a muddy section of a fire road. ATRAC uses the computer to power the wheels that have traction so you dont just spin. From the reading I have done on TW, several people have shared about how crucial it was to get them through a spot where they would have gotten stuck without it.

 

I got nuthin'.

 

Ok… I must be mistaken. Well it still goes like hell in the snow weather it has Atrac or just plain old trac

 

I like your style, +1

 

So essentially and non-technically, its a low HP recovery winch built into electronic sensors.

 

So for $1,500...you get a lot more

 

its 1500 more than SR5 for OR? Seems like you get a lot more, elocker, ATRAC, better suspension.

 

Your money. I still vote SR5 for any on road situation you will encounter, even in the mountains. Off road could be another story.

 

The difference between the SR5 and the OR that i would like, not the super stripped model but some interior amenities, yes $1500

 

I have an Off Road right now and love it… just didn't know that there was that big of a difference for $1500. and $1500 doesn't even put a dent in what I'd wanna do to build it myself.

 

Have you tried dealing on the SR5. I got mine for 28000 before tax/title. DCSB, Entune, 4x4, 6 speed.

 

Well shit thats a $4,000 difference…. Guess you're right. And now that i have the "toyota loyalty" discount and know a manager at the store i might swing a better deal. SHOOT MAN!!!

 

The ATRAC only works in 4 low. I use it while sanding my driveway because I'll stop every 50 feet or so while going up hill to throw some sand out behind me.

 

Yeah like I said... I've used it once. And it was probably overkill
