Tacoma Noob Question: What are the differences between

My is the limited edition. The driver's seat is power, chrome mirrors, fenders color matched, keyless entry, TRD, nerf bars, tow package. With the exception that it is not a 4x4, it is an awesome truck. I can live without 4x4.

 

ok im like 97% sure on this.
SR5= convienience package like power windows, power locks, ect
Limited= same as SR5 but with color keyed bumpers/fenders, and chrome door handles and side mirrors
TRD= locker

so from what iv heard its a simple base 4x4

 

Well, no ...

As far as the items you listed ...

Power windows, door locks, and mirrors were available with the Power Package, and they were bundled within the Limited Package. These items were not included in any SR5 package in 2002. The Power Package included power mirrors only on 6-lug models.

The SR5 Color-Keyed Package got you color-keyed front and rear bumpers, grille surround, door handles, and mirrors (some models).

Color-keyed flares were available only with the Limited Package (which color-keyed the front bumper only).

The TRD Off Road Package included suspension components, wheels / tires, flares and badging. The e-locker was bundled in this package, but not on 4-cylinder automatics. The e-locker was also available as a standalone option (again - not for 4-cylinder automatics).

 

There aren't SR5 or Limited badges behind the Xtra cab windows (they could have been removed though.) You can check out this site to scan the appropriate brochures for your truck.

Let us know what you find. I like that style of wheel. I have the 16" star wheel and don't care for the styling as much.

 

Doing a little more investigation:
I meant to mention it does NOT have a rear diff locker. Just all the regular 4x4 gearing i.e. 4L, 4H
I have recently discovered it WAS painted on the driver's side and thus the reason for the original stickers that I removed.
The wheels are 15x7JJ with 31" tires. The only reference these wheels was for the Prerunner (which I understand is 2 wheel drive).

This has no power anything (other than brakes and steering). So, no power windows, locks etc.

I am just beginning to think it is a base 4x4, but I was just trying to figure out if that was a particular model line or just "base".

I did start to go through the brochures on the reference site. No conclusion for me yet.

Thanks so far. Not super important to know the exact model, but I am curious.

 

this might help...

wow so much to learn, mine is a 2004 TRD limited double cab, and i read some one had power seat, that is the only thing i dont have. but i love all the power everything.

 

The 2004 Limited Package included a driver seat with an electric lumbar support adjustment. The switch for this is on the outboard side of the seat back.

 

The 15X7 wheels were factory options on both 4X4's and PreRunners in 2000.

 

That's interesting.

Then it is:

A Truck-Tacoma
W Tacoma XTRA CAB 4WD 1996-2004
N 3.4 L V6 (5VZ) 1996-2004
7 Tacoma XTRA CAB 4WD 1996-2005
2 Deluxe Tacoma 2 Air Bags 1998-2000
N Tacoma 1996-2005


How about that? I've got a Deeeeeeeeelux Tacoma and yet no power windows. Bah.

Thanks.

 

sr5 package adds chrome bumpers, upgraded wheels and tires, bucket seats, cd player, and air conditioning. It's pretty much the middle trim package

 

not always mines sr5 and it had the stock steel rims on it. no cd and 60/40 split.
