    That would be a killer package if it had a Manual Option

    Exactly. The best set-up is not available in the US.

    Don't know about the SR. I guess I will be losing intermittent wipers, multi-function display and tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Don't really want to go that basic since I will be moving from a car that had all those options. The telescoping steering wheel may be handy since I am tall and most likely will have the seat pushed all the way back. But I will check the SR out if the dealer has it on the lot.

    Either in ‘18 or ‘19, I thought SR’s came with multi func display. And intermittent wipers is very easy and cheap to add.

    My 2017 SR has a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Don't know about the more current model. And, intermittent wipers are available. Even though the SR is the "base model" it is still relatively feature rich.

    Why the manufacturers cannot come up with an easier model scheme? I went thru the Tacoma brochure and telescoping steering wheel is listed for the SR5. According to the brochure SR gets plastic steering wheel and SR5 gets tilt/telescoping leather wrapped one. I guess there may be a package that adds this feature to SR model.

    I am on the Toyota website but the only available package for both 2018 and 2019 SR Tacomas is the SR Convenience Package. Clicking on details on the package it lists only "keyless entry" and "50 states emissions". No cruise control, mirror caps, wheels, etc listed.

    Bro, seriously. This is all available on Toyota.com. Just look under full specs.

    18 and 19’s obviously come with RADAR Cruise control. Standard.
    Telescoping wheel. Standard.
    No variable speed wipers but as I said, easy solution. Rest of your questions are answered there. Good luck.

    "No point now in the SR5. You can now get the SR with a V6 in a Double Cab or Access Cab in either 2WD or 4WD. Plus it offers the SX package with convenience package for black alloy wheels, mirror caps, handles and fender flares and wireless door entry and cruise control. The SR is the new winner for 2019 IMO. It even has more colors available now including above. You can get everything you need and nothing you don't want for cheaper than an SR5."

    When I go to the Toyota build site it will only let me build the access cab with a 4 cylinder for the SR package in either the 2WD or 4WD packages.....The Double cab package let's you choose the 4 cylinder option for the 2WD and 6 cylinder for the 4X4 package. Does anyone know if you will be able to get the 6 cylinder in the Access cab with the SR package? That really is a nice looking truck with the fender flares and especially the black alloy wheels.....I have an SR5 but would have no problem "downgrading" to an SR...would have everything I needed.[/QUOTE]
