2017 TRD OFF ROAD VS SR5

New guy here, thanks for the forum!
So I own a 23" TRD Off Road and helping my son buy his first truck. He is looking at a 2017 SR5, however it has TRD 4x4 OFF ROAD sticker on the box. We are looking at it from out of state and trying to determine what it really is. The dealer lists it as a SR5. We are not familiar with the 2017 model year and what we should look at to determine the difference. PICS attached. Again...looking at it from out of state..so what pics should I ask to confirm what it is.

 

A rear- locker button. That's the magic.

 

It’s an SR5 grille. But like @OLDTRAP said, it’s gonna come down to those extra controls. The SR5 should have a place for sunglasses up between the visors. An OffRoad will have a selector knob and some other buttons. Sorry I’m not more help there, I have an SR myself, so I am not super familiar with the OR.

 

Thanks you OLDTRAP.
Where would the locker button be located?

 

Yes, I read somewhere the SR5 had a horizontal grill, thus I sent the pic. I am just not sure if it is a SR5, why they have the OFF ROAD Stickers.

 

Because not all people can handle the p***y us SR guys get?

 

It's a SR5 Grill and and SR5 Chrome Bumper But the Wheels are OR.. it's clearly got a lift on it. Whatever is below the mirror on the door doesn't belong there.

 

The faux Pro emblem below the side view mirror

 

VIN?

 

Ask for a picture of the area above rear view mirror.
Off road looks like this

SR5 just has a flat fold up door to hold sunglasses

also that's the dirtiest cruise control button i've ever seen.

That is a base OR with SR5 grille. The chrome caps were what the base OR came with in 2017. I replaced mine with SR black caps.

Agree with everything else though.

 

The 2016 and 2017 Off Roads and Sports came with a chrome grille. I almost bought an SR5 grille like your picture in post #1 but ended up with a Pro grille. Many TW members wanted a black grille on their Sport or Off Road back then. Here is a picture of that chrome grille.

Trd offroad. I attached a spec sheet

 

My Off Road has a Sunglasses holder up there, but its a MT.

 

Looks like an off road to me, with those black fender flares, OEM Off road rims.

Matching painted mirrors and oem Fog lights too.

So ya, check the Vin! You could ask if it has dual climate controls which doesn't come with the SR packages.

 

Well guys…thanks for the info. Here is the pic. if that visor area. Seems like most of you were spot on with the TRD off road. I think I am making a road trip.

Any other things to keep in mind? Should I be concerned about the lift? It has a pedal commander too.

 

My experience is that when someone mods/changes their ride like the one you're considering, it's because they really like it and wanted to add and improve on it. If it checks out you can change/remove what you want after purchase. No used vehicle will be exactly as you want. I would get a mechanical inspection.

 

That’s for sure an off road. The off road used to be a package based on the sr5, so it’s easy to see it advertised as such.
