2013 SR5 vs. TRD (buying new)

Awesome feedback guys!!! ill definitely know what questions to ask and what to look for when I head to the dealership for a test drive this week.

 

Canadian V6 SR5 trucks come with the tow package, and bilstein shocks (blue and yellow).

 

Due to the smaller market (~10% of US), Canadian option pkgs are more streamlined/limited. You can try the Canadian online configurator: http://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/build-price/cp4#models-options

- Double Cab not available with TRD Off Rd pkg
- Access Cab not available with TRD Sport pkg
- GPS navigation not offered with Access Cab
- SR5 comes with tow pkg and aluminum wheels
- TRD Off Rd comes with everything on the SR5, plus bolstered seats, 265 tires, rear locker, A-Trac, bed outlet, etc.
- Difference between SR5 and TRD Off Rd is $3000.

Budget $3000 to get front and rear ARB air lockers installed with air compressor.

 

Got this straight from Toyota.ca for anyone else in Canada looking for this info that happens to come across this thread.

I bought a 2014 SR5 a month ago. It has the auto-dimming mirror with compass, but not the outside temperature gauge.

 

these are for 2013

 

Sorry. My bad!

 

maybe you should look at the 2014 options then if you're buying new, considering it is 2014?

maybe they changed some of them up and haven't posted to the site. unless you find a leftover with the options your looking for.

 

The outside temp gauge was deleted from a lot of 2014 trucks for some reason. Might as well get a 2013, esp if you can get a good discount on it.

 

my sr5 came with tow package.

 

Hey guys found a trd off-road, only thing is that I'm not crazy about the red. Probably the only one within 1000kms I'll have to compromise sooner or later I think somewhere

 

Is that a 2013 ?

 

I believe so I was on the phone with dealership last week about this one, forgot what year it is now I'll txt him in the morning tomorrow to double check

 

How much are they asking ?

 

34000 ish

 

Huh , seems about the same as here

 

shouldn't this really be SR5: TRD vs non-TRD
SR5 is a trim option and can be had with the TRD off road, you don't have to choose either/or. Maybe I'm behind the times here and they removed the SR5 badge from the TRD off-road, but you still get all of the SR5 perks in the TRD off-road package, plus the extra TRD off-road stuff, so technically it's still an SR5 even if it doesn't have the badge

 

I had the same question back in July when I purchased my 2013 AC. Since I knew I would be adding my own lift and tires plus a myriad of other extras it made more sense to go with an SR5. Here in VA I paid $28k for my 4x4 SR5 vs the $32-34k any of the TRD models were going for. Why pay more for parts I was going to replace right out the gate? Hence my decision.

 

the TRD packages include the SR5 options already. It's just the TRD Sport/OffRoad offers more in the way of options (suspension, e-locker, ATRAC, etc) that some may not need to spend the extra money on.

 

Couldn't find a 2013 that i liked. the Dealership had a black TRD off-road i couldn't turn down. I'll be going to pick it up next weekend cant wait. This Thread has been extremely helpful with my decision. Ill post pics as soon as can. Thanks TW
