Can SR5 be a TRD?

?

 

My 11 has no badges. It does have the bilsien shocks and rear locker though. I've been trying to figure out exactly what I bought and thanks to this thread I'm starting to find out just how bad a$$ this truck is.

Somehow this ended up in the middle instead of an attached message.

 

Going through the 2011 brochure I'm still not able to tell what kind of monster I have. According to what I see the only difference between the t/x and the t/X pro is a decal. This is the link to the page where I found this. My truck has been debadged so all I'm able to tell is that it has all the wheels and buttons listed. Does anyone know of a way to run the vin and see what I have?

here's the same 2011 brochure without the annoying web UI or watermarks

and yeah, don't see any sign of a TX/TXPro package. just TRD Offroad and TRD Sport.

you might try this decoder, it lists my options

BZZT no, it doesn't... it lists ALL the possible options. *useless*. apparently you have to go to a dealer to get a printout for a given car by VIN

 

Thanks @LeftCoastNerd. The only other difference I see is an exhaust option. There is no TRD inscribed in mine. It doesn't look like your standard stainless steal tip though.

 

that looks exactly like the tip on my 2008 TRD Offroad, which is stamped TRD across the top near the outlet.

 

This one doesn't have a stamp. I bought the truck used and don't really know much about it. The dealer had it listed as a SR5 TRD sport. Through my research I know it's at least a TRD off-road. The previous owner doesn't seem to be the kind of guy to do much in the line of accesorizing so I don't feel like he would have added these wheels. From what I've seen they only come with a minimum of the T/X package.

 

my understanding is, the main difference between TRD off road and TRD sport is, the Sport has 17" rims, stiffer shocks, and a hood scoop. the OR has soft OR shocks, 16" rims, A-TRAC, and no hood scoop.

per: http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Toyota/Tacoma/Toyota_US Tacoma_2011.pdf#page=13 the 2011 Sport has smoked headlights, and body colored grill insert, while the OR has clear headlights and chrome grill insert.

oh, and looking closer at that page, I see the T/X and T/X Pro are listed at the bottom... duh, I missed that before. So, the T/X is a TRD Offroad with those black wheels, the black pipe nerf bars, and if its a Pro, it has the full TRD Performance Exhaust (normally a dealer installed upgrade)

offhand, I'm guessing you have a T/X non-Pro.

 

Thanks for the input. I reached out to the original owner, and have yet to get a reply. this forum has been tons of help.

 

Give dealership the VIN

 

Another notable difference between OR and Sport models is the electronic rear diff locker vs LSD.

 

Sport shocks are different for a fact than offroad?

 

I have not owned both but, FWIW, the 2013 brochure lists...

The IMPLICATION is that they're different.

 

I seen a post by a tech who said they are the same dampers, only diff was sport is linear coil (same as sr5), and offroad is progressive coil.
