    In Canada you can only get the offroad package in the access cab but I would prefer having a double cab and I want a trd package for the options. So what I am really wondering is should I buy the trd sport and just replace the tires and suspention because I prefer a offroad feel to a truck. Is there an reason to get the offroad over the sport with all the changes I will be doing to the truck ,I also prefer the look of the sport. I won't be doing any crazy offroading just the occasional dirt road and getting to fishing spots.

    I also will getting level 8 guardians on 265/75/16 duratracs and ome complete lift.

    Doesn't sound like you need the offroad. You prefer a double cab and the look of the sport, so get the sport. Changing the tires and suspension on the sport is easy cheesy.

    Your poll only has options for Offroad and Sport, but like another said, get an SR5, and throw in an ARB locker or two and you are good to go.

    Yea but I want the sport seats and the skewp the skewp makes it faster :p i was also looking at the trails team sport package and it is basically the same price as if I bought all the accessory by them selves and it is already installed. Skids sidesteps roof rack and exhaust.


    Ohh and another think I was looking at the estimated installations costs for buying accessories and toyota will charge you .1 of an hour to instal the trd oil cap haah

    I went with sport. I liked the paint rather than chrome, the mirrors with signals (and painted) and I thought the ride was better.

    Mine goes in next week for ARB locker install front and rear. Tires should also arrive next week (Duratracs).

    And of course the chicks dig the Scoop!

    I'd say sr5 if my sport seats weren't so damn nice.
    If I could get an sr5 with sport seats and no chrome bumper I would have.
    Get the sport, mod with new wheels/ tires and suspension.

    Buy an SR5, put a locker and suspension in. Slowly buy parts like seats, colormatched stuff, etc. In the end like I said you have a better truck and you'll only have paid a little more for it..

    I'm not at all disappointed in my SR5 long bed, but I would love to have gotten the Sport's seats and, yes, the skewp (would like to actually make it function, though).

    I like the in-bed power outlet on the Offroad, but don't think I'd use it that often and I can add one of those myself pretty easily if I choose to.

    Beyond that, I can get my own locker and better suspension from the aftermarket, so could care less about those aspects of the TRD packages. Would like aftermarket bumpers eventually too, I can live with my chrome rear until then.
