Manual transmission & TRD upgrade package question

Can anyone tell me what exactly you get when you have a manual transmission and get a TRD Sport with the upgrade package that gets you the sunroof, auto air, etc.

It seems like I read somewhere that you don't get the sensor door handles for keyless entry, or is it the push button start. Toyota don't say.

 

I have the OR with tech package and MT. No push button start or sensor door handles.

 

Well that seems bogus. Surely they can figure out how to do "technology" when you pay for a technology package!

 

I was actually surprised when I took delivery since the truck I test drove was auto and did have those options. I didn't anticipate adding the MT would delete those options.

 

Honestly, I don't mind not having them. It's nice that you don't need to search for a key getting in and out, but I notice I always forget to lock my wife's car that has keyless entry.

The other nice thing is you don't have an $800 key to worry about and the nuisance of the tailgate key BS most members complain about. We need the key regardless.

I like that the key is integrated unlike the 2G bit would have much preferred it to be a switchblade style rather than a fixed key with buttons on it. Oh well, zero complaints.

 

I agree. I'm fine with it and for me it really is a non issue.

 

I don't like the way they deleted the option of an Access Cab OR with a Manual.

 

Sport = hood scoop and painted fender flares for about same price you get a hell of a lot more in a OR

 

I don't understand why you can't get the TPMS on the manual tranny sport (in Canada at least) but you can get it on the auto tranny. I found that out when the dealership tried to instal it on my summer tires when they were swapping out the winters. Apparently they didn't know until that point either.

 

So a hood skewp and painted fenders in ZERO NADA.... What else do you get with the OR ... so no painted fenders and no skewp... with the OR you get a rear locker... I don't see that as a "hell of a lot more", just sayin.

 

You get a lot more visibility without that non-functional hood scoop. I may never use the locking rear, who knows? I do like being able to see what's in front of me though.

And yes, I've driven both.

 

Does the Sport get A-Trac?

 

Wait, so if you get a manual transmission, you don't get tire pressure monitors? Is this 100% for sure? If so it sucks!

 

Also, does the TPMS give you a realtime AP readout per tire? Or is it only a warning light?

 

I think this thread just took a TRD.

 

My DCSB OR 6MT gives me per tire readout.

See above.

 

The above post about that was refering to Canada only where TPMS is not yet mandated by law like it is in the US.

 

You also get a better brake booster, a-trac/crawl control, dac, the bed power inverter, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting

 

I ordered mine with the manual transmission and the premium and technology package. You do not get the push button start with the manual trans but you do get sunroof, blind spot monitors, cross traffic sensors, heated seats, wireless phone charger, color matched bumpers and fender flares, auto air

 

In Canada they have Access Cab TRD Off Road with manual, that's what I've got. Is this not available in the US??
