    2019 TRD Sport
    I’m about to buy a 2019 TRD DC 4x4, but not really sure which to get. I love the looks of the TRD off road, but I’ll be driving quite a bit on the highway. Should I go with the Sport or LTD? I’ve test driven the Sport and Off Road w/o really noticing a difference. I’ve only driven 1500 Silverados in the past, so I’m used to something bigger but don’t need a full size truck anymore. Thanks and any advice would be appreciated!

    If you do any off road then go with the off road model. The sport is just a sr5 with a hood scoop, mirror turn signals and power rear slider window.. the sport doesnt have crawl control either. Has atrac I believe.

    Does the Off Road drive similar to the Sport/LTD on the street?

    The suspensions are a little different, the OR will feel a little stiffer on the street but better offroad. If you hang around here long enough you'll be upgrading your suspension on either model eventually anyway.

    If you plan on doing any moderate offroading at all, the rear locker on the OR is worth it's weight in gold IMO. You can add an aftermarket one to the Sport but they are expensive.

    Btw... if you dont like the off road shocks.... buy it any way and i am sure someone on here will trade suspensions with you or you will just upgrade to aftermarket any way after the stocks wear out.

    How old are you?

    If you are AARP member, get the Limited. You can look at your dentures in the chrome mirrors. Otherwise, get any of the other NON limited models.

    Hi there! I have a TRD OR DCLB 4x4 and I think it is super comfy on the highway. I have no complaints on the way the suspension feels and if I want to go off road, I’m ready!

    That’s actually pretty funny PROseur. Thanks Taco Buggy. I assume that will be my option, but you never know... I’ll be in dentures soon, better keep my options open
