need help deciding between 2018 TRD Sport vs TRD off road

Weekly

 

Thanks everyone, i have never used my locker, and will be putting a lift on it. I was out today and saw a ton of sports and off roads. Just about a equal amount of each. Time to test drive is bottom line.

 

@Dirty Harry You here yet? Let me get a quick stretch in, and then we can go at it on this thread

 

Congrats

Many have moved from Sport to OR, but aren't brave enough to admit it....

Hope the loss wasn't too bad. But I am sure the OR is worth it.

 

Just the fact that you get more features on the O.R. for literally the same price as a Sport tells me it it's worth getting the O.R.

 

Stock locker all the way...Imo it’s better to have it and not need it than to, you know the rest.

 

Does anyone really know why the price is similar between the two models?

I paid $33k for mine, which was $3.5k less than all the off roads, which is why i justified not having the locker and crawl control, on top of the fact that I really only use my 4x4 to go 40 feet off pavement to fishing spots on oahu.

 

I hate the hood scoop on the sport and I like the looks of 16” wheels over 17”. OR was a clear winner for me.

 

you can get both. one mine n the other my son

 

Nope. I got the 18 manual sport because it came with leather seats, dual climate control and upgraded head unit. For me the leather at no charge was very appealing over the OR cloth seats.

 

Off Road is the way to go.

 

The Leather would be in the Off Road if you decided to get the same package as on the Sport, same exact cost.

 

Carry around a spare transmission then.... you know, it's better to have it and not need it lol.

 

Depends on if you care about the stock suspension and if you want the long bed. No long bed (2016, 17 likely 18) in sport. Otherwise the differnce boils down to suspension and the hood scope. The OR suspension is "softer" (not soft), some feel it is better for a daily driver. If you are going to lift it, then you likely might do a suspension upgrade, so paying for good suspension to rip out is one thought to consider...figure out EXACTLY you lift, some lift the OR using the existing shocks. The OR also has the OR drive train features.

 

Didn’t know a spare transmission came as an option... other than the extended warranty of course. Lol.

 

Let me give another shameless plug to my poll. It may give you an idea of what many of us have.

I didn't think you can get leather in an OR?

 

You can, same package as Sport.
