Tacoma Noob Question: What are the differences between

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am just trying to understand what the differences are for: Prerunner, SR5 and Limited?
My '00 is a 4x4 but I can't figure out which model it is.....

Thanks, G

 

If yours is a 4X4, it can't be a PreRunner. A PreRunner is a 2WD model built on the 6-lug (4X4) chassis / suspension setup.

In 2000 the Limited package / edition was a V6 XtraCab.

The SR5 trim / option packages were available for any model Tacoma in 2000.

You need to give some specifics on the truck before anyone can figure out what options might and might not apply ...

 

OK...here's what I know I have
2000 Tacoma
4x4
5spd / Manual Transmission
XtraCab
31" tires (some suppliers' databases suggest this only came with prerunner)
No fancy power windows or door locks....actually the way I like it.

What else would you be looking for.

It looks like this:



just ignore the topper.......it was only a test

 

It is not an access cab, that would mean it has doors for the extra cab. By quick glance, it isn't an SR5 either. But it is a good looking truck.

 

Im just glad those horrid blue stripes are gone

 

Yeah, thanks. Ooops, I meant XtraCab.

What defines the SR5 package? Is that package more "off road" oriented?

 

Yeah. They were a bit, ummm, feminine.

Although, when I stripped them I found out they were used to mask a re-painted area. One of these days I'll call the P.O. and ask about any repairs.

 

I believe the SR5 is just like power windows/locks. Just the little extras.

 

Weird, mine is a '98 SR5 with manual windows, locks, ect, really no options. Has SR5 badges anyhow.

 

Im glad that topper is gone...

A lot of potential in this truck tho

 

im sure they are not factory mounted tires, so probably a previous owner purchase and its looking like a SR5

 

sr5 is like power windows, door locks, cruise control, different bumpers, and maybe a nicer radio...nothing that really is important...it's prolly just a 4x4...not sr5 or anything...sr5 doesn't really mean "better" ...it's just a marketing scheme...lol

 

they did come from the factory with 31. looks like a base 4x4

 

yea it looks like just a sr5 4x4. open differentials front and back.

 

odd that it isnt badged as an SR5 though right?

 

My truck has power windows but isn't limited?

 

I mean mirrors lol . But you answered it. Mine is a 02.

 

Oh I can imagine. Thats one of those things that you dont think twice about unless you dont have it.

 

Wow, you are all really nice to one another! If this question was asked in the 2nd gen forum, then the OP would have been grilled by now. Lots of rude people at that side.

 

Perhaps another reason to hang on to my "old" truck...
