Tacoma Questions and Recommendations

Hello all!
I just joined the forum today, and I purchased a Army Green 2021 Tacoma this past December! So far it has been great, and i have throughly enjoyed having it and modding it up into an overland vehicle!

So far, I have found some thing that needs to be addressed. On the title, it says that my truck is an SR5 and not a TRD Off Road. I've looked around and checked out the vehicle and from what I can tell, it is a legit TRD Off Road. It has a rear crawler, LED DRLs, yellow and blue shocks, etc. Should i be concerned about this and should I remedy this?

Secondly, I am currently in the market for new LED headlights and tail lights. I have done some research and nothing really jumps out at me. I really would like smoked out tail lights to match the smoked out turn signals that I installed. Does any one have any recommendations?

Thank you all and I look forward to hearing from all of you!

 

welcome

what does your account say https://www.toyota.com/owners/ it is

Do you have a rear e-locker?

Aftermarket lights tend to be low quality and ether leak over time or develop electrical issues
If you just have to get LED headlights get the OEM ones, none of the AMs have a league beam pattern

 

According to Toyota, it says the Grade is "TRD OFF".

As far as a rear e-locker, I really dont know what that would look like, so I dont know what to look for. (Sorry, Im not the most mechanically inclined, but I am trying to learn and develop those skills.)

 

there is a button on the dash something like this

only ORs and Pros have them from Toyota

only SR listed, I wouldn't worry about the state, now insurance only for the proper valuation if you need to make a claim on it

 

I have one similar to that near the overhead map lights. It doesnt say "Rear Diff Lock", It only has the emblem

 

I think you will find this thread amusing (a Honda dealer selling a used Off Road as a SR5). From what you describe I am sure you have an Off Road. Welcome to TW.

Your truck is an SR5 and will show so when looking up the VIN or the window sticker when it was new. TRD OR is a package that is done to an SR5. It is the same for the Sport and PRO. Yes, your truck is an OR.

 

I also see many inaccurate dealer listings for Manual Transmission. But looking at the pictures, it’s clearly an Automatic. Kind of frustrating when searching for a particular configuration.
