    Hello,

    I'm looking at the 2016 to 2018 Tacomas and 2005 to 2015 but I'm getting to the point I need a good truck, I got a 01 Dodge Dakota and it's doing really bad and I don't have enough money for 2016 to 2018 used or new but I don't know when I'm getting a truck probably when my current truck dies out but when I do get 2016 to 2018 Tacoma I been thinking about getting a TRD Off Road but also thinking about SR5 with 4WD. I don't do off road like climbing rocks and planning to go mudding someday.

    I want to know should I get the TRD Off Road or should I go for SR5 4WD


    But if I decided to get a truck right away I'm looking at 2005 to 2012 with 4WD used wanting to know if they still truck and what radio do you recommend to make it a little modern been looking at the Android car stereo or a radio with Android Auto.


    Sorry I didn't put the tread on the right topic and sorry if I'm asking the right question, I'm new to Tacoma World and new on buying a Tacoma, been looking them on YouTube and decided I want them over the Chevy Colorado.

    Welcome to TW! If you don't do any hardcore offroading the SR5 will save you a ton of money.

    Mud costs money.

    SR5 is a trim level, not an ability to drive through wet dirt. A lot of guys drive SR5s without regret.

    1 weeks after I got my sr5: 5D5E8878-1A08-43A7-9496-4401BDA5098F.jpg
    And it is the last I go mudding, such a pain in the ass to get the mud off.
    Looking at your original post I think you will be alright with a SR5

    I went with the off road package it rides really nice its a heavier truck than the sr5 and little more money . but both are really solid trucks but I feel that the off road package gives u more bang for your buck at least in my opinion .
