Wait for TRD offroad or get trd sport?

are you quoting one of the many people who read the first post with out reading the next 8 pages and input their late ass opinion?

 

I live in TX, found the exact truck I wanted online at a dealership in Oregon. There's no taxes in OR and I registered/licensed it in SD where I'm still a resident because I'm in the military. The taxes are half in SD than TX. I bought it, waited 5 weeks for it to get here. I'm happy I waited because I got exactly what I wanted. If there's one that you particularly want, go for that one and you'll be happy you did. The wait may seem long, but a month after you have it you'll forget the wait.

 

I agree OP , you should get an Offroad , if possible .

 

Yea like him ^^^^

 

I posted a new thread

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/137318-new-trd-family.html

with pics and such for those that have been keeping up with my little saga here. So yes I got the exact one I wanted, the offroad go take a look she is pretty

 

What's going on everyone. I have been perusing the forums here for the past couple of days. I am going to trade my 05 subaru legacy for a taco. I thought I was set on a doublecab shortbed 4x4 SR5 (since I am cheap I thought I wanted SR5), but after reading some more I think I might want a OR or a Sport instead.

Maybe you guys can help me decide.

The type of driving I do:
Lots of city/fwy driving. I am in Tahoe 8-10 times a year in the winter. Is the sport pretty much a cosmetic upgrade over the SR5? The OR Seems much more like a functional upgrade, considering the traction control and other trail/off road features I read about.

Also, out of the 3 SR5, Off Road, Sport what type of ride quality should I expect driving on city streets?

I also plan to take this truck on a road trip to canadia(winter) and a trip from SF-DC next year if that helps the decision.

For me price does matter, but if I am paying for something functional that will get me out of trouble on the road it is worth it for me.

 

Dude you just answered your own question. Get the TRD OR

Oh and Welcome to TW

 

it'd be nice if the packages were more flexible. i wanted the double cab for the seating comfort and i needed a long bed. downside, theres no OR for DCLB so i have the sport. i like the looks of the sport package (key colored trim) but i would've liked the features in the OR package.

 

either wait for the off road or save a ton of money and get an SR5 and take the money you saved and upgrade it yourself for off road.

 

It all depend on what you want. I wanted a Timberland green access cab with the off road package, but had to wait for it. It took two months, but I drove my brand new 2011 Access cab with the Off Road package home last night and now my garage smells like a brand new Tacoma!

 

I would highly recommend the TRD Sport "road trip" package. It does ride a little smoother/softer than the Offroad I just traded in. I've never tried the SR5 but I imagine it would be the most comfortable riding, but I've heard complaints about noseplow. I love to drive twisty backroads and can feel the difference of the bigger swaybar and flatter tires. Good luck with your decision!!!

 

get a sport! my dads sport would be the perfect truck if it has the 6.5' bed and 4x4 still a badass little truck though, what you have listed was my 3rd choice for trucks and for my list being top 3 is impressive

 

The OP bought a truck about 2 months ago
