You WANTED BareBones - You Got it

For those of you keep crying out loud that trucks need to be "bare-bones" because that makes you "tough" driving it....Well, you wish is delivered - Welcome the SR package...might have Manual crank windows, no heater, no AC, no ABS....NOTHING.

 

Lol oh ok

 

a dove just flew into my window

 

Bet the SR is only for the 4 cyl. 5 lugger?

 

You mean the poverty model?

 

Can't believe the 4 cylinder isn't coming with a manual. Who wants to drive a 4 cylinder with an auto? I've driven 4 cylinder autos and they are sluggish as hell in my opinion, cannot maximize the power band at all.

 

What about manual transmission?

 

too fancy

this model just comes with a balsa wood chopstick taped to the gearbox and a paper plate clutch


the gas pedal's a whoopee cushion tied with floss to the TB

Oh wait, holy fuck those are pretty cool.

 

That's what I want, bare bones and cheap. I worked a life time to build up my assets and I have not intention of handing them over to Toyota or any other company for a truck load of automatic crap.

Solid, cheap and maintainable, that's what smart people buy and then run them for 15 or more years. I drove my 94 T100 18 years before selling it to someone else for 1000 bucks. Never had a loan for any car or truck I have ever had and it's going to stay that way. Poverty is for those with a loan on a truck. I don't borrow money, I loan it and expect interest.

 

Thanks!

 

Seems about right.

 

That's awesome. I wonder what the price will be.

 

If the 2016 SR package is going to be anything like the 2014-2015 SR's package, you'll be getting a very nice truck for "base model" prices. I might consider one if it comes with basic features like cruise control and remote power locks.

 

I own a 2014 SR and it is not bare bones. Has some really nice features. It was a step up from the Base model at the dealer.

 

Those aren't base model. They has color matching, pwr blinker mirrors, fogs, decent wheels/tires. I call BS on those being base, I had base 05 AC, it came with none of those things and less.

 

You're comparing apples to oranges with the current 2nd gen I4/4-speed auto. I've test driven the new Colorado mated to their 6 speed auto, it's light years better than our current I4/4-speed auto offering. I'll willing to bet the next gen I4/6-speed auto out performs the current I4/5-speed manual which is why toyota is dropping the manuals.

 

They are considered base models with SR "appearance package". I took the first 3 photos (MGM, Black, and barcelona red). I've been in the market to buy a new truck for the last 4 months. I was going to purchase one of them until I caught wind of the 3rd Gen after joining TW.

For example the first pic was a 2015 Access cab MGM SR listed for $27,125 MSRP
which includes:
I4/auto trans
4x4
color matching
color matched blinker mirrors
black aluminum wheels.
basic AM/FM/CD radio

it did not include:
cruise control
intermittent wipers
remote keyless entry system
sliding rear window

Compared to a base model (non-SR5) AC with convenience package listed for $27,305 MSRP.
which includes.
I4/auto
4x4
black unpainted front bumper mirrors and fender flares
black rear bumper.
intermittent wipers
cruise control
basic AM/FM/CD radio
remote keyless entry system
sliding rear window
