Hello, Iβm new to Tacomas. I believe the TRD OR and the SR5s are different because I have an 08β Access Cab. My truck has SR5 written on the back and TRD OR written on the side. As previously stated, Iβm new to Tacoma and have no idea what itβs truly like.
The SR5 is a popular trim level known for offering a good balance of features and affordability. It typically includes a comfortable interior with upgraded upholstery, an improved infotainment system, and various convenience features.
TRD is designed for better off-road performance. It includes features like an upgraded suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, and a locking rear differential.
If there is an RR DIFF LOCK button on the left side of the dash, it is the simplest method to identify it.
SR5 - No button
There is a TRD OR button.
Although I donβt know much about second generations, I believe that people may be mistaking terminology for both.
First generation vehicles include SR5 as a trim level and TRD denoting the rear locker, etc. In the first generation, TRDs most likely carried SR5 badges.
In second gens, I assume itβs the same.
TRD (offroad or pro) is now a trim level on third-generation vehicles, hence SR5 badges are no longer awarded.
