What Does SR5 Stand For in a Toyota Tacoma?
Can Someone Clarify Its Meaning for a Tacoma TRD OR? 
Hi, I’m new to Tacomas. I have an '08 Access Cab and was under the impression that TRD OR and SR5 were different. My truck is labeled as TRD OR, but it also has SR5 on the back. Can someone explain what this means?
SR5 signifies a lower trim level, but it’s a step up from the SR.
The Sport model is often seen as more of a street vehicle, and that’s how it’s typically used.
The Off-Road (OR) trim is also primarily used for street driving, though owners might try to pass it off as capable of off-roading (which is my category).
The PRO trim is for those who want to spend even more on features they likely won’t use and might still end up upgrading with aftermarket parts.
Hey yoooh @Dolph f* you bro 
, my PRO badge shows that I’m superior to everyone else, and they should recognize it. What the hell are you shit niggah talking about, are you high on some blunt or something? 
It definitely does
Real talk my brother @Dolph, ain’t no sugarcoating stuff in here, keep it a hunnid 
I take my Sport off-roading frequently. It’s amusing to watch Tacoma owners act like trim packages actually matter.
Hey, I’ve got a PRO and have actually used my skid plate… on those high-clearance curbs at the mall…
For me, OR means it’s my winter daily driver, so I don’t have to shovel the driveway and can push through the 3-foot snow drift at the end.
It’s fine, you can just say it’s for when the mall doesn’t clear their parking lots quickly enough.
To be fair, it’s so I can still get to work and deliver things to people who can’t be bothered to go to the mall. And some medications. The only thing that really matters to me is the meds and medical supplies.
I disagree. I had the TRD Off-Road but never wanted to take a $40k+ truck on New England trails ATVs are better suited for that with all the trees and boulders. With my new TRD Sport, I commute 80 miles daily to work and carry stones, mulch, firewood, and power tools during the week and on weekends. But with that differential lock, I’ll go anywhere off-road. I’ve owned an '85 SR5 (back before Tacoma and TRD existed), a '95 TRD OR, a 2000 TRD OR, a '06 Sport, and my current 2012 TRD Sport. I was looking forward to the new Imax TRD Sport for retirement, but it has no access door, WTF?
Well, it’s just a joke, so there’s nothing to agree or disagree with.
Best explanation I’ve ever seen coming from someone who embraces being a mall crawler.
They’re all great Tacomas, Brent.
I’m not very familiar with 2nd gens, but it seems people might be mixing up 2nd and 3rd gen terms.
For 1st gens, SR5 is a trim level, and TRD refers to features like the rear locker. I’m pretty sure TRDs had SR5 badges in 1st gens.
I’d assume it’s similar for 2nd gens.
In 3rd gens, TRD (whether Pro or Off-Road) is a trim level on its own, so they no longer come with SR5 badges.
They discontinued the SR5 badges with the 2.5 gen, but all Off-Roads and Sports start as SR5s, with additional equipment packages added to them in both 2.5 and 3rd gens.
This post deserves more upvotes. I have an '06 DCSB with the TRD OR package, and it came with SR5 badges as stock. I’m also the original owner.
I think this might be the case, to be honest.
I have an '08 Access Cab TRD Sport, which is also an SR5.
You’re right. I have a '99 Prerunner SR5 with a diff lock and TRD stickers on both rear quarter panels.
