I just bought the 2021 SR5 Double cab 4x4 V6; this truck had exactly what I need and will use; no use in paying higher insurance cost for a vehicle with off road options i will never use.

[@eclipse_4747]

i got the same truck a month ago but 4x2. the 4x4 would be nice but to me its just a badge. I only drive highways. cheers

[@c.m.303]

I have the 2003 Tacoma TRD SR5. It has over 200,000 miles on it and is always dependable and runs great! Family members are on their third vehicle in the same time period. I love it and to still have people come up to me about once or twice a year offering to buy it. Not a chance it's not for sale!😁

[@michaelmcarthur866]

drewsky 100 yeah so you’ve pretty much converted a sr5 into a trd pro for half the price! Don’t get the trd cold air intake it’s just a noise machine for 400 dollars.. have a 2019 in cement grey and have done the same thing! Not trying to over pay and would rather pick and choose my modifications

What mileage per gallon are you getting? Just curious because I want to do this very thing.

[@drewsky1008]

@@Shiddyvet I'm averaging 14 or 15 miles per gallon and I lost a bit of power because all the stuff I added put weight on the truck and lost a bit of power and lagg... so it haves it's pros and cons, so what I recommend is to regear the truck 4.89 or 5.9 or so depending how hard or offroad u go and it's a huge improvement

Never tell a car salesman what you like in a poll. They'll use it against customers and Jack up the price on the more popular models.

Randy R the only thing I liked about my trd 4x2 offroad is it has the 110 power outlet in the bed its handy that if you ever want to plug in any electrical item but other then that comes with positraction option nothing else impresses me about it..

[@miloman812]

I have the same truck as you. I’m glad to hear you say this. Obviously I haven’t driven a trd, but I do like the headlights, and hood more. I didn’t or wouldn’t think the trd would really be that much better driving wise. I feel good about my investment

[@judekiv]

Im getting a TRD Off Road later this year. Im so excited, it’ll be my first Tacoma.

[@maggysantana3878]

Both car are great cars. Sadly that he didn't show the truth in the back bed of the SR5. both have the storage plus a electrical plug. Both have the same hoarse power when both are v6. This means that either one will do your job. So I will not pay for an extra fixtures. Thanks for your video.

[@jetmechB727]

Both are nice trucks. I would choose the SR5 out of those two.. But in reality I chose the 2019 Tacoma Access Cab SR with a V6 for the value. Awesome truck.

Excellent man. I really appreciate your time and detail. Accents are tough but you make being real easy. I've been looking to understand the differences in Tacs for a while. Best from SD. J

Great comparison and always enjoy watching your videos. I would like to see a comparison of Tacoma TRD Pro manual 6 speed vs Automatic Transmission, if this is possible. Comparing them from standpoint as a daily driver, light off road, acceleration, real world fuel economy, and dealing with a clutch vs automatic. Keep up the good work!

Jeff, Here is yet another battle on your channel. Why can't the TRD Sport and SR5 just get along?

[@JerryD770]

Right Lane Hog, this salesman has no time to reply to your comment or anyone elses as other utube channels they all want you to subscribe & give them thumbs up but when these characters ignore the audiance I give em all thumbs down & never subcribe these guys are the typical car salesmen they are full of hot air..

[@jonathanellis5811]

Uh... yeah, I still don't really know what I'm getting with the TRD over the SR5. It seems like mild cosmetic differences, a wireless charging pad, power in the bed, and the audio/navi system seems to be slightly more feature rich? Am I missing something? It seems like the SR5 offers basically the same stuff at a much lower price.

[@Raccoonactual]

Not a whole lot of difference if you're getting a automatic and don't want the extra options. If you want the extra the TRD will be slightly cheaper in the long run since most of it comes standard. If you want a manual transmission you have to go with the TRD. The manual transmission gets you a bigger rear differential (8.75 vs 8 inch) and a lower gears (4.30 manual vs 3.90 auto).

[@danielSharpthatswhyt]

I haven't tried the other one but I own the sport and I can tell you that the suspension is something I noticed. Buttery, the truck drives so buttery

[@jeffb4229]

Great review Jeff, as always! I do want to say though, I do want a TRD Sport, 6 speed manual transmission. BUT, and this is a big but for me.........you can only get the manual transmission with the 4X4 package. I live in flat Florida. I have no need for the extra fuel expense and maintenance a 4X4 requires. I wish that Toyota would offer the manual transmission in the 4X2 package like they used to. I don't understand why manual transmission is only available in 4X4? That's a frustration, and mystery to me.

[@c.m.303]

Have you all seen the video "killing a Toyota" it's by the guys from Top Gear and on KZbin. It's fantastic! 👍

[@cory5233]

I don't see the point of paying more for the Sport. No reason to ever use a vehicle's built in navigation over my phone, I have my own wireless fast charger, prefer a regular key over push button, the included inverter is only as powerful as Harbor Freight's cheapest power inverter, fake hood scoop. I'd choose the Off Road over my SR5 but definitely not the Sport.

[@stpbsc]

Love the movie quotes.

[@TALL1FU49]

Myself,Im a very tall male. I stand at 7 foot 3 inches tall. And im a amputee on my left leg below the knee. I buy a vehicle because it has to fit my tall frame. Now dont laugh. My last vehicle was a Fial Sport 500. Bought that before loosing my leg. But i did fit into it very well, and it got damm good gas mileage. But i had alot of problems with it and Fiat would give me the run around. In my book FIATS SUCK. But i went to every truck dealership, chevy, ford gmc and even nissan. The last dealership was my local Toyota dealership. So i looked online first. Now I have had every colored vehicle in my life. But toyota had a brand new color out. Inferno Orange. Plus i was planning on visiting some friends up north in Pa and NJ. So I bought a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with 4 wheel drive. It does not have the crawl control knob. I dont go off road, Thats what my Argo Frontier with Adair tracks is for. I love my toyota. I get great mileage. Yes the put the K&N air intake on it and a better exhaust system and a dash camera. But thats it. My holster for my Glock fits nicely under the sterring wheel and my pin on my liner for my stump fits nicely in the cubby hole on the left side dash area. But I get so many people telling me that they love the color. I was even stopped by a cop once, and he asked me what color is this color on your truck,I love it. And i told him Inferno Orange. He bought two of them. But ive only seen about 7 in my home town of Jacksonville, Fl. And the 4 wheel drive work very well when i was in Pittsburgh, no need to buy winter tires. I still have the factory tires on it and my mileage is around 28349 miles. Again Toyota makes great vehicles for a much cheaper price then the other truck makers out there. A friend of mine bought a Ford pick up truck, within a week he took it back because his engine and trannie was making a very wierd noise. He traded that ford for a chevy. His plain chevy truck does not have 4 wheel drive, no backup camera,no keyless entry and no xm on his radio. But he paid so much more then what i paid. Now he drives a 2020 toyota tacoma TRD sport 4 wheel drive. He is very pleased with it, he got his in Black. SSO i can only say, for the buck Toyota puts out a great truck. Thank you Toyota.

[@nbaldo003]

I have an 18 Sport. The sport’s suspension is the best package for a comfortable on road vehicle. The sr5 suspension does not absorb bumps as well and neither does the Offroad or Pro which share the same off road capable suspension. With that being said it’s still a truck so it handles bumps like a truck so dont expect SUV/car dampening. But the Sport is the one to choose if you stick to a paved road 90% of the time. Also for fuel economy i average 22-23. I see 25-26mpg on the highway as long as I’m doing 55-60. I do believe my cold air intake and use of 93 octane fuel have a big impact on it.

[@steve9377]

The TRD Sport loses automatically for the fake hood scoop

[@steve9377]

Eddy Edwards basic but functional. To me, that hood scoop is a waste of manufacturing dollars because it serves no functional purpose whatsoever. They could have used that money on something useful like a grab handle for the driver side, a seat height adjuster or upgraded interior materials

[@henryhonda8408]

Worst then fake hood scoop in my books is the fake dual chrome exhaust tips when the exhaust pipe doesn't even go near them. I believe I saw that on the new Corolla.

[@btvr17]

[@nbaldo003]

Yea but your girl likes my hoodscoop. Says yours is boring.....

[@PeRRXX]

The SR5 looks to work truck without in my opinion, maybe it’s because my Uncles work truck is a Tacoma. But I think the hood scoop makes the truck look a lot better, even if it isn’t functional. But I’m the type of guy that’ll build a car for looks rather then performance.

[@ianbladuell2694]

Lets see, 16" rims on a truck in 2019 and regular key for the SR5, no way. Sport rims look better but 18", come on. Like Sport front grill, it looks aggressive. Those premium radios look cheap and outdated. Those prices 35-40k are crazy for mid size trucks.

[@eddiecastro3642]

The SR5 has typically ALL the great features of a TACOMA. If you do not go much of off roadings, then the SR5 is good for your family truck. But, if you want some off road actions...then choose the Sport or the Off Road models. The shocks can be a big difference and the height too, and most other accessories are cosmetic thus making them more expensive.....But if you want a comfortable everyday ride, come ride with me in the SR5, and we will spend the BIG PRICE difference for gas to go around. 👌😊🍎
