Here's why I bought an SR5 Premium (and NOT a TRD PRO) 

I did the same. The Toyota dealer already had the lift with tires. 48k ready to go. Glad I didn't get the TRD.

With the off road you get a manual transfer case which is better

With the off road you get the rear locker, which takes you from seriously capable to very seriously capable. But most people don't need a rear locker. A standard T4R 4wd is more than enough for anything but serious wheeling.

toyota trims are a fkkin joke. the sr5 4wd has the same tire size and ground clearance of the trd pro. the only difference is one has locking diff, one has LSD. but its the same fukkkkkkin vehicle

I bought 2020 4 runner limited and love it

Yeah, I'm hoping maybe with the 6th gen they'll over third row in the Pro but its probably just wishful thinking. I would have really liked Cavalry or Voodoo blue

@@DrivenCompanion They look amazing, but I recently visited my local toyota dealer to look at a brand new Pro in Army green, its ugly at first but it grows on you. But then I walked out when I saw the dealer mark-up of 7 thousand dollars... Deal breaker right there. Took a $52k car up to $60 with their other fees..

I looked carefully at the specs - the rear locker adds 200lbs in the offroad.

Street SUV

I have a 2019 toyota 4runner sr5 premium same color too.

Bro forreal, at a quick glance I thought it was STRADMAN

Of the three I'd recommend the 4Runner

@@DrivenCompanion Thanks!! Love your videos keep it going!!

Do you think that's overdone? I've considered going that route because it looks great but I see so many other SR5s that have done that and wondering if I'd rather go for a more unique look.

Oh yeah man it’s your truck and just do it the way you like but you gotta have them led lights, don’t forget to post on utube so we can see it!!

Why year SR5 did you go with? I’m thinking if I should get a 2016 trail edition or just a SR5 and do some upgrades to it.

@@grandmastagrimm8773 like Mike said you can take the money 💰 saved and use it to upgrade.

Yes, I completely agree! I do not like the look or design of the 4Runner dial shifter at all

They do come with a manual four wheel drive lever

Lawrence Kniser my 19’ SR5P doesn’t have a Manual lever. The later 5th Gen SR5’s have the turn dial.

@@DrivenCompanion hello! here the man changed the transfer case from part-time to full-time 4wd. It's not so hard. You can also make the lever-type case. In Russia like swap SUV. My English is bad ☺️. www.land-cruiser.ru/index.php?/topic/183987-full-time-na-hilux/page/3/#comments

My 2011 has a manual 4wd lever.

I agree, I was thinking the same thing “tank” when I test drove mine. Only thing to do in the future for me is front and rear lockers...then find a badge “TRD Tank”

@@firebir11 TRD Tank 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where do you go to add TRD rims and a roof rack?

2wd 4Runners don't have 4wd. With the exception of the Limited and Nightshade models which are fulltime 4wd, other 4wd models are rear wheel drive unless you manually switch them too 4wd.

How do you like it? Is it bad in gas?

You can change just change the playback speed on RU-vid instead of telling someone to talk differently than what is natural to them.

@@kimbuck-2 yes

Nope, didn't even know that was a thing!

But either way your smart phone will have better navigation

No you have to get a TRD OR, TRD OR Premium or TRD Pro for crawl control - but I've got it on my Tacoma and personally I think its overrated.

Why do you think it is overrated? Just curious.

@First People I'm not really a fan on the Rav4s personally. I grew up driving a 1989 Fj land cruiser and I miss the body on frame style of SUV. The only rav4 I would look into if I had to was the XSE hybrid.

I had a TRD OR Tacoma and the Crawl Control never worked for me when I needed it. I’ve also seen this happen many times to other people in real life and on the internet. It’s really over rated and a waste of money/space/ and future maintenance. I have a 4Runner SR5 now and on the trails I do better than most people with the OR and Pro trim models, so it really depends on the driver.

I don’t know why anyone would ever use crawl control. Usually you’re in 4 low so you crawl by default. Plus, you don’t usually want a constant speed. You always need time to pause and choose your line and crawl control takes that away. Hill descent control is somewhat useful. I usually rely on low gearing to control descent, but sometimes it’s not enough and that’s when hill descent control helps. That’s available on all trim packages. The main thing you get with the TRD models is the locker, which is very useful when you can’t keep all 4 wheels grounded. However, A Trac actually does a very good job in those situations. So...an SR5 is very well equipped - more than most people realize. I’ve done Hells Revenge and Fins & Things in a 2011 SR5 with only upgraded shocks and tires, no lift, no locker. If you know how to use 4 low and A Trac, the SR5 will get you most anywhere you want to go.

Its still pretty capable and it does have A-trac despite no locking diff.

They do it’s called the off road edition

If you want a 3rd row you'll only find it on the SR5, SR5 premium or Limited. Personally I think the SR5 premium is the way to go... The GX460 might be worth a look too since its basically a dressed up 4Runner and used ones are often priced about the same.

Wow thanks i appreciate the info Mike C. Ill be looking at the SR5 premiums with the 3rd row!

Mine came with Dunlop AT20s and yes they're all terrain

I live in cold climate and I have the sr5 premium and I've never gotten stuck. You don't need an off road unless you are planning on rock climbing otherwise you should be fine.

@@9thman701 thanks! I figured I don't need the off road package but my buddy swears by the 4 low or crawl to get out of craziness

Here's the full rundown: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LPDO8dXp5Ds.html

Is having trd pro wheels on an SR5 considered being a poser ?

Maybe but you're not alone... its a pretty common swap and they look good. Pro's are overrated anyway.

@@DrivenCompanion I concur , I just swapped mine and it seems to handle better - I think they’re 30 pounds lighter that the stock SR5

Not yet but working on #20 :)

Actually better

Ezra Plug me, I didn’t know he had a brother

He's got three

They look so much like each other lol

Derrick P Yep only the Limited has real leather.

Lots of Tacoma videos.

KDSS option is not available for SR5. Only on TRD OR models.

No!

Yes he said it. Did you not watch the video?

I've had 19 cars but not all at once - I wish!

Successful making 56k a year???

Excellent gas mileage are you sure about that?

No

Idiot can’t do a simple google search

😂😂😂

Looks like he should be bald but isn’t yet

This is wild... Share more next time

Lol 😮😂😂😂

I have yet to see this as truth.

That’s a lie all 4runner are made in Japan come as they come so it must be the dealer the one that’s adding it
