Tacoma TRD VS SR5 Hill Climb 

Yeah, but to do a fair comparison they needed to go slower.

For real I was losin my mind haha

@T T old Tacoma does not have any of that electronic craps and very capable in off road. Off road are all about tires and driving

I had the same dilemna. Ended up with the Automatic and kinda wish I'd gone with the manual. You might want to research complaints and issues with the automatic - lots of 3rd gen owners that aren't fond of them including me.

I got 2019 Trd off road manual 24 mpg

Thanks Mike and Kyle. I still have time contemplate, unfortunately I guess lol I’m trying to save up to buy it without auto-loan. 24mpg with manual is incredible! Like Mike is doing to his Tacoma I’m planning to keep mine with mild mods not going overboard...and planning to make it my ride for 20years.

I traded my auto in for a manual. Best decision ever

16mpg all day pulling 4klb trailer... 22 mpg easy no trailer - manual 2019 sport

When yer drivin in yer Chevy and feel something heavy DIARRHEA!

@@ChadSextoid1 Ah Man!!🤣🤣🤣

LMAO! when your colorado is sitting in the junkyard disintegrating into dust a toyota tacoma will be at 400,000 miles and still driving like normal.

It's sounds stupid but i agree with you 😁

No doubt...give it some gas !!

Amen brother

Yea, otherwise a good video. Did either driver air down at all?

Yes.... mosic is distracing

yeah turn the dubstep crap off

Personally I don't mind the music but it should cut out during the cars work. Cmon any ad you see ever has music, why is that? People generally like to hear organized notes it shouldn't be a big deal. Every now and then one of the 30000 viewers might find a tune they like.

Lmao

LMAO

@@urielx17 oh, okay how would. you. two off road masters do it?

@@napnap609 wheel speed lmao

I was honestly thinking the same because my 17' Tundra SR5 could climb that hill easy with 4 Lo

Ed i have 2017 sr5 awesome truck

I’ve got the TRD Off road.. that locker saved my ass once already.. I was off roading in 6 inches of snow through the fields.. I was a blast.. 20 minutes go by,no problems, than I start going up an incline at a bad angle and not enough speed... my truck stood still, and little did I know the ground wasn’t frozen so it was mud under the snow. I WAS DUG IN GOOD!! I tried and I tried and I could not get out, noway no how... and I’m with my wife in the middle of no damn where..If I didn’t get out and she was going to have to hike a few miles through the snow there would BE HELL TO PAY!! I tried doing some shoveling with a makeshift crap ass shovel.. didn’t really do anything... than I had a light bulb moment..Take the PSI from 35 down to 17.. I took all four tires down, I was a bit worried though because the belly and everything else already looked hung up UN the snow as it was.... but it was my only option.. so I’ve got the PSI Down, if got 4x4, and I’ve got my rear locker on.. low and behold I rocked her out, but not without a bit of a fight!!! I really don’t think I would have gotten out without the rear locker though.. I’m certain of it.

stratman70528 PS, Check my UTUBE channel out to see me doing a vid driving through snow in that same field.

Agreed. The difference in price of a used SR5 4x4 and TRD 4x4 are pretty sizeable.

sure is nice to have though, that's why I bought my 2016 trd used with 28000 miles under 30grand.

Why not air down.

Also drivers has no balls

You also drive like morons. But hey, atleast you have all those cool tent awning gadget things on the trucks for looks!

That tent helped get some trac to the rear for that sr5

Rick Mccraw agreed. But would you say a rear locker is really necessary? I feel like a lot of TRD Off-road owners don’t even know how and when to use the rear locker. Also, are newer gen TRD OR the way to go over older gen models?

@@realottripleog7740 I like my locker actually. In 4 low when on rutted terrain it works okay when you are lifting tires a little. And as far as new or old....I could do without saying me of these bells and whistles. The older trucks make better toys for sure

dont knock the SR5 dude, its an offroader for sure.

Tacoma is the best

Impressive and expensive!

Lets do a side by side comparison of the Tacoma and Accord going up this hill. Would make for a great video!

You would need some big ass tires, wich probably won't fit in the accord 😅

I know, and your Honda Accord can probably do 200 MPH on the tweestys too. LOL

Only way you're doing that with youre honda is if a TACO pulls you up it bud !!! LOL

Automatic in 4low with traction control on I believe

@@DrivenCompanion if you would've turned traction control off the auto LSD would've helped you as a faux locker. There's videos of it showing it works in 2wd or 4wd engaged, front and rear axles. It takes a while longer to engage (computer thinks where to apply brakes) and not immediate like a real locker but better than nothing and I think it would've helped in the hill climb.

TheFinalApproach it’s not even a faux locker. It’s a real locker. And on this easy road would have been just fine

SR5 only comes with Automatic, no Manual in that Trim.

Nate Allen it does not.

Nate Allen it’s almost the base. But it’s a good starting point! I added a tacobox, Tire’s and rear locker for what an offroad would have costed in my area at the time.

Good input but why? Price difference?

Do you drive it 10 miles a month in 4x4 like the manual says? I am in Houston too and it's hard to find places to do that.

Individual-1 Pie hole Right, that's exactly it, Dam when I'm running my truck especially up sandy hill I always think mmm I'll stop halfway up and enjoy the view! Lol

Was wondering why they were going up so slow.... id take it up persuit style

Exactly

Yep. Love my SR5. It's all about the driver.

john m damn that’s cool

I hear ya.. I have a sr5.. but those TRD seats w the bells and whistles are sweet

MSRP difference is only about 1800.

Both models in double cab 4x4 Automatic configuration.: SR5 - $34,990 TRD Off Road- $36,765

@@Shakerhood69 and you'd miss out on crawl control. not to mention saving yourself the labor of the install. not a bad deal overall. very glad i chose the trd offroad

@@joshguy1597 ARB lockers are far superior to the stock toyota e-locker. Buying an sr5 or a sport and installing the ARB is a much better option and ARB's can be activated in 2wd, 4hi and 4lo whereas the TRD offroad will only engage the lockers in 4lo.

I assure you. It can. As many people have mentioned. You just need some speed...

I thought so also, apparently sr5 tacos have open diffs

SR5 does not have A-TRAC, the TRD Off Road and Pro models with Manual Transmission are the only 2 with A-TRAC.

ATRAC is on TRD Manual trans models only. The TRD Autos have a system called MTS. The SR5s have a less aggressive system called TRAC that does indeed work like limited slip on front and rear axles. in SR5sTRAC is on by default when in 4LO (unlike the TRD versions, where the MTS or ATRAC is off by default and must be turned on manually). See my video where my SR5 can pull itself off jack stands with just one front wheel on the ground. For a better understanding of the Gen 3 traction control systems, see this forum post: www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-traction-control-modes-explained.530695/

I've got a limited library of free youtube music to work with :-)

@@DrivenCompanion No I just meant it was super loud, a little mind numbing in comparison to the rest of the video.

I think a lot of people prefer the simple sound of tires on the dirt. It’s kind of like ASMR and it’s actually a cool sound.

The SR5 is definitely very capable without multi-terrain select or a locking diff, but I did get stuck in the snow once and figured I'd try crawl control just to see if it helped and it got me out - I think situations where it helps will be rare but its still another tool in the toolbox that could come in handy.

I doubt anyone is flaming over the choice, the Sport and Off Road have the same exact MSRP if configured the same so people are probably just going by value of price.

Same tires on both. And yes the tent is offering some benefit for sure.

well dang dont wanna chip the shiny paint :)

@@Ed-lz4jv the white is probably already chipping with all the issues with that paint color on the Tacoma's

They both have KO2s in the same size

None of us have pumps to reinflate - and the goal was really just to see if we could notice any difference between the two in an apples to apples comparison.

He bought a TRD sport hood and had it swapped

Yeah... Sure...

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zL0wft5cTSQ.html

not all but yes you can get an SR5 with 4x4

Until now

Max Powell has one! My question is what does it scoop?

I wish I could drive and film at the same time so I could get in on the action but just works easier to ride along and film. And thanks for the feedback...

also there is a mod to allow traction control work in low range for the sr5

I think with the SR5 Matt had to choose a better line and maintain more momentum while Richard could go a little slower and take a more challenging route because of the locking rear diff. Crawl control automatically adjusts the throttle and will allow the truck to climb itself.

Marlin Crawlers Taco Boxes are really hard to get right now. They must be having supply issues because of this Kung Flu pandemic.
