The down and dirty-
I’m the market for a ‘22 T4R after regretting selling my ‘14 for a 100 Series LC.

Good move for a guy who wants to look cool in the pick up line of my kids school, but not that practical. Needed a lot of work.


I’m patient, so I know I will find one, but I’m wondering how hard I should really try to find a TRD OR instead of an SR5.


I know the SR5 was plenty capable for my needs, but don’t want to regret spending $40k instead of $43k down the road.


I know the crawl control and locking diff are wonderful to have, but I never found myself in a situation where A-TRAC wasn’t enough. Am I wrong to think that Crawl Control is for people that are going on quite a bit more gnarly roads than what this flatland Midwesterner will do?

I dig the stock design, I got the nautical blue and the silver bumper pieces look great on it. Of course you can't forget about the hood scoop lol. Mine will see very little trail time, but it is just what I wanted.

I know, it's more money but there is always the "wish I would have" thoughts later down the road.
Order exactly what you want. I place my build order on November 2nd and took delivery on December 6th. Five weeks to the day.
It will be worth the wait.

No, you don't need a locker. You've said it yourself
.... you're just dirt roading it in the midwest.

Many people don't like the hood scoop and some get rid of it because of the glare.

Though the hood scoop looks good in the car line, I can live with out it!!

As for the price difference......

When I compare the base packages, the difference is less than $3k.....making more sense to go with the OR.

Buuuuut, they are hard to come by. I asked my dealer to find a Lunar Rock or an Army Green and the allocations just aren't there. If I go SR5 and go with Mag Grey, I'll probably have one next week.
