[RichN]

What are the differences between the SR5, SR5 Premium and Limited editions in 2018 and 2019?

Things like, heated mirrors, power seats, heated seats, moonroof, ATRAC?
Any safety or off-road features?

The sales brochure for the year you are interested in will spell out the differences. According to the '18 sales brochure, the SR5 Premium adds (over the SR5):
-Color keyed bumpers
-Premium Audio w/Entune app suite & integrated navigation
-Softex seats instead of cloth
-Homelink (garage door opener)
-120 Volt receptacle in the cargo area
-Auto dimming mirror

The Limited adds:
-Auto head lights
-Chrome inserts on the bumpers, chrome door handles, etc
-Touch sensor lock/unlock
-Moon roof
-20" wheels/tires
-Dual zone climate control
-Heated/ventilated seats
-Smart key system (push button start)


There are several options that are available only on the Limited, for example automatic running boards.

Going through the matrix, I could have missed something, so please don't tar and feather me if I have.

Thanks. Where do you find sales brochures for old models?

They are not online anywhere that I know of. Sometimes the Toyota web site shows them for the previous year (they currently have the 2023 4Runner brochure still on the web site.)

I just happen to have the '18 sales brochure because that is the year I have. I have a tendency to keep everything, a real pack rat of sorts.

Toyota has now gone to all digital brochures, no longer printing them to hand out. But when they were printed, you can find them from time to time on Ebay.

I did miss one:
-The Limited comes with X-REAS suspension.

Another Limited only option is full time 4WD, with Torsen limited slip center differential.

I know the audio system in the Limited has JBL speakers, and a bunch of them.

The SR5 Premium says it has Entune Premium Audio, but still lists 8 speakers, she same as the standard Entune Audio in the SR5. Does anyone know what makes it Premium? Is it just the Navigation?

Thank you. That is fantastic.

Differences:
SR5 Audio Plus had:
-Scout cloud based navigation (Toyota has since discontinued Scout, so you are up creek without a paddle)

SR5 Premium has:
-Integrated navigation (maps on an SD card; SD card must be updated from time to time to included latest roads; I have updated mine twice).
-Entune App Suite (Toyota has discontinued the app suite)
-Split screen (two apps shown on the screen at the same time)
-Cache radio (radio music is stored in memory while you are on a phone call; you can play back missed radio music after the phone call).
-Predictive traffic and Doppler weather overlay on the map (still works on my radio -- congested traffic roads shown on map so you can avoid them)
