What’s the Difference in the Toyota 4Runner SR5, Trail, Limited, and TRD Pro? - Thomasville Toyota
I'm looking at the possibility of upgrading my 4th gen Sport to a 5th gen, either a 2010 Trail or something newer beyond 2015 models. Can someone please review the link above and share their insight on it? I want to be aware of what features come with said model so I can be well informed when it comes to purchasing a 5th gen. I'm interested in all models with SR5 being my least preferred.
TRD PRO
Limited
Trail
SR5
Main uses would be pavement with occasional off-roading, 4WD to combat annual snow and light use of towing
Thanks!
Trail was basically just renamed TRD Off Road. Once 2014 hit the 5th gen 4runners came with different bumpers, headlights/taillights, grille and some other exterior makeover.
SR5- 2hi, 4hi, 4lo and ATRAC. No locking differential, no crawl control, no multi terrain select. The 4wd selector is a silver knob that you spin to switch. No hood scoop, the roof rails and end caps are all silver. The SR5 has 17x7 silver wheels.
Trail/TRD Off Road- Same as SR5 but has the rear locking differential, the crawl control, and the multi terrain select. It also has a hood scoop, red stitching on the interior "TRD" stitched into the headrests, carbon fiber trim around center console area, and different wheels (17x7.5). The roof rack end caps are also black, not silver like the SR5. It has silver bumper valances on the front and rear The 4wd selector is an actual shift knob.
I believe both the SR5 and TRDOR/Trail have premium packages that come with: vinyl seats (softex on the TRDOR), sun roof, heated seats, side view mirror turn signals, entune navigation, and built in garage code openers.
Limited- The Limited is the most obvious to quickly differentiate when seeing. It has different bumpers (front and rear) and I believe different rocker panels. It has 20" wheels, chrome door handles, and different chrome pieces all over the exterior. The limited has a torsen center differential and is full time 4wd. The limited also has some luxury additions like heated and cooled seats (real leather I believe), dual climate control, push to start, sensors on the door handles to lock/unlock, auto headlights, window roll up/down buttons on the rear hatch, etc.
TRD PRO- The TRD PRO is basically the exact same thing as the TRD Off road except it has upgraded suspension (Bilsteins on the older ones, Fox on the 2019s), a aluminum TRD skid plate, TRD Pro wheels (back to 17x7 for some reason, but a lower offset than the SR5 so actually stick out a little more compared), it comes with AT tires, the "heritage" grille that says TOYOTA instead of the Toyota badge in the grille. It also has black bumper valances instead of the silver on the TRDOR. There are also colors you can also exclusively get on the TRD Pro. Inferno Red, Quicksand, Cement Grey, Cavalry Blue, Voodoo Blue are the ones I remember exclusively to the Pro.
