Poll What Trim to buy

[054Runner1]

Im Looking to purchase before year end 2020. I will be getting 4wheel Drive so question is

Poll, What trim did you buy or would you buy if you had to do it all over?

 

[Whippersnapper02]

TRD Premium because I wanted the locker, Softex seats and signal mirrors but didn't want the overpriced shock and sticker from the Pro Bro. I probably would be just fine with a SR5 Premium.

TRD premium. Having bought a Pro with the intent of not modding, that lasted about 3 months.
I should have bought the Premium and picked my own suspension, wheels, tires and armor. I’ve also had problems with the Fox shocks, front and rear, so the price difference really isn’t justified.

The Venture, primarily because I love those grey wheels.

TRD ORP...because suspension change out for a lift negates the Pro upgrade costs, and I don't want to pay thousands extra for an ugly roof rack on the Venture.

I did a lot of research before I bought my '19, factoring in my lifestyle, hobbies, etc. It came down the OR or the ORP. I looked at both, but preferred the ORPs as my local dealer because they came with SEMA/Pro wheels and Nitto Terra Graps, blacked out badges, rear bungie net & cargo cover, Predator steps, and both carpeted and rubber floor mats (may be one or two extras I forgot). The ORs came plain Jane, just like every other one you see running around. So, I ended up with 95% of a Pro and am about to put on a Dobinsons IMS suspension anyway.

I considered waiting for a Venture, but I don't like that Yakima rack and the grey color of the SEMA/Pro wheels wasn't that important to me...especially having to wait and then pay thousands more for something that was identical to mine other than the rack and wheel color (yet minus a few of the dealer add on options).

FWIW, I bought my 19 just over a year ago and got it for $36.5K OTD (before factoring in my $19K trade in).

Something to keep in mind for the 2020 MY and newer... only PRO and Limited/Nightshade trims come with automatic climate control and premium JBL audio. That may be a deciding factor to some buyers.

I have not regretted anything about buying PRO.

I chose an SR5P as a platform to pick my own suspension components and because I wanted an ARB rear locker. I'm happy with the result, but what would I do if I had to start over? I would buy an ORP.

Limited's all wheel drive is not important in Texas. I had to have AWD=limited up here.

Must haves:
level 1 Sunroof and softex = SR5 Premium
level 2 KDSS and locker = Off Road premium with KDSS

If you don't want the KDSS get a Sr5 premium and do the lift and locker later, if you can. Nice to finance the locker tho. If you don't plan to lift, get the KDSS.

that's it, 1 or 2
Frankly, I like the softex better than Limited's leather. Push button is a different paradigm. I liked leaving my keys in the car so no value in that for some

SR5 - for the third row.

TRD ORP - for the best bang if modding.

TRD PRO - for special color or keeping OEM.

We bought the Venture because we already wanted everything in an ORP, plus blackout trim and a cargo basket. We don't plan on going nuts and may never even lift her, but need the TRD features to get out of questionable situations in the middle of nowhere.

Standard Off Road for me, because cloth seats > plastic.

 

[mrblah]

whatever model that has KDSS and lockers.

 

[JLTD]

Have an SR5 and it's great.

But would buy ORP for locker and manual 4wd shifter. Have considered doing so but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

 

[Tonka23]

Limited for the seats!!!

 

[02SE]

I went with the TRD ORP because I wanted the locking diff, Manual T-case lever (Yes, there is still the electric engagement for the A.D.D. on the front axle. The same front axle engagement system as my old '97...) KDSS, Moonroof, Softex seats, and the other things it came with were fine.


And I wanted to upgrade the sound system to something better than the JBL system in the Pro, Limited, or Nightshade, anyway.

What did you end up going with for the sound system?

What did you end up going with for the sound system?

I'm still in the process of deciding. My 4Runner isn't a daily driver, so it's not my first priority. Even the JBL speakers in the Pro, Limited, and Nightshade leave something to be desired in terms of construction and sound quality, compared to quality aftermarket speakers.

Of course the JBL system is better than the truly sad speakers in the other models, my TRD ORP included.

Poll, What trim did you buy or would you buy if you had to do it all over?

Bought a TRD Pro because the depreciation curve and retained value is much different than the other trims. Not many other cars on the market where you can purchase it outright and sell WHOLESALE a year or more later for more than original purchase price.

Got myself the TRD OR and wife the SR5. Love them but do wish I had sprung for the premium on both. It's not a lot of extra money for everything you get. My issue at the time (COVID) was availability and price.

Also since many have commented on it, IMO, this stock radio / speakers aren't bad. Its better than my old 2020 Silverado, 2019 Type-R, gramma's 2020 Accord Touring, buddies 2020 WRX Limited, daughter's 2020 CR-V EXL and I could keep going with recent vehicles but gist is, not bad lol.

This is so subjective, what do YOU need. I have owned 4wd vehicles with all the extra goodies that I never used. Why did I pay for them?

I’m 47now and I have learned my lesson. For the trails that I drive, I need 4wd and atrac. 4low and atrac gets me everywhere I need to go without ever getting stuck. ATRAC is amazing, learn how to use it and you will get places others can’t with their more expensive pro’s.

I have owned Toyota trucks with lockers and never used them once, so when I purchased my t4r, I went with the sr5 because it has everything I need.

You need to figure out what you will actually use, all 4 runners are so capable off road you really can’t make a wrong decision.
