on top of a base sr5 4x4, the TE adds:
(options available on the sr5):
Convenience package , aka, sunroof and power outlets package
upgraded stereo package
slide out cargo tray
back up camera
power seat package
anti-theft alarm system
roof rack cross bars
over $3000 in options if added to a stock sr5 4x4.
(additions not available on the sr5 that come standard on the TE):
sweet wheels
awesome fake hoodscoop
better approach and departure angles (different front and rear trim)
better break over (no running boards)
smoked headlights
different roof rack
LOCKING REAR DIFF.
crawl control
multi-terrain select
waterproof seats
optitron gauges
this is really why I figured the TE is a better deal.

The Ltd does not have rear sonar? That seems odd if so. I use it all the time. Very helpful backing into my garage, even with the camera.
Only thing I would really like to add to my SR5 is the locking rear diff.
Edit: I'd really like to have a radio (without Nav) that I could read during the day. I now use my radio as if it has no display at all and just use the steering wheel controls to scan pre-sets.
I can't remember a worse display design ever, but it sounds good.

When my dad was looking to have his Jeep TJ re-geared and have locker's installed, 4WheelParts quoted him $1500 per axle after labor and parts. Just wanted to throw that out there to give the OP an idea. This was about 2 years ago though.
Definitely re-gear if your having ARB's installed.

It would cost a bit more then $1500 for the 4.56 ring and pinion,ARB locker and labor for the rear for the 5th Gens right now.
The only 4.56 rear gear available cost $800 plus alone plus the $865 for the locker.So that's close to $1700 just in parts and shipping . Here's the gear ...8.2 2010+ REAR, FJ CRUISER, 4RU : JTs Parts & Accessories, Justdifferentials.com
The 4.56 gear is so expensive I believe because it's OEM from the now vanquished, elusive 4 cyl 2010 4Runner. I read they had a 4 speed auto tranny with 4.56's in the rear. Hopefully somebody is working on aftermarket gears for our new 8.2 rear ends which should sell for alot less then $800.
The front diffs are the same as the 4th Gens/FJ's so gears are plentiful and cheap and uses the same ARB lockers.

My Trail locks up all four wheels in 4 low. Very nice, can be a bit tricky when the snow and ice are here. I am going to modify so all can be locked in in 4 high.
I had a "all wheel drive" before, it was a fine asphalt SUV. But I managed to get into many places off-road where I had to work too hard to get out of.
With the 4 low and all wheels locked in, the only time I have gotten stuck was when we met quicksand. My winch pulled us out. My wife thought I was crazy when I put on a winch that was able to pull 3x our weight. She is happy now.
The Trail has two rows of seats, the space where the 3rd row would be is a sliding cargo shelf. Very nice to help loading and unloading.
The moon roof is nice, after a decade it still works and does not leak.
Our Trail does not have heated seats, leather interior, televisions and separate sound systems for every seat.

Saw a post which mentioned no place for putting sunglasses. True, I placed two clothespins on the center HVAC vents. When in the dirt, they are on my face.
