Deciding between Sport and base package

Torn between a 2020 white SR5 TRD sports package or base cement SR5? Sport pack would be 40k. Base SR5 would be 37k. Which trim did you go with and why? Asking the sport and base model owners. I know theres the pro owners, limited, platinum etc. But I'm asking those who were in a similar situation. Thanks!

 

If the difference is only 3k, I'd say go for the Sport. The factory chrome delete alone is worth it, you just have to take the silly scoop-on-a-scoop as a package deal.

 

I just went with the SR5 package. I didn't need the extra stuff that the sport package adds on and everything that the SR5 offered was everything that I wanted to add to my sr5 taco, so it worked out for me.

 

You have a point.

 

I'm leaning towards this as well. On my Taco Offorad I changed everything anyway.

 

Whichever one you get, make sure you get the 38 gallon tank. That’s the most important option.

 

Must have!

 

Yep. These trucks are super nice inside no matter what trim level you get. If you're coming from a taco, you'll be in heaven no matter what you get haha.

 

Sport package. No chrome and you get TRD sway bars.

 

Tell me about it! Test drove a sport today and instantly fell in love. Kids fell asleep in the back in minutes of the test drive. Its crazy, where im at theyre asking 43k for a base model SR5 with leather and no color match and just south of me in Colorado a dealer is asking 43k and some change for a SR5 with a TRD sport package.

 

Yes, that's one thing that is making me second guess the base SR5 is the chrome! I'll be honest, I don't tow I just need a bigger cab and still have a truck bed to use.

 

Yea that's how these places work, but if you're halfway hardheaded and know what you want you can talk them down a good bit. After they hit their "lowest they can possibly go" the can start adding money on the trade in value of your old vehicle. That's what they ended up doing in my case. Just don't be afraid to walk away.

I went from an access can taco to the crewmax. It was a massive difference! We needed the room too since we were about to have our first kid. It's great being able to fit 4 adults and a car seat and still be comfortable.

 

Nice! For sure, I'm at the point where I'll walk away. I have 3 little humans in the back of the Taco and ones in a car seat so it is crammed and uncomfortable.

 

I’ll wait for next year model.

 

That's always an option

 

Sports without question. They're just nicer inside and out.

 

Also the LED headlights and fog light's and TRD swaybar's

 

100%!

 

Yes! And its red! Lol.

 

First year of the redesign? I’d wait an extra year to see how the new engine and transmission work.

 

That's why I'd want one before before the redesign comes out because we all know the platform is bulletproof (of course maintenance)

 

@808Kaap I passed on the SR5 base. Without the premium package, it doesn't have the 38gal tank or the individual power seats. Both of those things make a big difference in the day to day driving experience. No question: Sport. They are both good colors.

 

I know what you mean! I know the sport I'm looking at has power driver but manual passanger. I agree, the sport just looks so much cleaner. Plus it has color matching instead of the chrome. The SR5 here practically only has the larger fuel tank and leather seats.

 

Couldn’t agree with @shellshock more!!!
Chrome delete and TRD sway bars is the next!
Shop around for step bars and bed covers.

 

Why don't you get the SX option on the SR5? It deletes all the chrome and you get color matched bumps with no badging and black wheels.

 

Sport! Chrome delete and imo the hood scoop looks awesome!

 

Agree. Worth the extra 3k?

 

Thought about it. But you get so much more room in a CM. I know the SX is still bigger than a taco but I have 3 growing humans in the back with one in a car seat.

 

The SX is not available in the CM?

 

Unfortunately not in my area.
