SR Trim

The one I saw was a crewmax, but I really wanted to see a double cab. Is the cab that small now? The 21 DC rear seats are plenty big for my folks. I feel I would be happier with the smaller cab and bigger bed. I can't stand a small bed in a truck. Though I cannot deny that the larger cab was super nice. Did not feel like a base model at all to me.

 

The front cab is the same as the CM. The rear is roughly the same as my Tacoma DC, but 6" wider

 

I like SR interiors better due to no silver trims.

 

Online I saw this has auto up/down windows. Can anyone confirm?

 

I have a soft spot for "base" trim trucks. A better term would be "essentials" trim.

A DC SR with some TRD wheels would be sublime.

 

I am really most curious about the detuned motor and whether it is even noticeable at all?
I actually think the exterior looks as good as any other I have seen of this model with no shiny at all!

 

I thought it felt plenty fast and peak torque felt like it accelerated harder than the 5.7 If all it needs is a tune the SR will be king haha.

 

dont let that scare you away has plenty of power. I am glad I went with the sr. I use it for work and love it.

 

And everybody that bought the 4.6 instead of the 5.7 regretted it

toyo will probably phase out the sr like they did the 4.6 in a couple years anyway.

I have the 4.6 no regrets here,,

 

I really liked the 4.6l. Best motor ever made, imho...

 

I absolutely love the all black interior. I've been on the fence about going up to an SR5, but I hate that silver trim. That auto trend needs to die.

 

Can someone with a base SR5 (non premium, non sport/off road packages) confirm if it has a power height adjustable seat. In the brochure, the SR5 says it has a standard 8 way power seat, but the Toyota site compare (SR5 model) says it has a Manual 4 way seat like the SR. On the site model compare it says you need a premium package to get a 8 way power with the Softex.

If someone with an actual base SR5 can confirm whether it has power or not I would appreciate it. I think no height adjustments in an SR would be the death of me. Same with the F150, the seat it way too high in an F150 XL and you need to go all the way to to an XLT 2 package to get a moveable seat which sucks.

 

You have to get one of the premium packages to get power seats.

 

Could an owner of an SR please remove driver seat and see if there is a prewired power plug under carpet or seat harness. Also if the 4x4 is prewired in dummy switches under center console on 2 wheel drive unit. Thank you.

 

If anyone is interested, local dealer here (Darcars, Frederick MD) has two white CM/SB SR trim Tundras on the lot, parked out front. Been sitting there for a week or 2 already. I haven't asked them about pricing/upcharges or whether there are mandatory accessories. I am not currently in the market, nor would I get an SR trim if I were.

 

Lately the harnesses in new Toyotas don't include spare circuits for missing accessories. It's true they used to, but not anymore.

I've heard a few people say that about this Tundra. I tried to add OEM fogs to my wife's new Toyota and there was no fog wiring pre-installed like I expected.

 

I broke down the catalog and listed everything I could come up with that the SR5 adds from the SR. I tried to apply a value to each item based on other vehicles where they are stand alone options. Some are, some are not. For example the price difference to go from a 2.7 to 3.5 on an F150 is $1400. I find it interesting that the F150 4x4 SuperCrew with 2.7 can tow 7700, an SR can tow 8300, a 3.5 F150 can tow 11,300, the SR5 can tow 11,160. I guess they benchmarked after all.

SR5 adds: $4375 to an SR w/Tow Package

$1,400 - More power w/11,160 towing capacity
$1,500 - 265x70x18 tires on alloy wheels
$300 - Internal Trailer Brake Controller
??? - Tow Haul Mode (surprised this is not offered on SR)
??? - Active aero spoiler and air dam
??? - Driver select modes
??? - Fender Flares (did not see fender flares on SR, can probably add them if wanted from parts list)

By my math the engine/towing upgrade, wheels/tires, Trailer brake controller would set you back $3200 if they were stand alone options like other trucks. That means the other options (Tow Haul, Driver Select modes, Active spoiler/air dam, fender flares) would need to be worth $1275.

Just one way to look at it compared to other truck options. Its not a bad value proposition if you don't need any of those things. The fact that you have to add yet another $2k package to get power seats on an SR5 really pisses me off though. I am going to have to find an SR and sit in it to see if it will work. An F150 without a height adjustable seat does not so my choices get a lot more expensive for that vehicle too.

 

The stuff that Toyota cheaps out on is kind of baffling sometimes. My 2020 Tacoma SR5 came standard with power seats (1st year) but didn't come with a built-in garage door opener, which must cost $2-3 in parts. Like I said, baffling.

 

Forced me to clip on the visor one of the remotes that came with the opener. Not the cutest thing in the world, but a lot cheaper than "upgrading" to a TRD.

 

My 2007 DC sr5 4x4 was wired like a limited for seat warmers and digital HVAC controls. There was even a prewire for sub. Look at this video and you will see a prewire for 4x4 on a 4x2. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YIQKJ8wqjmw?start=348

 

I know this question has been asked a lot about the SR5's and up, but what is the mpg owners are getting out of the SR? Just curious what real world highway mpg is like. If it's truely over 20 and similar to a Tacoma I'd be very interested.

 

Does the 2022 SR come with intermittent wipers? lol

 

yes

 

City driving. I use for a work truck to service swimming pools. About 15 stops per day. Loaded down with all my chemicals and supplies.

 

Finally!!!!! lol

 

I’m curious to know if the wire harness is ready for the add ons. I want fog lights. The bed lights would be a good addition as would the USB ports in the back of the console.

 

When I installed the bed lights on my Tacoma, the instructions for installation showed whether it was plug and play. Maybe there are instructions on line somewhere.

 

Thank you! That's not terrible especially with your use. Our 21 averages 16-17 on the highway driving gingerly.

 

Would you be willing to do a deep dive on your truck? I've scoured the Internet for info on the 22 SR. There is very little information out there.
