To TRD or not TRD

I know there has been other posts about this topic but I need convincing. I’m about a week away from purchasing my first Tundra.

Is it worth paying an extra $5k for a 2016, SR5-TRD vs a 2015, SR5

here’s the specs.
2015 Toyota Tundra

SR5 Double Cab 6.5' Bed 4.6L V8 4WD $28000, 48k

vs

2016

Toyota Tundra
SR5 TRD. Double Cab 6.5' Bed Flex Fuel 5.7L V8 4WD
50k, $33,200

Truck will be used for work, play outdoor shit, sleeping in on long occasions and towing.


Thanks in advance!

 

Get the 2016 for sure.. 5.7 vs 4.6

 

5k more. Still worth it?

 

5k more. Still worth it?

 

I would only consider a 2nd or 2.5 gen if it had the 5.7. You will pay more for that engine and it is worth it. Yes, worth the extra cost between the two, especially if you are going to tow with the truck.

 

2016. TRD, 5.7 engine, 1 year newer build. Like others have said it is worth the 5k.

 

4th time - yes.

 

Hahaha

 

Get the 5.7 if you use your truck for truckly things.

 

4.6 or the 5.7? get the 5.7 only 2k on the odometer more and worth the extra money to. You’ll love the 5.7 v-8. Just got back in one today after trading in a 22 Tacoma sport. So happy to be back in a Tundra!!!

 

It's a no brainer....2016 w5.7

 

Thanks for all the advice. I put money down on the 2016, TRD. Flying to Houston on Friday to pick it up!!

 

That seems like a real good price on that 2016 TRD. Some I am seeing are going for high 30’s and even more mileage.

 

The trd package is not significant, the motor is the WHOLE difference here. Not even the same truck.

 

Big fan of the 5.7L Tundra.

 

I went with the 5.7. Flew out to Texas to drive it back. Love it!

 

Good move, enjoy!

 

Thanks for all the advice. I couldn’t be happier. First thing I did was buy all weather mats, and am updating the stereo.

 

The trd package is shocks and stickers. The factory shocks are shot on both trucks. You paid extra for the 5.7, which was the right move!

 

The best color

 

Inferno Orange, reminds me of Zion. I love it!
