2018 vs 2021

If he’s anything like my father in-law he can only get within about 3 years of what it really is. Lol.

 

I believe the shark fin antenna also began in 2020.

 

My 2018 SR5 TRD Off Road had all three of those.... in USA.

 

That is correct. Nice color lol.

 

IT was, my 18 SR5 had it.

 

It's the same in Canada. I think my father in law may be wrong on the year.

 

My 2018 has all of the above.

 

Please make it stop.

 

The sharks smell blood in the water

 

What's that? Did you say your 2018 also has all that stuff?

This sounds similar to my predicament a few months ago. I couldn’t find anything that was a couple years old with low miles that wasn’t within $4-5k of a new one. I decided that for the extra money, I’d just get a new one.

The most significant change as others have pointed out is the trans cooler. It doesn’t appear that Toyota did anything whatsoever to offset this deletion. Very disappointing. And I didn’t know Toyota had deleted it when I bought mine. I assumed it had one. Had I had that information prior, I might have made the decision to stick to 2018 and older.

That said, I love my truck. I’m in an SR5 with the Off Road package. Keyless start, CarPlay, and dual climate make it feel like I’m not driving a 14-year-old truck, even though that longevity is why I decided on it vs other half tons. I don’t like the Toyota safety sense stuff and I firmly declined the Toyota safety connect. I’ve swapped suspension, relocated my rear axle breather, added a trans cooler and some shackles, and it’s settling in to how I want it set up for how I use it.

I will say, through — it’s cheaper to go with a 2018 and add CarPlay than to do what I did and go with a 21 and add a trans cooler.
