    I'm sure most will lead you towards the limited as it has more creature comforts, which is true. But it all depends on what you want vs need. Also, do you plan to spend some $ on the truck, if so the extra $4K could come in handy. Sorry I'm no help.

    I wanted an SR5 but ended up with a Limited due to the dealer not having what I wanted. I'm glad I went with the upgrade.

    Both the same color?

    What do you like the best about each one?

    Yes both the same color - Silver. I don't like the black door handles on SR5 but I do like the cover on SR5 better.

    it basically a $4K difference between the 2 because I would replace the mirror caps and door handles on the SR5. but then again the Limited is a year newer which means nothing to me....however I wonder if a year newer helps resale by a $1K...or 2?

    @Punk1974 is the price OTD price? If it is then it’s pretty good deal for either one. I have SR5 model and I love it. I upgraded a few things after market stuffs. Good luck!

    Limited. That's a pretty good price on the Limited for a 2019, and not a very good price on the SR5 for a 2018. You could probably get that SR5 for a bit less if you wanted it.

    Have them lower the price on the 2018... or something to sweeten the deal... for unless you have to have leather interior ( that comes with the limited, right?)

    I'd go limited if it came with sunroof. But that's just me. Both are excellent trucks. Limited will get better resale cause it's a higher trim model, not necessarily the year. But yes, newer year will be worth more in resale as well.

    I was in the same situation last year. Bought the Limited, don't regret it one bit!
    Are they both new? or is the 18 used?

    That can easily be changed...I picked an SR5 as I did not want a sunroof.

    Get the Limited and mod it out. Luxury interior with tough exterior is the way to go.

    I signed intent to buy papers on an SR5 on a Friday. By Monday I found a Limited in the same color online. Told my dealer they could fetch it and get the sale or I would go get it. They weren’t thrilled, but they traded inventory for it. I’ve thanked myself a hundred times for holding out for the Limited. That leather interior is awesome.

    Love my tundra, but I wish I would have got a limited or platinum... just for the leather and sunroof.

    Yeah, I got a limited and wish I got a platinum. OP, if you can get lucky and find a 2018 platinum I'd honestly go for that, you can probably get a great deal on it.

    I had a smoking deal worked out on a platinum, it was silver and the only one the dealer had. Pulled into the lot and my wife and 13 year old daughter said it looked like an old man truck...SMH... it was soooo much nicer than the TRD Sport , but as I often say “it is what it is”

    No. Sport is the package below the limited.

    Check out @csuviper new build. He added leather and heated seats, plus a lot more to personalize it to his liking.

    No it’s a sport, don’t get me wrong, it’s a damn nice truck. Leather seats would be nice. I plan on buying a set off eBay and tackling it myself or getting a dealer to put them in.

    It was the scoop that sold me. All my Tacoma’s were sport packages and my 17 4Runner has the scoop... just like the look
