SR Trim

Haha we’re on on the same hunt together - MGM or Black CM 4x4 for me as well.

I went and test drove a DC SR and a CM SR5 at a local Toyota and my mind was made up. Now to be patient…

 

Awesome! My only potential sticking point is the seat heat on the driver's seat. As long as my wife can see well enough to drive it, I'm all in. There are multiple SR CM 4x4 in white in MI. I plan to go drive one in a couple weeks and know for sure. There is one black SR w my pref specs, but they loaded it down w add ons and put some $1k window crystal BS on it. That thing is $46.5, makes no sense to me to spend that on an SR when an SR5 is like $2k more

 

Yup. Nothing with SR its a great value, but for just a little more you get a few more options and the engine without the detune.

The SR5, not a SR5 premium, I have has one touch up and down for all 4 windows, that alone is worth the upgrade from a base SR.

 

Agreed. I’m in TX, there’s 1 black available so we’ll see if I can nail it down. I had a ‘14 Tundra SR and enjoyed tinkering with it and turning it into a Limited/Pro hybrid. The base features and interior on the SR was incredible to me. Coming from 15+ Toyotas over my lifetime, I’ve almost always had an SR5 or Limited, but these base models now a days are loaded enough for me and what I’ll use it for.

Everyone is different, but for me, I’ll be replacing the suspension, wheels, etc. week 1 so as long as they don’t add the $2K in fake “dealer add ons”, the $5-7K difference from an SR5 will go a long way for me.

Good luck!

 

I could see Toyota is following Ford foot steps, where a XL with equipment is same price as a XLT...lol

 

Ah damn I was hoping the SR would have auto up/down for all 4, bummer!

 

My 22 SR CM has auto up/down on all 4 windows. I believe this is programmable through Techstream or Carista.

 

Not sure if the SR has it or not, looks like a post after mine says they can programmed for it.

 

My Sr has auto up/down for all 4

 

My SR also has the one touch up/down for all 4 windows. Came that way day one when I drove it home

 

How did you get leather on a SR? Dealer add on?

 

Beautiful truck!

 

I'll def be playing around with the various settings with a Carista trial

 

I think that’s the big question for anyone needing to tow, so is it a cooling issue? Different axles? Tune only? I’m surprised Toyota hasn’t answered that somewhere, makes no sense. Cooling or tune and it’s an easy(ish) fix, even adding a large tank once more parts are available in a year or two isn’t necessarily a deal breaker bc someone might develop an even bigger aftermarket tank than the 32. I did the larger tank mod in my 2013 and it wasn’t that difficult, I’d imagine it’s similar here.

 

That’s a great deal! Congrats.

 

Man, I'd keep those silver steel wheels, way better looking than any black painted alloy wheels. Nowadays I think steel wheels on a new truck is more unique than it used to be....

$41k? Absolute steal. The only things I'd consider changing/modifying on that truck would be the bigger fuel tank and unlock the hidden power in that V6TT. Maybe a JB4 would suffice......

 

Small thing, but I just noticed SR’s don’t come with the “Tundra” badging. Not a big deal, but not gonna lie, I wish it was there. I’ve already posted my Tundie in another thread, so I’ll wait to post after getting my wheels installed tomorrow. I’ll post a before and after.

 

Which badging are you referring?

 

SRs don’t have TUNDRA on the driver and passenger doors.

They also don’t have trim level on the back doors.

 

My 3rd kid

 

Looking good!!

 

The tailgate inserts were one of the extras the dealership added. The official Toyota parts website has them for $75.

 

I’m glad they added it, because it would otherwise be practically badge-less. The driver side needs something on it so it doesn’t look so bare haha. Thanks for the love!

 

This was my thought as well. Otherwise, the only possible reason is because they are trying to upsell the higher trims. A 355hp/383 ft-lb Silverado 5.3L can tow 11000+ lbs and the 250hp Powerstroke F150 was 12000 lbs, so its not a power issue.

 

Power is not usually the issue towing to the J2807 standard. They only have to climb the hill at maximum load without dropping below 40mph(or maybe its 45) I believe, which doesn't require THAT much power.

 

Almost better that way, super clean.

 

I know some like the stock SR wheels (and by some, I mean about 5 people on the planet ) but those black wheels (Limited TRD Offroad?) look soooo much better. Add in some more color matched white bits; grill, door handles, mirrors, tailgate upper, rear bumper and you've got a really slick looking truck.

 

Thank you sir! Yeah, I want to white out the mustache so the black grill is more pronounced. That’s likely my next modification. And yep! Those are the Limited TRD offroad wheels.

 

Truck looks Great! Still waiting on mine.

I just bought the stock wheels and tires from a ‘22 TRD Sport owner. The tire pressure sensors weren’t included, did you use the TMPS from your old wheels and where did you take it to have it done? I’ve never changed wheels on a vehicle before. TIA

 

Thanks aeroo! I also had never done it. I took it to a local discount tire. They were able to swap the TPMS from the steel wheels to my new wheels. I got my wheels from a limited owner about a week before getting the truck. My wife hated the idea of changing the wheels, felt it was unnecessary, right up until she saw the finished product lol. Now she’s constantly bringing it up, in a good way. Impressing my wife with a truck modification was not something I expected to happen 2022. It’s unhealthy how much I love looking at this truck
