Hello new member here.
I have been planning on a tacoma for some time and now its time to pull the trigger. I was alway going to go with the trd offroad because it being a great platform to start from. I understand the trd offroad has crawl control and a rear locker and lower trims dont. I plan to do light offroading and camping so the locker is nice. As I started learning what set the models apart I started changing my mind. When I would look at the trd or I knew I would change suspension, wheels and tires. Thats when I started looking at lower trims levels. I didnt want to pay nearly $40k for the trd and still change a bunch of parts. Im purely looking at the trucks from a cost perspective.
I can get a 2021 tacoma SR v6 4x4 double cab for for $33,400 today. I can swap the suspension(5100's,) wheels and tires for $2500. So tell me why I should buy the trd because right now Im not sure if Im missing something of value in it.
TRD OR
$39,500
$2500 Suspension, wheels tires
$42000.
SR
$33400
$2500 Suspension, wheels tires
$1400 locker
$37300
Yes Im aware that the sr has grey cloth seats( i dont like leather) and no fog lights. Thank you for your input
