Standards

The SR5 is the second-tier edition while the TRD Sport, the newest Tacoma trim, is third. Access models come with the 73.7-inch bed while the double cab editions are eligible for either the long bed or a 60.5-inch bed. As Edmunds has noted, these cabins are better insulated against noise than ever before. A new lift/drop assist tailgate makes bed use easier. The SR5 comes with a bed rail system, adjustable tie-downs and a bedliner. The cab comes with a sliding rear window, folding rear seats, and a tilt-telescopic steering wheel. A GoPro windshield mount is a standard item that you won’t find on any competitor.

The TRD Sport looks different than the chrome-accented SR5. It has its own unique trim, hood scoop, and larger wheels. The bed gains a 120-volt power outlet. The interior is dressed with TRD upholstery and design features. The automatic edition has push-button start as well as a keyless entry. A wireless phone charger makes life easier for smartphone users. Shoppers can add heated front seats and dual-zone climate control.

How Does the SR5 and TRD Sport Perform?

The standard SR5 engine is a fuel-saving I-4 with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The tow rating tops off at 3,500 pounds. You get a choice of manual or automatic transmissions and the option of a V-6.

The TRD Sport takes performance up a notch with sport-tuned shock absorbers. The V-6 engine is standard, ensuring plenty of kick. It earns a healthy 24 mpg/highway fuel economy. The output is 278 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. The tow rating is 6,400 or 6,800 pounds, depending on the cab choice.

What Are the Technology Features?

Toyota loads the SR5 with all the essentials when it comes to entertainment technology. The 6.1-inch touch screen interfaces with Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming. Siri Eyes Free, an iPhone system, offers even more ways to use your voice to access information and entertainment. Toyota’s exclusive Scout GPS Link navigation app lets you access directions and maps through your smartphone.

The TRD Sport goes all the way with a larger, split-enabled touch screen and the Entune App Suite. It also adds HD radio, predictive traffic, Doppler weather overlay, and an integrated navigation system. Entertainment extras include Gracenote album cover art and AM/FM cache radio, which allows you to rewind a live broadcast to hear a song again The TRD Sport offers a blind spot warning system. With the use of a simple icon, this system keeps drivers informed about side traffic that they may not be able to see. It can reduce typical highway sideswipe accidents. The accompanying rear-cross traffic alert can reduce the chances of a side collision during reverse maneuvers.

When it comes to choosing between these two options, you really can’t make a bad choice. The best idea is a test drive at Five Star Toyota of Milledgeville. Then you can see for yourself how the two editions stack up.
