Sorry that happened to you, but good god man do your research before you purchase a $40,000 vehicle lol. Can't expect the sales guys to do it for you, they're only there for a sale, and most hardly know anything about the vehicles they're selling.

The SR5 is no different than any other lower trimmed vehicle. Stock as stock could possibly be. Make hay where the sun shines, now you got a blank template to build a truck you want.

That sucks. I assume you bought this sight unseen maybe before an SR5 was on the lot to lay eyes on. At least I hope that is the case or well the decision is your fault.

I have also bought a couple cars sight unseen. To include the Tacoma. It was one of the early ones. No local dealers had one and the dealer I bought mine from was 2 hrs away. They met me after the purchase in the middle to swap keys so I did buy it sight unseen. Usually videos and pics will do an ok Job and they did help me make my decision but it is always not the case exactly. With the Sport I was pleasantly surprised. The biggest surprise was the seat comfort. I thought the seats would be more like the wife’s 24 Camry and they are way better so that was nice. I was expecting worse.

Don’t make the mistake that I did. I got the SR5 and didn’t even look at the tre sport or off-road and now I am realizing they are COMPLETE different trucks ! The SR5 has no usable features. It looks completely different from the inside ( like a rental ) and I hate that they didn’t mention this at the dealership.. This is my first Tacoma so I thought the higher trim level just came with better suspension.. definitely not the case .. DO NOT GET AN SR5 Tacoma !

Some here like the no frills, utilitarian nature of the SR5. To come on here and tell people not to get one because it doesn’t suit your needs is a bit in bad taste. Ultimately, you should have researched the trim levels prior to buying.

My SR5 with upgrade+cold weather is optioned better than a base TRD sport, that’s why I chose it.

I have the same package, and I love it. I didn't need all the extra frills. Just something to get me to and from work and haul my tools occasionally

Man, Sorry you aren't happy with your SR5 but telling people to not buy it is a bit extreme. I got a new SR5 as my first tacoma, the higher end trims were out of my budget but I really like this truck. It is fun as hell to drive and I can build it up however I want.

Yeah, it's like a blank canvas. I personally love it. I'll build this SR5 into my own version of the TRD PRO eventually haha

You didn’t do your research. I love my SR5. It has heated seats, front and rear sonar sensors, JBL, integrated trailer brake, power sliding rear window, all not on a base sport or off road.
