SR5 4WD Off-Road any Issues?

[4RunnerJay]

Hello SR5 owners,

Anyone taking their SR5 off-road? Any issues? Anyone missing the rear locker?

Thank you.

I took my ORP on some trails like Broken Arrow in Sedona AZ (rated a 5 onX app) and didn't even engage 4lo. Not saying you won't find need but I think you'll be pretty good if keeping it relatively mild.

I thought that might be the case. I’m sure it’s much better than the 4X4’s of the old days.

I have taken my SR5 on a bunch of trails and spots that made me nervous for my skill level and 4lo was extremely impressive and got me through no issues. I don’t think I will wheel hard enough to need a locker which is why I went SR5 vs OR but this thing is still impressive.

TFL did a slip test of the 4R limited and shows the difference 4lo makes in these rigs, it’s a good watch.

The SR5 has a-trac that will get you out of a lot of sticky situations. There are some quarks to it, like needing a sufficient amount of traction loss before it engages, but it works pretty well.
The locker is nice, and necessary in some cases, but I felt that the SR5 would meet the overwhelming majority of situations I’ll ever be in.
As for the crawl control and MTS, they are super cool but not something that can’t be achieved manually with some practice.

I’ll check it out.

Probably not much if any. I haven’t checked.

it has some, but not scrape-worthy

Don't think so... the ORP only came with protection equivalent to a wall of a soup can under the oil pan.

Under body protection is a super easy problem to solve. I have the front protected… no need for the mid/rear yet.

I don’t think so since it’s the SR5 (base model)
