First 4runner Trim Help SR5 or TRD Off Road

[Toastyz]

Hey 4runner gang looking for some opinions for my 1st 4runner

This vehicle will be my daily driver and my weekend overlander a couple weekends a month as well as a few weeklong trips during the year. Im an adventurer and explorer so while I dont go hunting trails to rock crawl, if there rocks in my way to were I wanna go im going over them. Ultimatly want confidence my vehicle can take me to the many unseen places but wanna make sure im not paying for things I really wont use. So with that in mind what do you all think would be the better option for me:

A: TRD Off Road mostly stock except for the overland kit (sleep, food, power, etc...) may upgrade vehicle in future.

B: SR5 (PT4WD) that I Kit out with new wheels and bigger A/T tires, new suspension, skid plates, rock sliders and the overland kit.

I think you are better off going mostly stock for the features you want. You'll get a better resale value and not have the extra expense and headaches of getting mods made.

Of those 2 choices I’d go with the Off Road

TRD OR prem (make sure you get the locker)

SR5 for those that intend to put about 10-20k of add-on off road parts

I have an ORP, and was considering SR5 vs OR vs ORP. The diff between SR5 and OR is ~6k, for which you get:
No sliders
“Skid plates” are high density plastic (feels like thin metal) but are not actually metal
Bilstein shocks
Rear locker
“All terrain” tires (they are “on-road all terrain” tires, much less aggressive than what most people consider ATs)
A 3-prong outlet
MTS & crawl control

If you’re planning on a lift, real ATs, and a metal skid plates…. Then that 6k premium is pretty much just for some interior upgrades, 3-prong, MTS, and a rear locker.

I had to have Everest though. So I had to do it

I didn’t find anything on the TRD OR worth the extra price, but mine isn’t doing much off roading outside of the beach
