What was it called before? SR5s? Also, what does the package include? I thought they had like a racing suspension but my toyota dealer tells me it's only 4 special shocks and a automatic locking rear differential. So If I buy a used one and the guy replaced the shocks with regular shocks, it's a stock truck asides of the diff? I thought there was more to it for the price tag. Re: TRD package #384682 01/21/04 11:07 PM Anonymous Unregistered yes. Your right about everything except(ended with the 2000 models). Bilstein shocks, and locking rear dif.(with a switch) PLUS. ....Stickers. Cant forget the stickers. I think the sr5 had nicer seats, power windows, other accessories. All pretty much creature comforts. No locking dif. No bilsteins Re: TRD package #384683 01/21/04 11:32 PM Anonymous Unregistered I know Bilsteins are good shocks, but what about those Tokico shocks or something like that that come on the Double Cabs...who are they??????? Any good as compared to bilstein? why not just use Bill on there too? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Re: TRD package #384684 01/21/04 11:48 PM Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 3,935 Minnesota bkg Roll Me Over Quote yes.

SR5 and TRD are completely separate packages that do not overlap at all. TRD has nothing to do with interior or electronics, except the RR Diff Lock switch. TRD, IIRC, started in '98 and is still available today. Consists of: sticker, diff lock, tires/wheels (which can also be ordered separately), Bilsteins/Tokico gas shocks. Brian K. Gallus I have nothing important to say. Re: TRD package #384685 01/21/04 11:52 PM Anonymous Unregistered TRD package was/is available 98'-04'. I have a 99'TRD. The package consist's of larger sway bar, progressive coil sPrings, crappy bilstein/TRD shocks (not at all like aftermarket bilsteins)electric rear pushbutton locker. And neat TRD stickers.

Re: TRD package #384688 01/22/04 06:02 AM Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 2,426 USA H Hiker Body Damage is Cool If buying new..I'd pass on the TRD package. The TRD Bilstein shock are wimpy. Get the Bilstein aftermarket shocks and save. The locker rear...well..If you know how to 4wheel you shouldn't notice a difference. I don't have it and have never had any problem yet. Stickers. Here's a site to get any ones you want. The progessive springs are nice in the front especially if you add spacers for lift. Buying used.. I believe a TRD package adds about $300 in the blue book. Opps.... The sticker site...can't forget about those stickers.. http://www.streetgraphics.net/catalog/imports/catalog.toyota.shtml Re: TRD package [Re: Hiker] #384689 01/22/04 02:57 PM Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 159 O-town MD cronustrd Wheeler Quote The locker rear...well..If you know how to 4wheel you shouldn't notice a difference. I don't have it and have never had any problem yet. Thats the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. Lockers make 4wheeling a whole lot more fun. You need them when you leave the bunny trails. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> 2000 Toyota Tacoma TRD: 5" and 35s, Winch, Snorkle, Custom Sliders/Bumpers, Dana 44 and dual cases in the werkz... 1988 4runner: Formula Toy Meat...Got Sawzall?
