The SR5 term was in use for many years before it ever showed up on the trucks. It only had a meaning on the very first car it showed up on, which I think was a Corona model, but it might be earlier.

Anyhow, for many decades now it's just a gimic badge on the truck you get to pay extra for. Generally some fluffy trim stuff comes with the badge. There is zero performance enhancement associated with it.


Like he says above, its mostly a trim package, mostly stuff like bucket seats and an adjustable steering colum, but in the later 80's, at about '86 or '87, electric windows and in some cases electric locks were included in this package. all it did was add a little convinence. my truck is a base model, with a bench seat, no A/C and a fixed colum. someone did however add a SR5 guage cluster, which included a tachometer. that was another thing that the SR5 package came with that a few base models didnt.
