![]() ![]() Also, this doesn't matter to some, but an actual lever to operate the center differential is a huge bonus to me versus an electronic button that could fail at the worst possible time.The 2021 Toyota 4Runner is one of the most rugged mid-size SUVs on the market, but also one of the oldest and least refined. So you guys are telling me that the TRD OR / Venture doesn't have any more off-road bits than the SR5 except for MTS, CC, and locking rear diff? What about more armor underneath? I thought the SR5 didn't have as many skids. ![]() Sounds like an SR5 is all you need, and that's just fine. Doesn't really matter, but that's my two cents. But hey, something's got to pay for all that mall-crawler insta swag (SR5 savings, that's what). Are all of those mods really better for off-road driving than a locking rear differential? Doubtful. it just depends really on if you'll actually do any semi-serious off-road driving or not! IMO, the guys that buy a brand new SR5 and then mod it out with rock sliders, heavy armor, etc. ![]() But there is certainly value in the TRD's. That old school lever is exactly what I wanted in a truck. but the whole reason I bought a 4Runner was because it was one of the last surviving dinosaurs from back when they made cars to function and last as opposed to please simple minds then fail. I myself didn't even consider the SR5 for that one reason alone, which may be silly. Also, this doesn't matter to some, but an actual lever to operate the center differential is a huge bonus to me versus an electronic button that could fail at the worst possible time. Very excited to join the 4Runner community! That brings me to another question, are there specific online stores that are most recommended for quality custom 4Runner parts? Looks like there are good deals on OEM parts at this site. So that leave sme wondering if I'm better off saving the $3,300 and customizing an SR5 Premium with TRD wheels, blacked out emblems, and a more functional 3/4 or full roof rack which I think can be done for $3,300, maybe even less? but I admit I absolutely LOVE the look of the Venture model! Due to where I live I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of those systems. Other than aesthetics (blacked out emblems, other black accents, non-functioning hood scoop, TRD wheels, and smaller Yakima roof rack), the real performance difference between the two models is the Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain functions, and locking Rear Diff. That said I do vacation in Colorado and other areas out west on an annual basis, so hope to play off-road whenever out that way. although not much of that available where I'm living now (Iowa). ![]() This will be my daily driver, and will eventually be used to tow a small travel trailer, as well as off-road fun whenever possible. Using a purchase plan program thru my employer, it appears there will be ~$3,300 difference between the two models. I plan to purchase a 4Runner next spring and I'm debating between the SR5 Premium and Venture Special Edition. ![]()
