In terms of overall function and performance, the SR and SR5 trims on the 2019 Toyota Tacoma lineup are very similar. Their base configurations each offer seating for up to four passengers, a max towing capacity of up to 3,500-pounds when properly equipped, and the same fuel economy scores (20 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway). Both models also come equipped with the popular Toyota Safety Sense active safety bundle that includes Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
The differences between the two trims come down to slight adjustments in the feature offerings. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR trim offers basic amenities that help you tackle daily driving like heated side mirrors, a deck rail system with tie-down cleats, skid plates, USB ports, and Toyota’s Entune Audio infotainment system. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR5 trim adds a few extra creature comforts like a leather-trimmed steering wheel, Entune Audio Plus, variable intermittent windshield wipers, an upgraded tire pressure monitor system, fog lights, and remote keyless entry. We think that the SR5 trim provides the best balance of an affordable starting MSRP and modern amenities.
