    Can anyone with a 2wd or 4wd base SR5 confirm if either has auto start/stop. Online under the specs it says this model does not.

    I have looked at several videos of the 4x2 SR5 and I have not seen the button anywhere near the shifter or the left side of the dash like my 2023 Tundra.

    I would expect it to be on the hybrid models.

    here is a Sr5 4x4 basic and do not see the auto/start stop feature behind the shifter in the blanks.

    Someone would probably have to test drive to be sure, but I’ll say:

    - Some vehicles have/don’t have that feature depending on trims, I suspect if the SR5 flat-out doesn’t have it on paper, it just doesn’t.
    - All hybrids technically have it but it’s different on paper and no button to turn it off naturally.
    - It’s possible only the button changed, I can see it being another upsell but since it’s not on the spec sheet the first point is probably more likely.

    I think auto start-stop is only for Tacoma.

    Those are hybrids, the spec sheet says the hybrids don’t have it technically.

    Saw a TRD Sport 4Runner on the other site sans ASS but wondering for other gas trims
