    Just got a 2011 SR5 4x4. Great condition, zero rust, 120k on the clock. Rims kinda ugly but will be swapping those out and doing a lift soon. Im coming from a 2014 and 2021 taco.IMG_20250729_064950.jpg IMG_20250729_064947.jpg IMG_20250729_064934.jpg

    Welcome to the forum. The thing I find most interesting about the SR5 in 2011 is it has a manual transfer case shift handle, and not an electronic dial like they do now...I wonder if that continued through 2013.

    If Toyota had continued using a manual shifter on the SR5 through the rest of the model years, I probably would have gotten an SR5 in 2019 instead of the Off Road.

    I had a 13 SR5 (dial, not a manual transfer) that I traded on my 23 ORP. Good looking rig.

    Just drove it home from Austin to New Orleans. Drove great. Only issue i had was a sticking slip yoke. Felt it get stuck and bump when I stopped fast,in traffic,and started rolling after before I accelerated again.
