    Trying to decide between used SR5 or SR5 premium. Is the big difference in the 2 packages the leather interior and auto-dimming mirror?

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    Yeah, pretty much. I think this applies to the 5th & 6th Gen's.

    I ended up with a 2024 SR5P. I would have been just as happy with the basic SR5. I rarely use the sunroof, although I find the faux leather to be nice, and the heated seats are the SHIZZ! Suspect the softex will be an issue 5+ years down the line and require seat covers.

    What I find I'm missing is the key start. Push button is nice and all, but just seems too...lazy. I like old-school.

    Have SR5P and went with it for the sunroof, heated seats and softex. Coulda lived without softex since there are some nice covers out there but love my sunroof and heated seats. I can’t recall the 4x4 deltas if any. And love my push start. No more risk of key cutting the artery in my leg.

    From experience, the Softex looks good after years of kids, dogs, spills, etc. The cloth isn't as easy to clean.

    My SR5 has an autodimming mirror so it’ll probably depend on year.

    I wanted to skip Softex and the sunroof so SR5 was the way to go for me.

    I have a SR5P without a sunroof.

    My 2018 just has Sorftex and heated seats as an upgrade, I think.

    I didn't even really want the Softex at first but my wife convinced me to get them. I love how easy they are to clean them and I love the heated seats too.

    I would absolutely get the same thing again but I want a heated steering wheel too. Cooling seats would be nice to combat swamp ass during the summer months.

    How much on the give F**** level do the following mean to you? SofTex synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power-adjustable passenger seat, integrated navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Sunroof is still an option at this point.

    I believe SR5P has 3rd row seats as well. At least up here in Canada. I have a 2015 SR5P.

    My 20 sr5p has the third row.

    I love the softex. Mother's VLR keeps it looking clean, soft and supple.
