Choosing between the SR5 TSS package or the TRD Pro

I’m new to the Toyota Tundra life. Planning on getting one next summer once this Covid 19 calms down. I’ve been going back and forth in trying to decide which one if the best option. What you guys think?

 

Welcome from Ontario Canada , if you can afford it the TRD Pro !!

 

Get the Pro only if you plan on keeping the suspension/lift the way it is. If you think you're going to go higher and do all sorts of upgrades to the drivetrain, it makes zero sense to go Pro.

 

Welcome from NY.
I would either get the PRO or a SPORT.

The TSS is just a sticker and wheel package.

The PRO has the suspension but no sensors.

The SPORT has the sensors, color matched bumpers-mirrors-grill surround & buldge.

Good luck with your decision.

 

I went SR5 because I'm cheap and don't need any fancy features.

 

Helped you out with that assessment bud

 

Is the TSS Package the same as the Sport Package or am I missing something ?

 

On my 2014, the TSS is just cosmetic stuff.
Only thing I still have are the wheels..

 

I have the Tundra TRD Pro, love it, rides like a magic carpet and I'm keeping it stock except for them baby stock tires.

 

No
TSS, is a dealer dress up.

 

Thanks man, Oswego

 

TSS is a Gulf States dealer pretty package. 20" wheels, mats, bed sticker...purely cosmetic

 

No wonder I could not find it as a package on Toyota's site.

 

Consider the SR5 with the TRD Offroad package, if available. It gets you most of the upgraded stuff (LED headlights & fogs, tuned suspension, better wheels and tires, big gas tank, some skid plates, etc...) but is a great blank slate for building exactly the truck you want. You also then won’t have to finance your upgrades if you are financing.

 

Wrong, It's wheels, nerf bars, spray in bed liner, window tint, LED bed lights, and stickers. About $2400 worth for $5000.

 

Don't forget the mats.

 

Unless you have to have the bed stamps, go with the SR5, more likely to find sales, and get better offers for financing, I got 0% on my 2019. The PROs don't have any special offers, you pay sticker or higher. They are nice and I would love to have one, don't get me wrong.

You can take the savings and upgrade to a just a good as or better suspension than the pro

 

Sorry , I didn’t think to ask if you were planning on modding or not , I don’t do any mods like that anymore ( too old for that sh*t ) lol

 

Thanks everyone! I honestly don’t plan on doing to many mods to it. I just like the reliability and the look of the Tundras. I’m don’t planning on going crazy off-roading but plan on buying some land in the near future so want a good work truck that can handle the terrain but also look nice. I don’t need any crazy upgrades

 

Pro for sure. You don't want the TSS package if you want to handle terrain. 20" wheels are a no no for that.

 

It won’t ride like magic carpet when you change the tires tho

 

I vote SR5 (with leather), then customize yourself

 

Done plenty on a 20" wheel...

 

I'm kidding of course. It's just preference. If you're not in anything that requires airing down, then 20s would probably be fine, but the ride won't match an 18 or smaller. Again, preference.

 

All of this. SR5 is best bang for the buck right now, I just picked up a 2020 crewmax SR5 TRD. Has most the better options (imo) without all the creature comfort ones like parking sensors, leather, navigation (tho can use car play or android auto for it) and have the much nicer price tag. The lease options on SR5 TRD crewmaxs are great right now too if going that route.

 

ya i seen that. With that package is still cheaper then the pro

 

Totally forgot about the steps but my tint and liner wasn't part of the TSS pkg. The tint was entirely too light anyway and I got it redone.

 

This is mine, myself personally have no desire to go higher than an SR5. The BFGs came off my 12 SR5 I traded in, too much life left in them to trade them away for some crap highway tire that kinda ruined the look of the truck anyhow. So the swap was part of the deal.

 

I don't have a PRO or TSS but figured my story could be relevant. When I was looking for a Tundra I came from a Tacoma which on the Tacoma TRD package gets rear locker an other useful off road features. I had a base model so I always wished I'd had the TRD. So I immediately wanted a "TRD off road" package on my Tundra. Thinking I could get some nice additional off road features like a rear locker.. Then found out Tundras basically only get some slightly upgraded shocks an skid plate bla bla, totally lame.. Well then I figured the wheels looked nicer then base model an told myself I'd pay the extra for TRD pkg becuase I didnt want to regret not getting some of the nicer upgrades / looks.. I wasn't planning on really doing any modifications. Well within a few months I already overhauled the suspension an wheels an tires.. So in hindsight I should have just got an SR5 an saved a few bucks for a TRD sticker.. So my point being I'd go PRO if I had the budget an knew I wasn't going to mess with the suspension. If your on the fence AT ALL ,I recommend as others have said just get SR5 an make it what you want it to be.
