Noob question- SR5 identification

I did a little searching around and havent been able to find what exactly the SR5 models have that the others don't. I recently bought a 91 4x4 pickup (ext cab, 22re, 5spd) and i'm not sure which model i have.

sr5 had bucket seats (i believe), a full speedo cluster with speedo, tach, oil pressure gauge, voltimeter, etc, not just a BIG speedo. i believe it also had heated seats... someone was tellin me that their 91 pickup sr5 had heated seats... other than that theyre pretty much the exact same truck

i'm fairly certain that in 89-95 there was no heated seat option, it would have been after market. but i agree with the bucket seats and gauges.

SR5: What I have found so far...

Mirrors: exterior mirrors were chrome, not black
Door Panels: If you have power options, its SR5, if you have cloth on the door panels, its also SR5.
Seats: Not all the SR5 trucks had buckets, some had split benches, etc.
Instrument Cluster: As noted Above
Clock: It will have a clock next to the HVAC controls instead of a black faceplate.
Map Lights: Not sure about how widespread this is, but the SR5 trucks I've seen so far have map lights around the rearview mirror.
Seat fabric: To match that on the doors.
Tire option: If you have 4 spoke Alloys with 31x10.50 tires on them, its SR5
Tailgate: The tailgate featured a small Toyota in one corner and the rest of the inset was decorated with a vinyl decal similar to those found on the sides of the truck
Sunroof: If it has it, its SR5


I'll add more if I think of it.

Nope, gotta have a mechanical drive instrument cluster, otherwise, there is nothing to hook up to your speedo.

My 89 ext cab 4x4 V6 has all the basics, no power anything, A/T, no A/C, manual hubs, no sunroof, no sliding rear glass, no cruise and an AM/FM radio. Most of these trucks that had the extended cab with the V6 usually had some options or usually SR5 package but mine did not. Also mine came with the standard 225/75/15 tires. Weird huh?

Yeah, almost all the 4x4 V6 Xtra cabs were SR5, but mine isn't either.

I got A/C and once had auto hubs, but thats about it.
