as the title said.

 

In the latter part of the 1970's, the SR5 connotation denoted an option code for the HiLux series of trucks, similar to what the Z71 option code currently means for an upgraded Chevy or GMC pickup or Tahoe/Yukon.

Originally released around 1975, the 'S' denoted Sport, 'R' denoted the RN motor code, and '5' denoted the 5-speed transmission. It quickly caught on and the SR5 connotation passed onto the Corolla and then onto other Toyota car models.

Today, the SR5 generally denotes a specifc Toyota trim level, with a more sporty look and wide flexibility for options.

Yeah, I understand it to mean a trim level.
You don't tend to think too much about trim levels until you see TowerRigger's 2002 Tacoma TRD (Non SR5) with manual roll down windows, manual side mirrors, and a non split rear window!
(Lol, you know it's funny Kyle!)

Ouch, WATRD just caught you not using the "search"

 

thanks, fellas. i tried to search "sr5" indeed, but just way too many search results came up.

 

I know what you mean, The search is'nt very intuitive. If you don't search the indentical phrase you can get hundreds of possibles. Good question though, newbie or not.
