Nope. When the SR5 first came out all there were were standard cabs, so it wouldn't make sense to coin a term for it... and there weren't any (and still arent' any) front wheel drive trucks, so coining a term for "rear wheel drive" makes no sense either. It's well documented that it stood for Sport Rally 5speed. Toyota was proud of their 5 speed offering, in those days Japanese trucks still had a poor rep in the USA, and although people were beginning to realise how reliable they were, they were plain and uncomfortable and lacking in features. Toyota was trying to change their image.

 

something funny i saw a while back was a mid 70s(76-78ish) toy truck with mud flaps that said "2WD" on them. they were definitely factory flaps, but it was before the days of factory 4x4s

 

Of course, the first American trucks with 4X4 on the side cracked me up - you couldn't tell it was 4wd unless it had the sticker... Now they are all going the car-like route. Pity.

 

Very much so a pity... I thought that the "standard cab rearwheeldrive 5spd" was wrong... it was this stupid guy at the Toyota Dealership that didn't know anything about Toyotas it seemed... This bs'er tried telling me he raced street bikes and stuff... Telling me that a 600cc was a good "beginner bike". Now, I don't know all the guys on here, but, I've been riding for a long time... and a 600cc (though it can't pop the wheel up like a 1000) is a much better all-around bike. It can take corners waaayyy faster than a 1000... and actually 600's end up beating a lot of 1000's on curvy tracks... so in no sense is a 600 a beginner bike... ahem... sorry for that... I'm glad that now I actually know what "SR5" stands for!

 

SR5s in 2nd Gen 4Runners just meant that you had the 3.0 V6, I thought. All the ones I looked at that were 4 cylinders weren't SR5s.

 

My truck is deffinitly not an sr5. I have zero options, no AC, no Tilt, no CC, No Power Lock, No Power windows, No Clock, 2 speed wiper control, bench seat, etc....

But I do have a 5 speed and a Tach.

So I dont think neccesarly having a 5 speed and a Tach makes your truck an sr5.

 

My 83 Mojave Limited Edition came standard with Roll Bars, Push Bar, both with lights, Tach, Oil Gauge, Volt Meter, carpet, bucket seats, tilt, cassette player, delay wipers, removable sun roof, wood grain inlay on the dash, map pockets in the doors, sliding rear window, crome and tire packeage with and the coolest Brown Paint with Opposing Triangle Stripes. I never seen too many of these around.

 

I bought a new 1980 sport and dont remember the woodgrain dash.White w/silver stripes.i put a 3" spring lift and 33" bfg's w/chrome rims.That thing was a CHICK magnet.Those were the days.

 

My 92 4x4 PU Ext. cab had everything except power windows, but it wasn't an SR5. I had the 4.10 gearing, V6, sliding rear window, tachometer. My buddy had the same year truck except his was SR5 and the only difference I could see were the ugly SR5 pinstripes all over it and he had power windows.

 

Hey I am looking for a sr-5 dash w/ mech speedo gear let me know how to find one!

 

heh :|
