I have owned over a dozen toyotas 81-88 and just have bought my first runner.85 efi. And I have been told it was a sr5 bc it's efi how do I find out

 

SR5 originally stood for "Sport Rally 5-Speed (according to wikipedia), but it does not denote a specific engine or fuel system. SR5 is just an upgraded trim package. They typically have snazzier interior with more amenities and the gauge face normally will have a tachometer.

 

Well it has automatic tranny and has the altomiter on the dash

 

My understanding is that the transmission isn't all that relevant even though the 5 stands for 5 speed. I don't think the altimeter is part of the SR5 package either as my stepfather had an 89 SR5 V6 and it didn't have it, and I think that was just an option that anyone could choose for the extra coin.

The SR5 package applies to both pickups and 4runners, and again it really just signifies the upgraded trim package. Many SR5 4runners are actually badged that way, but I'm not sure when they started that. If your gauge cluster has a tachometer it is most likely an SR5, and if it just has the speedo, fuel, and temp then it probably isn't. At least that's my understanding...

 

any one have a 85 4runner sr5 , thats an automatic ? or did toyota make a 85 4runner sr5 with an automatic

 

Im pretty sure all 4runners had an option to have a automatic tranny even with or without the sr5 trim

 

you can check your vin and model #s here http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/faq/vin/

 

Mine 4runner is a SR5 with automatic tranny but if its an SR5 it should have SR5 bagdes an decals all over it, well atleast mine does

 

I have the 1985 truck brochure and some things that came standard on a SR5 4x4 (and not an option for the Deluxe) were automatic locking hubs, gold or silver color-keyed spoke wheels (depending on exterior color), tungsten halogen headlights; tachometer, oil pressure, voltmeter and temperature gauge; upper shaded windshield band, full carpeting. Options for the SR5 (but not the Deluxe) were Chrome Package (chrome front bumper, grille, trim and wheel), Special Paint Package (metallic, 2-tone or gloss black paint; chrome front bumper, grille, trim and wheels), Sun/moonroof, Power Package (cruise control, power windows, etc), Sport seats, electronic AM/FM/MPX tuner with 4 speakers, cassette and graphic equalizer. But, the 1985 brochure also reads the EFI wasn't available for the Deluxe, nor the 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission ... yet I own a 1985 Deluxe with these. So YMMV.

 

Idk mines a black SR5 with crome trim bumpers an door handles it has all the avaliable features earlier mentioned 4speed auto with O/D, tachometer, auto hubs, ect one of the guys i ride with has the exact same truck but his is a fully loaded limited an the only difference i can tell is he has leather seats and sunroof. I think that the SR5's have different differentials than base models as well. My grandfather has a base model 4wd truck of the same year as my rig an he has open carrier differentials and mine had limited slip orignally

 

I have 85 runner sr5 and i have a sun roof, power windows, inclometer, sr5 embroidered seats, tachometer gauge (mines a 5 speed), 22re, manual locking hubs and sr5 badges. Mine don't have the power locks, not even sure if that was an option for these.

 

I have a 85 4runner sr5 , no sunroof ,weird I dont think many didnt have sunroofs , power windows, chrome grill , chrome door handles, no power door locks, inclometer, manual hubs, 5 speed , tachometer, sr5 badge on tailgate , air conditioning, cruise control , toyota fm/am cassette stereo , factory chrome steel wheels, unfortunately the PO re upholstered the seats a tan cloth , so I dont know what seats were really in there , hopefully they weren't the sr5 logo seats , that would be a crime

 

Oh yea I've got a/c and cruise too. I never use either so I forgot mention them lol. I don't have chrome bumpers or grille tho.

 

oh yeah chrome bumpers , I have never used cruise dont even know how to, and my a/c needs recharging or something
