The trail edition is a better option. It's also a unicorn that will be worth more later. The TRDOR has nothing to offer over the TE other than some sensors and nobs for crawl...which doesn't make it more capable...it just lets the sensors put it in dummy mode and controls the wheel slippage...which you can do yourself. I'll take the rims/grill/factory lift and still have locking rear diff with keeping the factory warranty all day.

I agree. I just bought a brand new trail edition over the off road. The first thing that drew me to it was the looks. Those bronze wheels and heritage grill 😍 Even the all black interior looks better. But then I found out it had a locking rear diff too and I was sold. Also note that the one I bought came fully loaded with the upgraded sound and navigation, the technology package, predator side steps, and rear bed lights and rail cleets. Just an amazing vehicle that even stood taller that the off road. It was an easy decision.

Personally, I think Toyota dropped the ball here. They had a chance to make an affordable basic truck with a rear locking diff that many people desire. Instead they priced it for the same if not more than the TRD-OR and you get more standard features with the OR. Get an Offroad instead.

The TE comes with a factory lift so it sits higher than the OR. It also comes with the bronze TRD wheels and heritage grill which looks allot nicer than the OR's in my opinion. Plus the TE has the lockable storage and cooler in the back which I like. Theyre really two different packages that both offer something for someone. The TE is also alot more rare and on the SR5 playform so it will also be worth more in the future. Two really different packages for two different minded buyers. I've had mine for 3 months now and I absolutely love it. I will be installing some LED headlights and fog lights soon.

I have heard it around the Taco community quite a bit that going into 4 wheel low can be a pain if your not on a flat surface. But I think knowing the quirks and how to work around them is a simple task just takes time. Great review! I love the look of the trail and the factory lift and bronze accents. But you can build a trd offroad with the leather heated seats and all the goodies to be cheaper than the trail.

In bed lighting, bed cleats, remote start, smart key, heated seats, tub style mats, roof racks, predator side steps, TRD shift knob... plus the slight lift, (pro rims with better offset and wider stance) rims, skid plate, script grille, black out package, bronze trim seats, tacoma tailgate insert, locker, etc. The only thing we lose is the cooler boxes. BTW, the Trail has Hitachi shocks... still quality.

I don't believe in trading security for convenience either. The most reliable Toyota's are at the end of a run. Unless I had to, I wouldn't touch one of the new models for the first 3-4 years. I commute through the countryside where it hits -47 windchill in the winter and plus 30s in the summer, hotter if I road trip. I also frequently travel outside of cell reception on back roads and trails. Reliability is essential to my needs.

Got my '22 DCSB OR in Lunar rock almost 2 months ago, had to wait about 3 months for mine that I also put a deposit on, but it was because it was on a 150 day QC hold at the port which turned into a 180 day hold. I got the truck most of the way through that hold so didn't have to wait the whole time. On these vehicles that get long holds at the port, I guess they disassemble the truck to make sure everything is being assembled correctly and torqued to spec from the plant in Mexico. Was good to hear that they're making sure the Tacoma's are assembled correctly, but IMO makes my truck worth more now since it's one of the few assembled in the US 😉

Even better, the Trail Edition will have a higher resale value being that its an SR5 platform and its a more rare Trail Edition.

I'm a first-time prospective buyer of a Tacoma. My needs are off-road adventuring (rock crawling). On the fence between the 2023 and the 2024, but I'm leaning towards the 2024 Off-road due to the higher payload capacity (1150 lbs vs 1500+ lbs). For the life of me, I cannot figure out the logic behind Toyota and their trim levels. Meaning, why would a Trail Edition (off-road) have less features than an Off-Road edition? It makes no sense. Even for the 2024, I hear the TE will have a built-in air compressor in the truck bed, but the Off-Road package won't? Moreover, the 2024 TRD Pro will have shocks built into the front seats, but NOT the Off-Road trim?! Is it me? Am I crazy?!?! LOL
