w/Toyotas what does the distinction "SR5" Stand for ???

K.J. VanderKoog 23 April 2005 12:57:17
 Just curious . I know they used that badge "SR5" to indicate an elite
and higher dollar model of vehicle . Not unlike the the " L " or
Limited monniker , but does anyone know what S. R. 5 really stands for
word wise ???

 I've heard both Sport Runabout 5-Speed and the more commonly used Sport
Rally 5-Speed. Either or works.

Yeah, it USED to be that the SR-5 designation was used to boost a base
coupe w/4-speed manual to a 5-sp with guages (as opposed to Idiot deLights)
and vinyl seats to cloth. Was used only for Manuals, Auto were desginated
DX. But I'm sitting here looking at a 4-Runner marked SR-5 with an Auto.
Now is just denotes another trim level...

That's not as bad as Pontiac sticking the "GTO" designation on a Sunfire.
Or how about Oldsmobile slapping the "442" designation on a Calais in the
early 90s.

Original SR5 models were all equipped with 5 speed manual transmissions.
Automatics came later.
