I've been messing with the "build and price" on toyota.com and I keep adding in the trd offroad package almost every time. I find myself wondering, however, if the "upgrades" are worth the $3k extra.
The edmunds site says that the TRD offroad package includes:
Is it possible to get the features I want for less, either aftermarket or from the factory/dealer? It looks like the cruise and rear window, at least, are available as part of the $1500 SR5 package.
Is the AC power worth a damn? I'm just looking to charge tool and RC car batteries from it.
Is the stance really noticeably higher? Assuming I can get the cruise and rear diff from the factory, would I be better off going with aftermarket suspension and parts to get the same stance?
