The 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR and Tacoma SR5 are closely related versions of Toyota’s best-selling midsize pickup truck. These are the key differences between them:
Engine and Performance:
By default, the Tacoma SR has a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder i-Force engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, which produces 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. A 278-hp, 317-lb-ft engine variant is available on models with a Double Cab. The SR Double Cab is available with a 6-speed manual transmission, which is rated for 270 hp and 310 lb-ft.
The Tacoma SR5 gets the 278-horsepower i-Force turbocharged 4-cylinder engine as standard equipment.
Towing and Hauling:
The Tacoma SR is rated to tow 3,500 pounds and, depending on configuration, has a payload capacity of about 1,400 pounds.
The Tacoma SR5 is rated to tow up to 6,500 pounds and has a payload capacity of about 1,700 pounds, again, depending on bed and cab configuration.
Cab and Bed Options:
The Tacoma SR is available in two configurations: a 2-seat, 2-door XtraCab with a 6-foot bed or a 5-seat, 4-door Double Cab with a 5-foot bed.
The Tacoma SR5 can be ordered with both of the SR’s bed and cab options or with a third: a Double Cab with a 6-foot bed.
Fuel Efficiency:
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR gets gas mileage as good as 23 mpg combined (20 city/26 highway), and the Tacoma SR5 gets up to 23 mpg combined (21 city/26 highway).

It includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, road sign assist, proactive driving assist, and automatic high beams.
The base Tacoma SR can add blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert as an option, while the Tacoma SR5 gets it as standard equipment. The Tacoma SR and SR5 can also optionally add front and rear parking assist with automatic braking.
