in the new ones i think its just the options package . i.e bluetooth enabled hands free calling and audio streaming from your mobile.

SR5 has the following that standard don't: chrome mirrors and door handles, different grille, chrome rear bumper, smooth sided deck, bucket seats!, better radio and I think there's more.

I'm pretty sure that the SR5 models just had more accessories added when new.
EG. Plastic Guard Flares, Fancy Grilles, Colored Bumpers, and splashes of chrome or body graphics here and there, etc.
hmmm one other question does the 2005 motor have problems i remember seeing someone talking about this i think they have some known fault in the motor!

Depends on when the common rail injection systems come in. Very very good while working correctly, right royal pigs & frickin expensive when faulty.

diesels get clattery after 20,000kms or so, due to injector timing or something like that. often can be fixed with an ECU re-flash. Have seen a few rear diffs defective around 100,000kms. A supposed clutch and pressure plate issue too.

Not entirely true.05 was when they brought the new model out - around May!All 05 onwards diesels are turbo.

05 had the euro 3 D4D engine. These had a issue with no ceramic lining on the injector pins so carbon was an issue on a few but it is quieter then the euro 4 engine (less diesel knock) 06-07 had the injector recall (that wasnt required ) and a remap of the ecu to work with our crap fuel, also a larger clutch and flywheel. 08 had rear wheel bearing upgrade. Late 09 the engine is working now in our conditions but lack of fuel filter changes or bad loads of fuel still see a few in for one or two new injectors.
