Patrick Miller, a senior auto analyst at iSeeCars, notes, "The SR5 trim offers the best bang for your buck because it matches the TRD Off-Road's resale performance but costs significantly less upfront" (Source: iSeeCars.com, Vehicle Comparison Guide, 2025).
The base SR trim starts at $27,325 MSRP, while the SR5 starts at $32,245 MSRP. The TRD Off-Road starts higher at $33,500 MSRP. Even though the TRD Off-Road has upgraded suspension and Billstein shocks, these features do not add extra resale value compared to the SR5, as the depreciation rates are identical.
If you plan to sell your 2019 Tacoma within 5 years, choosing the SR5 or TRD Off-Road will save you roughly $2,000 more in depreciation costs compared to the base SR trim. The SR5 is the smartest financial choice because it matches the TRD Off-Road's value retention while offering a lower purchase price and better engine power with 278 horsepower versus 270 horsepower.
