Looking for some one who has driven a SR5 and aTDR Off Road.......how would you describe the quality of ride between the 2 on regular pavement ?

Is the Off Road ride much more stiff, harsh ?

The SR5 has leaf springs in the rear which provide more spring back when going over bumps but, will provide better support if you're carrying a big load/towing. The Off-road is the opposite of stiff, it's designed to allow you to drive over uneven road, dirt roads at higher speeds while absorbing those uneven surfaces to make the ride smoother for the passengers.

Only the double cab sr5, but yes.

too many
I didn't drive an SR5, but have driven a few OR models. They ride great, imo. Plush, not harsh at all.

The SR5 has coil springs in the rear, only the Xtra cab (2door model) SR5 and the SR have leaf springs.

The TRD OR has bilsteins, I had a 2013 TRD OR and it also had bilsteins and the ride quality was wayy too stiff.

Can't say much about the SR5 but my TRD OR rides great...not on the cloud nor precise but the feedback is solid. Good enough for an off-road truck.
