Is the Premium trim (TRD Sport) worth the price?!

[Mena_spuk]

Hey guys, I’m looking at two vehicles TRD Sport and Sport Premium, the major difference for me is the bigger screen in the premium and the 360 cameras, other than that I don’t mind the manual cloth seats.

I’m just worried that the small screen and the cloth seats will make the total feel of the interior cheap, can someone confirm if they went inside a premium and a regular trim and justify almost 7k difference? Thank you

"worth the price" is pretty relative to what you like, but I'll tell you my perspective. I test drove a Sport Premium, which helped to decide to go ahead and get the premium trim (I'm getting an Off-Road Premium).

My wife liked a lot of the creature comforts stuff, but I wouldn't have paid the difference for those features alone. I didn't even think I'd care for the ridiculously large screen., but... what did it for me was seeing how well the 360 degree cameras work using that big screen and I really like this both as a safety feature and for off-roading situations (e.g., looking forward when I'm on a steep incline). I saw some YouTube videos too where this feature was being shown off. Very cool stuff!

I haven't been in a non-premium 2025 trim (but I've been in what I think are close/comparable 5th gen trims). If it's really a $7K difference (I thought it was more like $5K for the Off-Road) and I wasn't thinking about the 360 degree camera angles, it wouldn't be worth it to me (at $5K or $7K). My wife might think otherwise. You could buy a whole other used vehicle for $5K or $7K!

I thought the interior was supposed to be nicer too - could be wrong.

Screen and camera system would be enough for me to upgrade, but I do also enjoy warm fingers and a power adjustable seat. All comes down to what features you prioritize in your vehicle...

Personally, I'd go Sport Premium.
We currently have a TRD Sport, but the extra creature comforts seem worthwhile to us.
Waiting to drive one and check the 4 banger noise.

My wife and I have VERY different seating positions so we love memory seats and that leads us to the Premium. The rest of the upgrades will be a cherry on top.

It a over $5,000 not 7,000
