2014 Tundra SR5 vs 2014 Tundra Limited
The 2014 Tundra comes in several different models, including the SR5, the Limited, the Platinum, and the 1794 Edition. While each model has the same general style, you tend to see more features and comfort as you go up the ranks of models. Because of this, you can expect the 2014 Tundra Limited to have slightly more features than the SR5.
One of the first differences you will notice between these two models is in terms of appearance. While both models have a lower front that is matte black as well as chrome end caps, their grills are different. The 2014 Tundra SR5 has a matte black grille, while the grille on the Limited is silver billet; both have a chrome grille surround. Remember that the Tundra Limited will be slightly more expensive than the SR5, but it has additional features to make up for the difference in price.
