Thirds SR5 model that I know is Australian SR5. It is right hand drive and it has small bumpers. Speedometer is in kilometers and SR5 emblem is found always from lid. However 82-84, models have "4wd" badges on side trims and later ones have "SR5" badges.

Model code for Australian SR5 is AL25RG-ZWFQCQ. I have found these pictures from following addresses:

I just presented three different models. You live in all three countries? And I don't lecture to you. I just provide all SR5 to all members here. You can provide additional information too if you want to.

The DLX was not a std.


You guys are ignorant.

A standard is below a DLX typically an R or a D without body side mouldings

The Tercel you showed in the wrecking yard from 80s hero was seen by my friend on a tow truck. I rang up the number of the wrecker on the tow truck but they would not sell it to me. I was really sad about that!

R = STD
D = Means BASE but not in 4WD Tercel case
