TRD pro sighting?

Does anyone know the exact height of the '17 PRO?

I understand the length and width will be the same as the rest of the DCSB's but the height will be greater. I'm looking for an exact figure.

TIA

 

The "I could build it for less" argument will keep coming back, so let's just nail it down and settle it. Shouldn't be that hard.

Plus:
Sport Hood $?
TRD Catback $?

 

Looking forward to getting one, Cement color. Appreciate all insight (pro & con) in this thread and others. Main reason to use this site is to hear folks opinions and perspectives. Keep 'em coming.

 

No, lift 3k for a decent kit. A good set of rims and rubber your at about 5k. Meaning rims and tires your gonna be around $1,500 to 2k learn how to read

 

The thing about the Pro suspension and the Baja predecessor is TRD put a lot of work into getting it tuned specifically for the Tacoma, specifically for highspeed desert, washboards, whoops. And tuned to work seamlessly with Toyota's ABS and VSC onroad and offroad.

I wouldn't buy the Pro as a package, but I'd buy the Pro suspension kit in a heartbeat and slap it onto a TRDOR.

 

Wrong newb, come back to us when you've built one. You can get an icon setup with control arms for under $2k and what wheels and tires cost $3k? You're credibility and argument/numbers are pretty dumb please stop while your ahead

 

Biggest difference between modding a trd or sr5 and buying a pro is resale value. Aftermarket mods typically lower resale value or make no difference where the pro will have a higher resale value.

 

Never seen it lower on all my Tacomas but agree the pro gets more resale, it does cost more new. The argument is whether you can build a more capable similar truck for less and that is pretty obvious. But things like factory backed warranty and resale, etc make it a desirable option for some.

 

The Pro gives you extended travel shocks front and rear, has brake line extensions built in to compensate, proper bumpstops built in. Once you dig in to aftermarket suspensions and start adding on extended travel shocks, brake line extensions, reservoir shocks you see the Pro has all that done for you already and extensively tested and tuned to work seamlessly on the Tacoma. I bet this Pro will be a badass suspension system.

 

Dude they aren't even adjustable. Toyota is looking for max profit, with the small lift I doubt there's extended brake lines, again you can get more bang for your buck aftermarket sorry you can't win that argument. And aftermarket tests too and have more to stake as far as competition and performance. But yes it's a great upgrade from before and a nice factory truck for those that want a turn key option.

 

Ok, let's say 2k for a kit, then price some rubber your looking at about 1 k for decent rubber. Then some wheels, even if you get cheap wheels your looking at another about $800. That's not including mount and balance, TPM sensors or possible new lugs depending on the rims. So your at about 4K just in parts for suspension and wheels/rubber. It doesn't seem like you have much of a brain so I would imagine your not replacing the suspension yourself, so add that on there too.


Oh and will that stuff be covered for 3/36k or along with any extended warranty? NOPE!

Now what about other stuff?

Exactly so shut your pie hole

 

Hey toolshed you don't even own a Tacoma nor have you built one. I have and with my own hands and my own tools along with many MX bikes so how bout you shut your mouth your lost your argument your wrong you can build a similar truck if not more capable for less. Are you even a member here? Plenty of builds here to prove that. I also have 3 degrees so keep assuming.The only idiot here is you, keep running your mouth.

My builds:

 

damn, alot of hate thrown around. Once again its pointless to throw out 8k of suspension/wheels/tires when if you price that out it wont even come near what toyota offers on this pro. best is to price out the protires/rims/suspen and budget from there lol.

 

There's certainly brake line extensions because of the extended travel rear shocks. Adjustable up front, yeah that would be nice. I think buying the Pro suspension kit and putting it onto a TRDOR is better bang for the buck than a Icon Stage I. Adding on Icon rear reservoirs and extended length shocks front and rear that adds up.

Fox extended travel, as TRD puts onto the Pro, that's even more expensive. The big deal is TRD puts extended length shocks on from the start, and have them integrated into the vehicle much more than Icon or whomever borrowing a truck for a week.

 

Exactly, I don't understand why anyone or we are even arguing this, you can clearly get a better suspension (tires on the pro need upgraded too, they are the same as the Off roads so lets just call that a wash) and build a similar if not more capable truck for less, you can try to argue anyway you want around it but come on! That dosent mean the pro isn't a great truck and a great option for many, I really don't understand why people are so defensive as nothing will ever compare to a pro or the value you get from the price

 

usafwx. What do you plan on doing to your new Truck?

 

How so? Icon's are at least adjustable, the FOX stuff isn't. Icon has been running their stuff on these trucks for a lot longer than a week. And many here, self included have run 3'' lifts without needing extended brake lines, your assuming Toyota will on a smaller lift, I doubt it as they will want to maximize cost savings and there really isn't a need to.

 

Stock for now, trying to be an adult and save for a house someday, that coupled with leaving the Air Force in 2 years and finishing clinicals for grad school, plan on maximizing my factory warranty on this truck if need be even bought the extended one(first for me on any of my tacomas). We will see, the mod bug always catches me, for now all I've done is just LED's all around, wheels and tires, SR grille surround, debadge and window tint. At 30 years old and after lifting my last 2 tacomas, realized the "lift image" isn't for me.

 

The pro doesn't even come with decent rubber so idk why thats in your equation. Dont really see how wheels play a part either, you can go off road with steel wheels if you want to. You can absolutely build a better truck on your own for the cost of the pro, you'll just never get your money out of the add ons where as the pro will retain its resale with the add ons. Obviously the stuff on the pro is covered under warranty but if aftermarket stuff is quality and installed properly it doesnt really matter that its not covered, also anyone that pays for an extended warranty isnt an educated consumer. I personally would buy a pro before upgrading my own but id do so knowing i could upgrade an sr to be better than it off road. If i had to guess 99% of trd pros never leave pavement anyway, same with trd off roads for that matter. People that actually do off roading typically dont buy a brand new vehicle to do so.

 

How so? Are you saying the cost/benefit, many including myself negotiated a better price, for instance I paid $1200 for a 6yr/125000 platinum warranty which is bumper to bumper, though I hope not to have any issues, I've had friends and myself have small things like water pump failures, front diff seal leaks, etc. not to mention an all new powertrain for this gen. It's always a gamble purchasing one, even for a decent wrencher like myself but it also can pay dividends, when you hear some guys stories here that have diff's go, issues at 100k, etc. A 3rd party extended warranty, totally agree, and if your swapping out parts, also a bit of a waste.
