2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

I like the cement pro. I will order a MT6 soononce I get back stateside. I like the dual climate control with no moonroof. Being 6'5" there is not enough headroom with moonroof.
But the Helix in Brazil look awesome.

 

Stay safe Brother!

 

Is that the 2017 4th gen 4R TRD!

 

They are testing the gen4 down in Brazil. Super secret picture.

I have been out of the diesel game for a few years now. When i bought 06 TDI it was right when they changed over from LSD to ULSD. The consensus was the ULSD is less powerful than LSD and provided less lubricant for the engine, i always ran stanadyne as an additive in my TDI and never had an issue. You could be 100% correct but from what I have seen and researched on ram forums, a cummins that has run 100k with all the new epa crap on it is so built up with soot compared to one that has been deleted. I stand by my stance that the EPA has ruined the diesel engine and i also agree that our diesel fuel is probably not up to par either, also do to epa standards on our fuel. If their were no epa standards on diesel engines i believe you would see a lot more diesels here, just look at what happened to VW for trying to conform to their crap.

 

The larger truck don't have the problems as the passenger cars that usually have much tighter tolerances. I'm thinking that VW wasn't so much trying to get within EPA standards as they were trying to conform to the much more stringent German standards. The reason I say that is where the US is running I believe on ULEV3 or 5 emission standards for gasoline engines. Germany is probably getting ready to transition to ULEV5. I wont be long before they are making more Oxygen and H2O as CO and NoX.

But I think we are kinda getting off topic.

 

I'm new here but I checked with my local dealer on Fri, and after a little pushing on my part they told me about 43k.
They didn't specify whether manual or auto, but I'm guessing the quote was for auto. Manual seems to run roughly 1k less on average from my experience.
They also said the first run would probably be sold out, but then said they'd call me when they start taking orders...? How does that work? Do some dealers get early dibs on sales?

 

Sounds like they're in the same boat as most dealers right now, they don't know jack shit.

 

So has anyone actually gotten info on when we can expect dealers to start getting these allotted and on lots?

 

My dealer has one allotted but its Barcelona Red and I want Cement. They're trying to find a cement one for me.

 

Have they given you a firm price yet?

 

No, I imagine we'll hear a corporate announcement first.

 

Just asked my sales person for an update, she says that the first allocation would not include any manuals. Can anyone confirm that? She says she gets allocations about every other week, and doesn't know what it will bring from one to the next. Does this sound right?

 

I wanted a manual and the dealership hasn't been able to find any, but then they haven't found anything in cement either.

 

Since it looks like I will be twiddling my thumbs a little longer ... I have scoured virtually every lift thread and tire thread. What I'm trying to figure out, is if the Pro will fit 255/85r16 tires with nothing more than a CMC, or if that is even needed. Remember, the Pro has an extra 1" in the front.

I won't be stuffing them at full lock, but that is not to say they won't get fully stuffed. Longer bumpstops?

 

I just wish they'd hurry up and get some out there so I can own one lol.

 

Funny, I've been trying the figure out if they'd be able to fit 285/75r16. with the pro stock 1" extra lift and the wider offset trd wheels. Started thinking maybe you could alway cheat and add a 2" coil spacer (i know, but its always removable) and 1" rear block, should give you the equivalent of a 3 inch lift so you can still utilize the fox suspension.

There is a guy on here with a 2015 PRO running 255/85r16 with on stock wheels with no lift.
