2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

You'll miss the resale value as you pointed out. My dealer told me Pro's are in the 80% range for resale. I wouldn't buy a pre-runner 4x2 because then your resale value drops significantly. Despite your location, someone is going to want a 4x4 over a 4x2 in most cases.

which ones are those?

 

Cbi frame sliders with Kickouts

 

350 miles and zero issues...keeping fingers crossed

 

Those look bad ass...Much nicer looking then the tube steps they are putting on the Pro's.

 

also much stronger with actual protection, but much heavier too.

 

Definitely send a pic when you're done. I like my Predator step tubes, but those sliders are growing on me.

 

They're aluminum so they're only a few pounds heavier

 

Just put another 300 miles on today putting my over 2600 miles total, all I can say is I'm LOVING my PRO. I will share that at around 1500 miles I started to hear a faint noise coming from the rear whenever I let off the accelerator when going over any speed +50mph, its is so faint that its not even a bother to me as I almost always have music blaring or on a phone call. If this is the so-called "howl" and it doesn't get any louder than I'll enjoy my truck as-is for now. Assuming Toyo will have a fix eventually (or not I dont care currently) and as long as I don't see any mechanical disadvantages due to it I'm ok with what I'm experiencing at the moment. Additionally I took 3 buddies hiking/camping last weekend and we had a total of 3hrs in the Taco round trip, a number of times I asked if anyone heard anything weird and none of them even noticed soooooooo I almost wonder if I never read there was a "howl" if I would even notice it. Still pondering that one.

 

Just an update.... Went and looked at the truck today with the 285's and there's tons of room. I haven't been able to crank the wheel bc it was in the shop, but if it does need to be cut it would only be very minor and plastic at that

 

do you have an actual weight, or an estimate? curious, and worth a future consideration.

 

Nope, but I'm sure if you went to Cbi's homepage it would be there or you could call them. Just estimating since I did hold them today I'd guess between 55-75lbs

 

Im in Cali and cannot find a Pro for under $5000 over msrp. Utah is $2000 over msrp for one coming late Oct. Where are these going for msrp or discounted?

 

bought mine in northeast PA..

 

How much did you pay?

 

43.800.. msrp,, they threw mud flaps on it also,, as it had none on it... ,, hell some off roads are going for over 40,000.00,, im loving it, compared to my 15 Pro.. i traded in for it .. i cant believe dealers are marking them up,, wonder what toyota thinks about dealers marking them up..

 

This dealer near me is crazy

 

thats fukin nuts...... i was emailing a salesman for 2 months everyweek,,, and when the pro hit the showroom floor i went right down and bought it off the showroom floor. .5 miles on it..

 

Holy crap that's ridiculous. If I could pay that much i'd literally just buy a Raptor.
