2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

That is the only thing I miss about not getting service done at dealer. I use to like to look at what they had on the lot. Funny thing is last time I was there I looked at a tTundra Pro. Never been much of a leather guy so I thought nice truck but not for me. Now I want one and will probably be my next buy.

 

good to know they are actually bring in some MT into SOCAL. I put a deposit down for a MT pro back in Aug, still nothing yet which dealer in LA did you work with to get your truck?

 

From Toyota.ca

TRD Pro:

• Suspension: Bilstein Shock Absorbers (Front and Rear)
• Suspension: TRD Remote Reservoir Suspension kit
• Front Suspension: TRD-tuned Front Coil Springs
• Rear Suspension: TRD-tuned Rear Leaf Springs

No mention of Fox.

 

If that's accurate then that will stink for the Canucks...

 

the .ca site looks like webpages from the 90s wouldn't surprise me they just enter the wrong info for the Pro package, but then again they always screw the Canucks on car/truck models.

 

purchased in OR , registered in MT for both my TRD OR and TRD PRO


I will have sex with my mother before I buy a truck from LA dealers or pay state of CA any more than I have to

 

You're not kidding. The Toyota.ca site is garbage (especially compared to Audi.ca - I've driven Audis for almost 20 yrs.)

Yes, I'm hopeful that it is just a shitty data entry job by someone that has no idea about what information is important to a buyer of this kind of vehicle.

 

Here you guys go. It's a video with Toyota's Chief Engineer speaking to the Pro's attributes.

Man, what a great truck!

 

I'm 99% sure that is simply because the site hasn't been fully updated. Mike (dealer from Alberta) put up this video and it shows fox shocks:

I negotiated a deal and finalized the out the door price before my dealer requested an allocation. I also got $1,000 off of MSRP. The only catch is I'll have to wait approximately four months until delivery. I gave the dealer a $500 deposit on August 19th the day they ordered it. I ordered a Super White with automatic transmission and really no other frills. Just basic TRD Pro !

 

See my previous- I've talked to about 9 dealers.
There's no order process.
The dealer may get an allocation, your order "may" secure that allocation.
Of course, the dealers manager may over rule your order given the discount if they have a panicked buyer ready to pay msrp.
I got 2 "orders" at 2 different dealers for 1-2k under msrp. 2 months, still no allocation for me... or the dealer sold to a higher bidder.
I would not count on this as a strategy of you really want one.

 

well learned a couple new things listening to that toy engineer, pro has wider track by 1" and beefer (30") front steering stabilizer over the OR model. I knew the suspension has it sitting 1" taller than the OR.

in fast lanes truck rodeo compare of top 5 off-road worthy trucks, surprised to hear them say 5th place rapor and 1st place pro

 

I was under the impression the 1" wider track was simply due to wheel offset. Although that sounds a bit suspect to me.

 

I suspect this to be the case as well

 

I'm not very mechanical. What does 1" offset mean? I thought the just put a half inch of spacer (like a stack of washers or something...but more fancy) in a here to make the "wider stance?"

 

thinking just the inside rim off-set? rather doubt toy would use spacer. This guy explains wheel offsets on utv wheel, same concept. they say wider stance can provide more stability.

 

Please let me know if this post is not allowed and I will delete it.

I work for D&M Leasing in Texas. I get some good pricing on Tacoma's if you are considering a lease. Our minimum mileage is 15K per year and I can build in as many as you want. My personal lease allows for 30K a year. Our lease terms are anywhere from 3 years to 5. A TRD Pro with a $44,163 MSRP on a 51 month lease will run about $530 a month with a total out of pocket of $2000, including all taxes and fees for Texas. That same truck on a 72 month purchase at 3% is $686. This is assuming a 700+ credit score and with acceptable credit. I have a white automatic due soon.

I pay under invoice for all Toyota's I buy from my dealer.

 

I have a Tacoma TRD Pro in Cement color and Automatic waiting for my decision at the a local dealer. It Paint protection $598 + Toyogaurd for $699 + Dealer fee of $699.

Total is 45076.00 they will sell it to me $200 under MSRP for $43500+ Tax title and registration. Should I pull the plug.

P.S. I have $9500 trade and after all I have $37000 out the door. Is this a fair deal or I can do better?

 

Most guys are paying MSRP with a select few getting $100-1000 off MSRP. For a pro seems like a fair deal.
