TRD Sport vs. Off-Road

No longbed, deal breaker for me.

 

My 6MT OR was 33K. My 6MT PRO was 42K. Is it worth 9k more? Of course not. If I die tomorrow, will I be happier owning a PRO. Heck yes. I live on 30% of what I make. 70% savings rate. I am ok with my choice driving a PRO, even to Starbucks and back

My PRO has given more men erection, than Viagra ever did...

 

For me I need LB and 6 MT. Since I can't have both, I added bed extender. Gimpomatic is deal killer for me To each his own

 

ya pro here after tax is upwards of 67K...
fully build for my OR is 63K including the truck...
fox extended travel lift
Armour
dual battery etc

 

For that kind of money, I would rather have a dually, 4 door.

 

12 years with a shortbed before I got my longbed..... I learned my lesson.

 

Virginia going from a red state to a blue state. Toyotas becoming less reliable. Nothing in life stays stagnant. Change is good.

 

Those prices are Land Cruiser territory.

 

I wish I could get a LC for 67.

My current LC was 84K.

 

As a Virginian, I would just wish we weren't a "battleground" state. These ads, phone calls, door-to-door canvassers, etc are SUPPPPPPPER f*cking awful.

 

Thats about it - OR has the better Goodyear Tires - Wrangler. I prefer the flat hood. Cabin noise is non- issue IMO. and I think the suspension choice is based on your driving environment/region. Its a nice ride on and off road.

 

ONLY thing good about living in CA, no ads. Our votes don't matter. No one campaigns here.

Then again, I don't own TV or have cable.

 

I like the sport skewp...

Another nice thing about thing about the sport is the color matched bumper and such. Then again, you can get this with the tech package. Sooo depending on your trim leven this is a wash.

Air damn is a meh benefit. Most folks i have seen remove them from the sports.

Imo the off road will hold value better. Not because its better, but because it is a more capable truck. The market for moat truck buyers is capability not "sport" looks. You may not use the locker, but its noce to have and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Terrain select is nice and i like my crawl control. I used it on slick down hill and does well. Leaves more steering control than i think would be possible doing it a down hill manually. This is i.portant to me as i have seen my freinds slide down mud right into a tree in a jeep.

The offroad is great just for camping, or hunting, hitting the weekend trails with the family. You dont have to compete in the IROC to need a locker lol.

Its alot easier to add a hood than swap out to bigger rear end, or add a locker.

The smaller wheels are also another reason i got the OR. 1) you'reeither going to upgrade your wheels, ao why pay premium for what you wont use. Or 2) you're like me and dont care about the look of the wheels and happy you will save money on tires with 16 vs 18.

 

dude dually here is like 90K if not more.

land cruisers don't exist here haha.
when you consider exchange rate its actually not that much more than what you guys are paying.
Gotta remember our dollar is like 74cents US.

 

At least you don't live in Singapore.

 

Yup I eat the 25K . Chomp chomp

 

We get taxed like mad here in Canada dude.
an f150 with similar trim (4x4 double cab with navi) would be like 60-65K
Mind you most dealers have so many discounts on fords
but regardless everything is expensive as hell here.

Look at the ram Eco diesel there, from what I've heard its like a $5-6K increase in price over a Hemi
Here its like 11K for an eco diesel

 

Yeah the fact that Land Cruiser not sold in Canada, makes NO sense to me.
