What's the chatter on the 2018's?

Did you not look at the pics that are in the sun? It's totally a sky-ish blue.

 

I see one on my way home every day. It's not.

 

If you are telling me this doesn't look at least close to sky blue to you, I'm not sure you know what sky blue is...

 

That will be awesome!

 

I didn't know they put the TRD Pro stuff on after it came off the line. ...it's not port/dealer installed, yes? If so my opinion of the TRD Pro just fell through the floor.

 

That FJ looks like the sky with a cloud on top to me. Belch!

 

4runners are made in Japan so maybe so

 

4runner Pro does not have KDSS, 4runner Offroad has KDSS. The Pro T4R is pretty much a fancy SR5.

 

You'd think the Pro being what it is they'd have that included (KDSS)

 

I suspect any suspension mods create a nightmare with KDSS. KDSS is a hybrid solution for on/off road driving. PRO is an Off-Road build.

 

No, that post will undoubtedly be in a new thread, because TW.

 

I'd imagine that adding KDSS would increase the price point or reduce margins. Price is important in this segment as the Pros aren't that far off from full size pricing.

KDSS is a passive swaybar system (your description for on/off road use is correct). 4Runner and LC guys have been lifting for years and doing plenty of heavy duty off-roading with KDSS; it's actually a benefit over the stock swaybar off road. Only extra steps are to precompress a cylinder when installing lifts (fixing lean is a different issue).

The local dealer just called me trying to sell me on 'recent incentives'. I told him I'm most likely waiting for the '18s and that I know they probably aren't coming out until December. He said "As far as I know, the changes are going to be very minimal, and they should be coming out in September"

 

Oh, and when I told him I will be looking at Access Cab Sports, he immediately volunteered he's pretty sure I can get one in a stick. Now, I didn't mention anything about getting a standard, nor do I want one, but found it interesting he would bring that up after I mentioned I was waiting for the 18s and their updates.

 

Any chance there will be a TRD Sport Shortbed in manual for 2018? Right now the manual is only for longbed...

 

Actually, the Sport Manual comes both ways, AC is a Long Bed by default and the DC is a Short Bed.

 

Shaker is right. Can get short bed trd sport with MT already and will be able to in 2018 as well.

 

That's awesome. I didn't think you could because it wouldn't show up for me on Edmunds for 2017. Thank you, I should've checked on the Toyota website I see it on there.

 

You can't get the Manual in the double cab long box.
