    Well I posted a few weeks ago about my 16 Sport (4x2) getting totaled. I had to delete my comments per advice of some legal folks. Anyways...decided to trade up. Let me introduce my 2018 TRD Pro in Cavalry Blue.

    Initial thoughts (comparing my 16 4x2 Sport & this Pro). Wow, same engine but feels like a entirely different truck. First thing I noticed is the new exhaust...start up and low rpm driving that growl is fantastic. The suspension on the TRD Pro is way better and makes the ride fantastic. Leather upgrade is also a huge plus. Can't wait to start finding some trails soon for it.

    By the way...the blue in person is just so much better. Pictures are hard to do it justice. I know some might hate it, but wait til you see it in person. I was dead set on cement before, but have 0 regrets about the color now that I have it.

    Hell yeah, the fox suspension makes for an awesome riding truck, very dialed in. And the exhaust note is music to the ear!
    They did a nice job with the pro package. I get a lot of compliments. I’m like, “If you like the way it looks, you ought to drive it!” (But not mine, lol)
