    Eh. It’s a fox kit that’s like $1500, but introduces a price increase of $8000. No better

    They don't understand the differences you are talking about. Not only that, their needs/wants/requirements are totally different than yours or mine. (Aside from the fact they got paid for their opinion).

    In reality, we are small part of the market. Which actually is good - if not, think how crowded the trails would be!

    I mean ill give them an A for effort. But why buy a truck that you drive 30,000 miles and it starts falling apart. Chevy's aint what they used to be.

    Dude let it go. 30k, cmon. That’s biased opinion. Every brand has lemons. I’m personally jealous of the drivetrain options.

    Also my truck squeaks and plastic rattles too. Toyota is a cheaper brand, but you never hear of anyone bragging about driving a Toyota except for the same kids who brag about their chevys and fords. I tell people all the time my trucks not nice, but it serves its purpose. Lol

    are we arguing for the sake of arguing. The pro is no more capable in the real world. Is that better.

    Honest opinion is it worth the drive? What all do they have going on?

    no I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing, you literally said "a superior product is no better than a lesser product" just in different words and it was just a bit of an asinine statement.

    I agree completely that for the cost the Pro is not worth it over the other models, but to say it is "no better" is just wrong.

    I stand by my statement if someone asked opinion of pro in the market. My wording would be “it’s flashy, but no better.”

    Ehh. It was like a big cars and coffee type event but all Toyota. There are off-road rigs, mall crawlers... last year I was surprised how many very young kids had built out 3rd Gen mall crawlers. The event seemed a big disorganized but it was nice meeting and seeing some folks I knew from other trail events. There aren’t any trails there. It’s only a car show. I’d say if you live close it’s worth checking out. I didn’t mind the drive cause I got to see my Uncle who lives on the other side of ATL.

    Maybe a little bias :anonymous::rofl:. The suspension tech on the zr2 is cool, but how well will it continue to work and how expensive will it be to replace. Ill stick my may squeaky rattley yota. :D
