    Hello guys! I work for a dealership group and make videos on our cars, and thought this would be worth sharing on here! TRD Pro's are so freaking cool. Definitely would have a place for one in my dream garage alongside a MKIV Supra...


    I do appreciate any feedback as well of course (including constructive criticism) :)

    I've driven 6 Toyota pick-ups in the last 30 years, including SR5s, Bajas, TRD OR ATs (awful), and now a TRD Pro. The Pro is, even overpriced, the best. There are a lot of Pro haters on here, but I have the experience. I actually use these off-road (archaeologist), and for the money, I'll take the Pro - all the suspension, and Pro parts are warrantied for 3/36 and 5/60 or extended if you want. The after market parts I put on my other Tacomas have a 1 year warranty, and some failed and cost me. You should factor that in when purchasing.

    I happen to like cape cod blue.



    I’d like to go on record saying this guy is a professional on camera, because he has to be. But off camera he’s probably a disheveled jiu Jitsu mat hero who rides an enduro bike barefoot EVERYWHERE. I mean who knows. At least he’s a good sport :D

    Yah but for the crazy amount of money you pay for a Pro you can spend half as much on mods, add them to a TRD OR and it will be twice the truck the PRO is. Pros are for suckers who don’t use the money wisely to make a better Taco. And for the record the AT in the OR is just fine if you get it tuned. I use mine for off-road and would put those PROs to shame on that stock BS Fox suspension.

    Or, they’re for fanboy collectors (I almost bought one) or people who may not have tools, a garage, or the inclination to build. Though generally I agree with you. If a person bought a pro because they were told it was the best, they just don’t get it anyway.

    Don’t worry I’m sure your PRO does what you need it to do. I just have more cash left.

    All fun and locker room mentality. Your truck looks good. Curious though...how much weight have you tried in the back yet? Over 500lbs?
