My review of the Tacoma TRD Pro

No. People got thin skin on here.

 

FIFY

 

Two words: Resale value

 

Ok I was making sure because it’s hard to read people with no facial expressions...kinda like texting

 

To who lol.

A OR will get just as much attention if done right

 

Pro owners seem to think they can command some kind of glorious resale value because of their "exclusive" pro.

 

Spot on. It’s a marketing technique.

And that’s coming from a designer

 

How many modded vehicles have you sold?

 

One. A 2003 single cab 4-banger MT.

Silver with 3 in prerunner lift because it was 2-WD. Funnest truck ever with about 175hp and 31” tires

Honestly never should have done that


Helped me buy what I have now. Paid cash for 3rd gen

 

Not the point dude. But get your point. Stock is always best for resale/trade.

 

I get it too. I have $30k in mods, maybe more, on my 2001 Trans Am. It is one of the nicer ones left, and I'd be lucky to get $10k for it.

 

The dealership looked at my 01 and asked if I wanted to trade it lol. I told them there is no fucking way they’re going to pay me what I want, or better yet even be able to sell it to a human being. It’s like really? You gonna sell a LT 2wd 5 spd with unpainted fiberglass, and no headliner, no carpet, gutted? On the EAST COAST? Not a chance.

 

Ohhh sweet.
Did you paint the inside with bed liner?

 

No because to do that I would have to de-con everything for adhesion. And that truck is a mess lol


Also they kept bugging me to trade, even calling me after I bought the truck. I’m like “dude this thing is about as subtle and smooth riding as a rhinoceros”

 

yah sounds like a pain nm. My steering wheel had a decent wobble from semi ruts in the street while driving...little scary, almost like driving a big go-cart on the highway
