New 2019 TRD PRO VOODOO OWNER

No Pro hate here lol. I’m just envious every time I see one of those Pro only colors.
Although, if I bought a Pro and got a Pro specific color, I’d be pissed when they flooded the market with them the following year. I don’t really understand why Toyota does that. Those colors really set the Pros apart.

 

I would have been pissed if I bought a 2015 inferno or a 2017 cement, but now I already know Voodoo is more than likely coming to all trim on 2020 and I couldn't care less. At least no other Pro's after 2019 will have it.

 

At some point, it has to stop
Right? Or is Toyota going for the record of most available paint finishes on trucks? lol

 

I'd say they probably use it as a test bed to see public opinion about the color, which would reflect on sales, then release it to all trim if it's good.

 

The second gen had alot of colors over the years, there was Speedway Blue, Nautical Blue, Indigo Ink, Blue Ribbon. Radiant Red, Impulse Red, Barcelona Red, Desert Mica, Pyrite Mica, Silver Mica, then Silver Sky, Spruce, etc.

 

Same, I almost had one, voodoo blue last month from my guy at Right Toyota, just didnt want to start over payments again. I think Pro's are great and a great opportunity to retain resale, have an awesome truck if you keep it stock, later down the road. I've had 6 tacomas, lifted a few, this one is stock, because in the end I realized unless you need / absolutely want to mod it your better off leaving it stock, and I think a PRO is awesome and a great value if you do just that.

 

We have a great dealer that does a ton of custom stuff. They stand by everything. I have had them do everything (when I didn’t have time) from bumpers and suspensions to exhausts and superchargers. Most reputable aftermarket companies have solid warranties to. Double coverage is the best policy if you actually use it.

 

My problem was that I went from an overbuilt Tundra with full articulating Bullet Proof suspension with 40’s to a stock TRD PRO. My FJ is bigger! I love my truck but I also like setting up my rigs for the off roads of the PNW! I live 30 minutes from some great off road parks and an hour or so away from some great dunes. Cool = 100 practical = 20 my Taco Pro felt like an El Camino

 

Thats your dealer, many here who have had claims denied due to dealer blaming lift. And aftermarket support is not even close to OEM.

 

That is a monster tundra, but like you said, not exactly built for the trails. Looking forward to see the voodoo build you do.

 

Sorry bro that sucks

 

One of the jokes at the dealer is that they will warranty all original parts ....that are left.!

 

I've never had an issue, wrench head and built all my trucks myself, but seen plenty of threads here for those that have. It helps to know your rights as well as actually understanding the parts of the truck, lift and what each component does and has an affect on, many don't they just know it looks cool and then have a hard time arguing their case with the dealer / service advisor.

 

Knowing your shit before you start modding it up is key!

I think the Pro’s are under pro’d ...

285/75/16 minimum
Rear Springs are too light
Stance is too low needs the same shock just longer and adjustable
Better UCA’s
Rear links to prevent axle wrap
Paint it all red and slap a TRD PRO LOGO ON IT
Gussets spindles

 

Lol, Toyota is trying to maximize profit, not lose money. Slap some new shocks and shiny cosmetic parts on there and charge $6k more.

 

The hood is different and the colors too. Seats are different

 

Thought the same about the cement pro and leather option. Look at the 2018 option. Both available.

What? The non functioning scoop?

 

TRD Pro Exhaust
TRD Pro Grill
TRD Pro Headligts
TRD Pro Tailights
TRD Pro Shift knob
TRD Pro LED Foglights
TRD Pro Skid Plate.......

None of that comes with the Premium and Tech. All things I wanted. And that list is actually pretty expensive.

 

That shift knob!!!!

 

Heh...are we related?
