Buy a Pro or Trd off road and upgrade along the way?

Ya I looked at it while waiting on service today,it’s a CPO and ain’t cheap. I think if I was getting a pro or into another Tacoma I’d want a manual transmission.

 

I hope you enjoy those monthly payments and interest rates
Here me get you a ladder

 

I wanted a dclb, 4 wheel drive, added my own leather kit, Bilstein lift 3/1 with a new 265/70/17 SL Toyo open country at2 on some trd pro Sema wheels, predator side steps and a factory TRD pro grill going on after Christmas and I'm done. I got my scoop, painted fender flares, long bed and can handle any speed bump any mall can throw at me. Sorry guys but crawl control is if no use here on the east coast and my truck might see a dirt road or a sandy beach in the OBX. Other than that it's washed and detailed every weekend and taken care of,yeah it's a truck but it still deserves to be taken care of for the next owner. Not hating on the Pro or OR but for a pretty trail ready factory rig the Pro is no better than an OR. Get what you want, I did and I'm happy.

 

that is why the Post say's "Nearly"

 

I could make a List of all the Items that are different than the Plain Jane OR but that is a Moot point and thing to do each to their own but two local new OR owners I know have spent almost as much as it would have costed to purchase a Pro going after the same Upgrades that the Pro Has and it is more than just a Or with a few more bolt on's

 

still open frame light use government inspired pickup truck for 50k Lol
do yourself a favor and get the tundra for the same price or even a lightly used land cruiser
Or save 40k and get 1st gen. Save a first gen save the world!!

 

Got no Monthly Payments on it and interest rates.... Traded in a Paid for Tundra and used the money that I "paid" as payments into the Bank on the Paid off 2000 Tacoma also My Pro was Under MSRP from a excellent High volume dealer that I did my homework to find and work a deal with...MSRP was $41,720 and Deal closed at 2k under that. So I don't need that Imaginary High Horse with a ladder I jumped on just fine and rode off digging my Spurs in the entire way.....

 

Nice im sure the instagram is filled with sick photos

 

50K! wow that certainly missed the boat if it was 50k I would never even looked at it MSRP was $41,720 and oh yea I had a Tundra and I have a 1st Gen Tacoma that I use all the time

 

Only if you could imaging! I'll never tell

 

Jesus fuck, someone see if we can put the lid on the can of worms here.

 

Just FYI for everyone... The leather in the Pro is not holding up great.
I would rather have the leather in the 4runner.

 

I wouldnt consider blacked out lights or badges an upgrade.

What's so great about rigid fog lights over the regular TRD fogs?

Leather is now available in the OR, I personally hate stitched headrests.

Mandatory Scoop and moonroof are dealbreakers for me, they reduce visibility and headroom.

You're still stuck with a 5 foot bed.

I use a bed mounted toolbox for storage, try that with a 5 foot bed. I have and it makes the bed even more useless. I need the larger bed.

Only thing I care for on the Pro is the grill. My first two Toyota trucks said "Toyota" on the grill and I've always hated the sumbrero. I do like the Pro grill.

When I bought my OR it was the first year of the longbed OR and there was no 3rd gen Pro. After I saw how they limited the Pro configuration, color choice and initial market adjusted price the first year they came out, I was even happier with my choice in the OR.

 

Well no sales tax that’s true
Sold tundra

 

Interest rate doesn’t scale with loan amount. Monthly payments for me is 0. Paid it off. I need a higher ladder.

 

I needed a long bed and Pros don’t come in long bed unfortunately.

 

Understand that sometimes the Need over rides the desires it is all good in the end

 

That front plastic fascia will get ripped off on the first REAL offroad adventure, plus no skid plate
