    How can one mimic a pro if they weren’t available in the 2016 year line up?

    Edit: when the 3rd gen sports were

    MT was a must and i wanted a DC. 60k for a pro was not happening, even though i really really wanted one.

    Absolutely no regrets, love this truck.

    I had no need for a rear locker or crawl control and I preferred the ride of the Sport. Most of my time is spent commuting to work, so the better ride and handling on-road was important to me. I also liked the color matched wheel flares, bumper, etc. And yes, I dig the scoop!

    I actually really like stock sport suspension. Its far from "trash" like most guys say. It handles great on road, where i spend 80% of my driving. Also it performs well with heavy loads. I drove my buddies OR and its way too soft and the nose dive is annoying.

    Scoop is awesome. Just makes the truck look so much better.

    I chose the OR. The fake scoop just looks stupid.

    Agreed!

    The nose dive was bad in my OR. Looked like I was always slamming the brakes, even on easy stops.

    Mostly it was a timing thing, but I like the scoop, I like the big rear end, never used a locker :anonymous: or CRAWL in my other Yota's, and had to have a manual.

    EDIT: Plus I knew most of the stock bits would be on Craig's in short order :rofl:

    I pointed the cover of the brochure and said "i want that one" The blue wasn't the same as the cover though. Much disappoint
