Lunar Rock Gen III Thread

Well, the ability to engage the starter and use it as to move the taco in sketchy situations is enough on its own. Back in the low-technology days (before Clutch-start-cancel), I used this capability on several occasions while far off the road.

On one instance, it even took us out of quite a remote location when the engine would just not fire. We decided to go until the starter burned-up (as we were expecting), and then attempt to hike from that point.

Long story - short; the starter took us over miles of rough terrain track and quite steep hills. We gave it only some 10 minutes rest to cool off after each mile or so... Eventually, we secured a tow - which would not have been the case had we walked...

No hiking, no abandoned vehicle, etc...

The starter not only did not burn out, but it was undamaged and gave trouble free service until the truck was sold many years later.

 

Hot wife and dogs next to the brand new LR picked it up yesterday!! Paid msrp!

 

Got an offer for $38.2k on my 2020 OR and MSRP on a bare bones TRD PRO LR inbound this month, so torn on what to do lol.

 

That’s an easy one, let me know where the LR is inbound at and I’ll swing through and pick her up since the dealer still doesn’t have an update for me.

Jk. I’d jump on it. This would just add to the collection of Tacoma’s you’ve had. This might actually be the keeper.

 

Right. Never owned a pro either. Just made the deposit on it, finalizing tomorrow.

 

Resistance is futile…

Welcome to the club!

 

You will absolutely not regret it!

 

no go, last minute f**kers tried to charge me $1k markup, ya not happening, one on the lot at watermark toyota, but they sleezy as their reviews indicate

 

Thats shitty AF. Never ever ever ever pay over MSRP!!

 

exactly, i've never paid msrp but this is my first pro and given the climate, but i can wait he tired the whole this is a great deal nonsense and lost me, once the bubble pops it def won't be

 

The local dealership that tried that on me, Larry H Miller Toyota, I basically said

"Thank you! Now I know to never walk through your door for anything ever again. If you are going to try to gouge your customers like that, I'm glad I know now your shop lacks ethics. There are plenty of other Toyota dealerships in the valley I can go to for help"

Mark Miller Toyota took awesome care of me and they are closer to my house.

 

Same, 12 tacomas in and all different states and dealers just not gonna play that game or give them my business.

 

Pro snowboarder repping the LR

 

So I think my TRD Pro might be defective.


It has never once been to the mall, and yet it spends a lot of time here. Should I be worried?

 

Awesome bike and beautiful truck!!

 

EDIT:
Looks like the 22 models still get a manual

https://pressroom.toyota.com/next-generation-tacoma-trd-pro-takes-off-road-performance-up-a-notch/

 

Yay! Save the manuals!

 

"Tacoma TRD Pro will employ TRD-tuned Fox internal bypass shocks designed to deliver exceptional on- and off-road performance, but the crucial suspension change will be a taller suspension lift – 1.5 inches up front and 0.5 inches at the rear."

"Complementing the increased front lift is new TRD-engineered upper control arms. Featuring machine-forged aluminum construction for added strength, the new TRD upper control arms allow the FOX shocks to make use of the additional rebound stroke afforded by the lift by adjusting the angle of the ball-joint mount."

 

My LR MT just took a hit in value.....

 

I just watched the press release video. Toyota didn't directly answer how they achieved the lift. I suspect a spacer in the rear, perhaps the stiffer Eibach Spring (Eibach makes the OEM springs for TRD Pro's now) But now with the control arm up front? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/taco-pro-owners-interested-in-a-spring-upgrade-for-front.643212/
