    Lol. Unless the Pro is a manual transmission they share almost the same everything except suspension and seats. 3rd gens vary very little by model. Toyota heard the gripes and changed that in the 4th gen.

    The things my stock Pro has that my stock sr5 does not (things that contribute to overall driving experience- subjective):
    Larger rear end, with locker
    Trd exhaust
    Factory lift
    Electric brake boost (hydraulic)
    “Trd tuned leaf springs” <—-not sure what that means but it’s in the brochure - guessing the OR's have it too
    Hell, I’ll throw in the upper ctrl arms ….me thinks it’s the reason the pro steering feels like a sports car rather than that of a large 70's sedan of the Sr5.
    Funny you mention the seats …other than appearance they’re both the same, although l do like the way the leather supports me vs the cloth in the sr5.

    Still not wireless carplay.... I had to add a wireless adapter for it to avoid having to plug it in, which gave some other cool features.
