    Doesn't count unless measurements are taken in that one dude's (bradwhitenikki) precision, sloped driveway.

    A pro is little more than special paint and trim.

    265/65R17 Ø is 778 mm, 265/70R17 804 mm.

    Edit: sorry, it's 265/70R16 which is about the same than 265/65R17.

    My wife has 2016 SR5 4 Runner it has 265/70/17s

    Costs too much for the manufacturer to put different wheel and tire sizes, throws shit out of whack perhaps. They maintain same ratio usually so if they put a larger wheel, tire size goes down to maintain proportions for instance TRD OR runs 265/70R16, TRD Sport runs 265/65/17

    Actually, that's given that all tires are created equally, with the same tread and sidewall, and mounted on the same wheel width with the same PSI in the tires that the diameter is measured from.

    Real reason anyone picked up the Pro was for the Cement color anyways.

    Does anyone have the other colors in the pro on this forum?

    He got a letter saying 10 people a day were coming into the dealership demanding a 2017 TRD OR with his identical specs. So they made him a good deal on trade in..

    Factory "leveling" kit. Only the front is higher with the Fox setup, rear is unchanged. Has different sway bars too I believe.

    it has a bigger bar up front than the OR. no rear bar unless you install your own aftermarket, Hellwig has it.

    did you remove your front bar for crawling or something?

    Sure looks mirror to mirror as if the PRO is indeed higher.

    It looks like about an inch different from the photos. If you don't think an inch matters, ask your girlfriend.

    Guy is sitting at the bar with his girlfriend and looks over and sees she is stroking the bottom part of a longkneck bottle up and down with her hand, and he asks her “what are you doing?”. She replies, “oh, just thinking about my old boyfriend”. Shocked, he says “don’t you ever think about me?!” She moves her hand up to the kneck and with her thumb and index finger starts stroking it and says “sometimes....”!
