Front and rear lockers are way more capable off-road than a rear locker and "fake" lsd, (I say fake as it's simply ABS controlled wheel movement that they call LSD). Crawl control is simply the fake LSD engaging, if you have a real locker up front there is absolutely no need for it.

As for the interior features, you can add them all easily & cheaply (except the power rear window & smart key entry, that would be cost prohibitive). But if you are going down the "frilly" stuff argument, you can't get the headlights / taillights from the pro in a cost efficient manor either on the offroad.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Bilsteins for the road. My 2wd Tundra has them and they are great (the original real Bilsteins ones that came with the TRD package lasted 100k), I also have them on all of my other road-only cars. The few off-road vehicles I've tried them on, I've hated them.

 

Price it

 

MSRP SR5 4x4 DCSB = $33.8
MSRP offroad DCSB = $36.3

You don't think you can get 2 lockers for $3k? ($500 for Detroit, $900 for ARB). That's probably what I'd pick front and back respectively, but you can get lockers from $300 and up, plus better deals than the MSRP I used. All the name brands are probably better quality than the OEM Toyota ones, certainly stronger.

Then, if you consider you can get better deals on an SR5 than Offroad.

 

Plus JBL, interior goodies? SR5 just looks cheap.

 

As I said, if you want to add up the "frilly stuff" then you can't ignore the Pro lights and junk like that in your comparison. But, you simply can't dispute that if you want the ultimate offload truck the SR5 4x4 with aftermarket lockers & suspension is the absolute best buy. So your initial argunment of the offroad being better value than the Pro and the Pro being Toyota marketing only is simply stupid, as the SR5 4x4 is the best value.

 

Like I said, my opinion I don't really care either way..lol

I like the way the Pro 4R Looks and for my 45k it would get my $$. I have an Off Road Taco with the as you put it "toyota branded junk bilsteins" I believe. Lol. All good and no complaints. I'm not crawling the Rubicon in philly. I will be hitting the pine barrens and possibly upstate pa soon enough though...

The Pro Taco does have the Fox Susp though right? Doesn't the Pro 4Runner have real Off Road tires though..?

 

Damn

Should have bought a 2.7L 2wd then made it the ultimate tuck.

 

You seem to ignore that I added 4×4 and 3.5 to my comparison. Some things you can't do cost effectively yourself. But making a better offroad vehicle from an SR5 than an offroad or pro for cheaper is not one of them.

 

You sure are butt hurt about the Pro! If it's what someone wants and they buy it with their hard earned money I am confused why you would care? Be happy with what you have and quit being a hater!
