New Pro owner

Hey guys! Just traded in my 2018 ZR2 diesel for a manual TRD Pro. Had to drive 2.5 hours to go look at the Pro and got lucky with the trade. I had a good trade in scenario and the manager really like the ZR2, he was driving around the Pro before so him being a fan of off road trucks definitely helped. I really liked the ZR2 but I needed to another manual in my life and the automatic only ZR2 sealed its own fate. The ZR2 was loaded to the gills with an original MSRP of $51,500. Chevy dealers are throwing huge incentives on them and killing their resale value right now so that did not help me with the trade, but I got what I needed to after some deliberation. So far i love the Pro. I had a '12 TRD OR a few years back and this truck is definitely leaps and bounds better than that one.

My firs "mod" is going to be a shifter ball for the transmission as I am not a fan of the TRD one. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good one? I drove a '17 OR that had a ball with orange lettering and it felt perfect but the dealership has no idea who it was made by.

 

I’ve been looking at a manual Pro as well. How do you like yours so far? How do you like the way the manual transmission is shifting?

 

congrats

Welcome back!!

The shifter they had might have been this one from sickspeed:
SHORT THROW SHIFTER SELECTOR 12X1.25

Used them on both of my manual tacomas's and I love the weight and feel. All different colors and engraving options.

 

Honestly, it is great. Very easy and light throw. The clutch is pretty light as well. No complaints about it at all.

 

That looks exactly like the one from the dealership! Thank you!

 

Nice, a pro manual is a sweet find

 

Check out the OEM boot retention collar if you go with the Universal knob, it's $25

 

Do you have backup sensors?

 

Welcome. The availability of a manual transmission 4x4 was and is a major factor of why I went with a Tacoma.

 

Where do I get that? From Toyota?

 

Yes, there are backup sensors on the truck as far as I know.

I wasn’t sure if the 19 Pro came with backup sensors and cross traffic alert

It's a 2018, not a '19.

 

It was an '18 for an '18 swap. Needed a manual.

 

Congrats on the new PRO. I'm sure you will get years of great service from it. My favorite paint, BLACK. Let's see some side view pics.
