    Toyota is offering 0% financing right now. I plan to keep my Tacoma and continue modifications for off-road, but I also would like a truck capable of towing so I'm considering the Tundra. I went to the local dealership lot and looked at them. The TRD Pro is flashy and has a lot of bells and whistles. Does anyone have any experience with the TRD Pro and the Fox suspension it has? Would I be better off to buy the SR5 and then add a BDS/Fox suspension ($2,900 dollars)?

    Price them up separately and compare the cost of your added suspension. Most guys over at Tundras.com that want to upgrade suspension at any point, go with the SR5. You're paying a high premium for the TRD Pro just to take off the suspension and do it up the way they want. If you want to keep the truck stock-ish-ish, then you can't go wrong with the TRD Pro, but if you're wanting to upgrade many things, SR5 is probably best way to go IMO. Check out the Tundras.com forum and you'll see a ton of info on there. Especially related to your situation.

    I agree with what your saying. I was playing with the online builder program and it looks like I can get all of the creature comforts that I want in the Limited model and then install my own lift and wheels.

    Just take a gander at the marketplace and look at all the people that are selling their Pro take-offs for "better" aftermarket parts.
