2017 OR or 2019 TRD Pro?!

    Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on if the TRD Pro is worth upgrading to?

    I currently have a 2017 OR with 115,000 KM. Still warrantied until March 2024 or 120,000. I made the switch from a 2014 4R and although I do miss it at times having the bed makes up for everything that I miss about my Runner.

    With that being said, I'm either doing down the route of upgrading my OR (1" lift, softopper, new wheels, clazzio seat covers) but came across a 2019 TRD Pro, which comes with a hard top canopy. Doing a bit of a cost analysis, and if I were to do all of the above then the price would be pretty comparable to the asking price for the Pro. The Pro has 170,000 KM though.

    So the question for you all, is it worth jumping into a factory upgraded Pro with 55,000 more KM or just better to pick away mine? I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of the "snorkel" but do like the fox suspension, leather, sunroof and wheels... Also thinking about potential resale as well.

    if what you have has been reliable, well maintained, and cared for; I'd just keep it.
    The Pro's Fox suspension needs rebuilt often (how often is debatable), but with that kind of mileage on it, any shocks are suspect, but IMO the Fox are worth little to nothing, as I would want them rebuilt,,,,, wellll after their suggested interval.

    Keep what you have. Wait 15 years or 300k miles, then upgrade. Unless you happen to stumble across a 2020 Pro. The 2020 Pro came with electric adjustable seat, apple carplay, and LED headlights (which are awesome!!).

    Toyota nanny is delicate off-road, too much to break down. Being less complicated, the ‘17 is much more dependable.

    But as a daily mall and freeway driver, the ‘19 would be more comfortable.

    Thanks all! Wasn't sure if a 2 new year vehicle and it being a Pro would have that big of a potential resale impact, likely knowing myself 4-5 years down the road. Didn't realize fox's needed to be rebuilt often!

    Yeah, I'd just keep what you've got. The only real performance upgrade on the pro is the suspension, which you said you are already planning on doing to your lower mileage OR.
