2017 TRD PRO review/compare..Warning PIC HEAVY

My first TRD PRO arrived today and i was able to do a comparison between the 2017 TRD PRO, a 2017 4x4 Limited and my 2016 6" TRD Sport...The leather appears to be identical to the limited just a different color with red contrast stiching. The new power sliding rear window is nice and smooth. the rear tailgate key was change to a laser cut key. The TRD exhaust may have a LITTLE more rumble to it than stock *MAYBE* but nowhere as deep as the Magnaflow on my 2016. The ride is fantastic with the TRD tuned Fox suspension. My "BUT DYNO" did feel a power difference between the 17 Limited and the Pro..LOL heres some numbers...

TRD PRO LIMITED 2016 6" TRD SPORT
35.75" frt fender 35.25" frt fender 43.25" frt fender
36.75 rear fender 36.25 rear fender 44.5" rear fender
46" tailgate handle 45.5" tailgate handle 54" tailgate handle
53.5" mirror 53" mirror 60" mirror

and now the PICS*****

 

With that much done to your 16 why did you want the pro?

 

The seats are awesome in the Pro.

There can't be any power difference. The exhaust doesn't' really give a power increase.

 

I am keeping my 2016 was waiting to compare them side by side to make the decision

 

Oh so you haven't bought the pro yet? What are you thinking? Are you gonna pull the trigger?

 

Im the sales Manager at my dealership so I ordered one for myself 3 months ago...I just have so much money tied up in my 2016 that I can't let her go..lol

 

Excellent post OP!

 

Does the link to exhaust videos work?

 

Good post. It appears your modded 2016 is sitting about 8" higher at the tailgate and the front. I'm curious as to the money you have tied up in your mods, is it about the same money as getting a Pro and putting the same wheels/tires on it?

 

headlights and taillights are sweet, rest of it is meh. especially think they could have done much better on the wheels.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Agreed. Those wheels are terrible. The tires are a joke too.

 

Your 16" is hot !!

Thanks for pics and info man. Guys like you make this forum better than all

Why laser cut key ? So you can only goto dealer to get spare lol...im glad i got the 16' where i can get copies for $2 at home depot

 

So does the key inside the FOB actually work on the tailgate now since the Valet key is laser cut?

 

The key in the fob locks the glove box and will open the drivers side door if your fob battery dies. There's a separate key just for the tailgate.

 

Yeah for the 2016 but if you look at the picture posted on the 2017 key, the new valet key is laser cut and looks almost like it would work for the glove box as well.

 

key fob and tailgate laser cut keys open the same

 

Well thats still retarded. Hate having to unlock my truck, take the key I store in the glovebox out and then go to unlock the gate.

 

I'm not sure what's going on with that new key.
