2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

Well shit, if the Pro comes before the OR you ordered what will you do?

 

How close are you to the cab mount? The wheels I!m gonna go with are 8" with a +5 offset. Yours are 7" with a +4 offset I found out. The.wheels I want will bring me out 12mm farther and 14mm less inner clearance than you. Still think I'll be ok? Yes I have the Tacoma pro.

 

Honestly I don't know, I haven't climbed in the well to measure. Just got wider tires as opposed to the 16" wheel. I wanted to get a little more ground clearance as opposed to a different lift .

 

No prob, if you get a chance, do you think u could check for me with the tire at its closest point to the cab mount? I'd really greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

 

You mean just sitting with the wheel straight or st full turn? And I can do better, I'll take pics lol

 

Full turn, where the tire is closest to the frame on the back side of the tire. I'm not worried about trimming plastic, I'm worried about metal, lol. Also, a pic of how close the tire gets to the upper control arm would be very helpful as well!

 

Because I don't trust the dealer, i'm going to stick with the TRD OR... FOR NOW.. My broker called me last Friday and mentioned that the cost will be about $1,000 above invoice so i'm looking at a sale price of around $34K (tech+prem+TRD bead wheels).

If I get a call about the pro, the guy at longo said $300 off MSRP. This sounds good to me, but the dealer has leverage and thinking about dealing with them pisses me off lol. But I will sit down and work the numbers and then make a decision. I have a pretty good idea what the TRD OR will cost me and it's a great price. It's the Cement color that's keeping me on the list. I've seen two in the wild and OMG it's boner inducing beauty LOL

I think the Pro will have better value in the future. I want to see what Nissan does with the Frontier though. That's how far i'm looking ahead. I'm going to be driving a great truck already, but Nissan is what I prefer and they along with the Ranger are the only ones that will give Toyota major competition. So in 3 years time, that will give me enough time to assess the competition and either Toyota goes toe to toe or I return my awesome truck for an even more awesome one. With the way Nissan is slow to develop and if they develop, they develop the wrong model, I'm not holding my breathe.

 

I mean if you're looking that far into the future you could look into the upcoming Ford Bronco and Jeep pickup as well haha.

Good to know about the $300 off, I'll see if I can get that for my Pro.

But yeah Cement is amazing.

Get the Pro.

Do it.

 

We'll see..

Good luck on the 300.. I was already happy paying sticker

 

I've paid a deposit and now I'm just waiting on a delivery date for a 2017 TRD Pro Cement.

@Bray1197 - your truck looks wicked. I told myself no mods on the Tacoma, but I'm not sure I can keep that promise seeing your rig!

 

Awesome! What price did you work out?

 

DO IT!!! I made a huge list prior to having the truck and said this is it, this will be the ultimate truck and I won't need anything else.......

On order now and was not included in my list:

-Morimoto Hid's
-Nitro Gear 4.88's
-Arb Front diff locker

And I have more stuff I want too lol

-6lb vertical mount propane tank for rear bumper (painted cement to match truck)

-rock lights to go inside swing arm (for food prep lighting)

-Bluetooth accessory for spod, so I control all accessories with my phone

-Bluetooth control for winch

-Morimoto LED's for high beams

-Magnusen supercharger... whenever it comes out and a tuner is available with it

And I'm sure they're will be more lol
It never stops

 

It's been raining all day, I haven't fogot lol

 

I just got my white TRD PRO last saturday. Whooo hooo.

 

no worries, Whenever you can!

 

So my TRD Pro in Cement is on the way to the dealer - ETA to the dealership is between Jan 13th and the 17th. Only took a month! I found it through a car broker that my brother had used to buy his last car (he doesn't enjoy negotiating with sales people ..that's 1/2 the fun!). I asked the broker if he could find a TRD Pro AT in Cement and a week later he found a dealer with one coming in and nobody on waiting list for it! Dealer is selling for MSRP $44,700 with only mud-flaps and floor mats as extras. Also asked for lockes for wheels to be added after seeing TRD Pro on blocks here.

Now I just need to go pick it up 7hours away in a couple of weeks and drive it back to San Francisco. Yeah my new city driver!

The one thing I need to buy for it asap is a lumber/ladder rack for kayaks...any advice...Thule?

 

There's a Cement AT sitting down here in Houston.

 

Def not a Thule! I vote prinsu designs or front runner

 

Has the rush for cement ended...are they now just sitting on lots gathering dust? .
I did see one in Carlsbad CA listed on AutoTrader and CarGurus for MSRP but when I called, they didn't know anything about it - I say it was a glitch or they had one briefly. There are a few others on lots, but way over MSRP. If there is something closer to SF, would love to know.

 

Unfortunately, my kayaks are 17 - 21' long, so need more of a lumber rack style...but also need it to not make the truck any higher as parking garages can be "cozy". Both Prinsu and Front Runner look like they sit on cab or low in bed.
