2020 AG TRD PRO Camera Quality?!

Toyota says this is normal!

 

Here it is. Had all these plans for bigger tires and a small lift but right now I'm just enjoying the ride.

 

Smart move! I took my Pro off-road recently and WOW was I impressed. The truck is downright amazing right off the showroom floor. Spend or invest your money elsewhere.

 

I really wanted the MT but the wait was going to be a while. At first I thought my salesman just wanted a quick sale but sadly the MT are not rolling off the assembly line and headed in my direction.

He showed me the sheet on an AG that was due in the first week of December and I jumped on it. It showed up early and I couldn't be happier.

I've driven the AT transmission now for several weeks and I have no problems with it.

 

Any regrets not waiting for a 3-pedal Pro? 100% satisfied with your decision?

 

thanks for the hint. i’ll try out when i get home

 

I don't usually switch course and I'm pretty stubborn about what I like. That being said, no regrets. I really do like the feel of this AT transmission. I drive to work, the mall and small road trips with the wife and so far it's smooth as butter.

I plan to get this paid off and maybe add an older Toyota truck to the mix that has three pedals.

For quite some time I had a 1994 Toyota truck with three pedals and my 3rd Gen. Not sure what I was thinking when I sold the 94. From the moment it drove away I was kicking myself.

 

i didn’t test drive it. lol. just bought it and drove it off the lot.

 

Unsafe? Take that 20/20 vision, use your mirrors and turn your head around. The camera is just an aid, not the only thing you stare at while backing up.

 

Great to hear! I agree that the Pro model drives great on the streets.

I had a 1982 4WD SR5 yellow long bed pickup that I regret selling to this day. It was my first entry into the Toyota pickup truck world and I never looked back.

 

I'm preparing to buy my first Tacoma (and Toyota product) and have been really frustrated that I can not find a TRD Sport with the Panoramic 360 camera with the other packages I want anywhere in the state. I've thought the 360 camera is a "must have" for me so I have been delaying on pulling the trigger...then I found this thread.

Given the apparent dissatisfaction with the camera quality, would you guys lean more towards the 360 camera not being worthy of the search (and extra $650)?

 

I knew the quality when I bought and I’m still glad I got it even after having it for a bit now. It serves the intended purpose.

 

I find the 360 view useless if you need to squeeze in to a tight space. but i do like being able to toggle through the front camera and side cameras by just the click of a button.

 

Yeah, in some of the dealer photos of trucks it just looks like a blur of colors with pretty much indistinguishable surroundings so I guess that doesn't surprise me all that much. I was told yesterday by a dealer that the chances of getting the 360 camera without ordering and waiting 3-4 months is essentially zero in my region as the Gulf States distributor does not select the "advanced" tech package in their builds in combination with the leather package, which is beyond stupid to me. If I change my search area to the west coast, just about every dealer has it.....sucks.

 

I consider the camera quality: utter shit.
It is works, but barely. I am very disappointed with the 2020 in that regard.

I just rented a Ford Edge 2020, the cameras are an absolute DREAM.
