If you can get a deal like @TenBeers go pro hands down. Yes it won’t have a moon roof or Jbl speaker system, but it’s a pro with an upgraded suspension and hold its value because they are “special”.
He says he got it 3k below msrp making it a hell of a deal especially how the market is for pros.
Even if you can get msrp it’s really not worth it. I ended up going OR because I wanted a long bed, jbl system, and the moon roof you’re not alone haha. The price difference I got a new set of tires and wheels of MY choice and I don’t get stuck in mud like those Goodyear tires. I also put in a 6112/5160 bilstein lift and the ride is amazing now. It got a little bit more stiff but turns 10x better. You’ll see with the OR when you turn too fast it feels like you’re going to roll over but with the suspension it’s solid.

Good luck with your choice.

That's exactly the color I'm going for. They aren't allotted by Toyota right now for the premium package etc so the only way to get that color in a 2018 wth the premium package is to special order and I want only that color so I'm willing to wait.

What you're saying about the pro does make sense, and I'm getting a stellar deal for either model, but with a slight pang, I have to go for the offroad.

Same same. It’s hard enough to find a TRD OR with a manual, let alone the Pro. Plus, I really like blue. Happy with my truck and it hasn’t way better suspension now and it was still cheaper than the pro. To each their own, but I love my truck.

i got a Pro and would absolutely get it again. but i'd be happy in a OR also... both are great. i prefer the Pro, and i'm keeping the Pro's lift so no need to save cash for suspension in my case.

Hey Guys thanks for all the help - this definitely helped. I am convinced that the pro would be better and probably really great to own. And I am getting a great deal - basically at invoice+150 for either car since I'm ordering. So the pro would likely be a better thing to have longer term in terms of value.

However, I've decided to go with the OR. The JBL sound and moonroof are important to my wife ( and to me as well ) and she's being great letting me trade in the Audi Q5 for a truck.

In addition, I will be adding other types of accessories like a ARB fridge, racks, roof top tent etc which all adds up and money saved from the Pro isn't negligible. If I was a serious off roader I'd go for the pro, but I'm a mild off roader - I like doing it once in a while but it's more of an overland journey type approach that I'm attracted to than purely technical offroading.

Congrats on your choice!

It won’t take much to make it better than a Pro.
