Anyone upgrading to new TRD Pro

I am just wondering if a lot of 2016 Tacoma owners are considering upgrading to the new TRD Pro. I will just keep my 2016 TRDOR. I dont want the hassle of my wife asking me If I have lost my mind.

 

I will be looking into it, just trying to work on everything now. I study everything before I commit to something. Just kidding I won't be getting one it is nice and they went with some better quality components this time. But I am sure for all the extra money they are going to up charge it, you could do better yourself.

 

she already knows

 

If the LCA and UCA is longer and priced around 42k

 

I would be very surprised if this truck is close to 40k and not more than 45k. The TRD ORs and Sports top package cost between 39-41k.

I will be buying the grille and possibly shift knob. But that is all I will be doing.

 

This^ Toyota will market it it as a raptor alternative, and based on current OR prices and GM's Trail Edition Colorado, etc. This truck will easily be $42k plus.

 

$40K+ for a Tacoma...I don't care what they put on it, under it, or in it, it is still a mid-sized truck. I'm not a Nissan fan but I think their new "top-of-the-line) truck (not the standard Titan) will sell for around $45K.

 

Someone will upgrade/buy one and them spend another $8K wrapping it in vinyl so it doesn't get scratched.

 

You can get a full-size big three with all sorts of goodies after "rebates" for easily under $40k, Toyota knows they have a customer niche.

 

Nope.

 

Didnt someone do that with a 2nd gen Pro, I remember, then he sold it.

 

Seen that before

 

I was the same way... I bought my 2011 Tacoma for 27k when they first came out. I luckily took very good care of it and only put 45,000 miles on it so I sold it for $24,000 which was a very good down payment for the top packaged TRD OR. I now have about $4,000 left to pay for it. I would never had dropped $38,000 on a Tacoma if I didnt have that $24,000 from my 2011 Tacoma.

Mid-sized truck with full size truck price seems dumb to me as well. But what ever, I love my truck.

 

If memory serves me right...yes. I believe it turned into a shit storm.

 

They will ne the same. Just better coilovers and rear shocks.

 

Anyone who plans on upgrading things probably won't be getting one. IMO, there hasn't been any kind of Raptor competitor.

 

i dont need all the extras that toyota decided to put on the pro....i like things simple and will keep my TRDOR without tech package and manual tranny. ill add some clazzio leather seat covers and some fox 2.5 or walker evans suspension. dont feel like im missing out on anything

 

Internal bypass should be nice.

 

And you wont be.
