Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

How do you like your Weathertech wind deflectors? I seem to have a lot of wind noise around the windows of my new pro and was wondering if they would help. Thanks

 

They are great. Easy to install - the rears do require you to put two clips in he channel on both sides - simple to do. I drive the highway each way tyo work and they seem to cut down on road noise. I'm taking the truck on a longer drive today - mostly highway - so I'll really have a chance to see about the noise.

 

Thanks for your response enjoy the road trip.

 

Just bought it last night, loving it!

 

The AG is a great color - nothing like it out there. Kind of the same when the 4-Runner came out with the original green with the 3rd gen. Stunning - congrats

 

Thank you!

 

For anyone that was interested in my Cosmoline under coating project, I’m documenting the progress on this thread. Tons of pics >>

Nice truck welcome to the AG Club.

 

A lot of AG Pros being bought buy members of the forum. Only 5000 made per year, 4 colors available, if split evenly that 1250 of each color. I don't think were gonna be seeing a lot of leftover AG's left at the end of the year like we had with the Voodoo blues from 2019.

Are any of you getting a discount off a msrp? Or maybe getting a higher value on your trade-in?

 

There are a handful for sale in the northeast that have been on the lots a while. I’ve had mine since October and they even discounted it $4k.

 

I got a good deal on mine. it worked out to be just over 4 k off list but that was combo of trade and other things but i am happy with it, There are some things i am not happy with but nothing in life is perfect

 

Congratulations and welcome to Team AG!!!

 

I saw one sitting on the lot at Toyota of Scranton this afternoon - it is on their web site.

 

I have seen only one AG Pro in the wild and it was parked at a fast food restaurant. And this part of the country is Tacoma land, almost like Hawaii. They are almost as rare as Gladiators and Rangers.

 

I was debating between an AG Pro (thus why I'm subscribed here) and loaded Cement OR both with the 6MT. Went in last week and they said no AG Pro 6MT within 1k miles, they wouldn't be able to get allocation, and even if they did there's no way I'd get it below MSRP. On the other hand, able to order me the Cement OR for few thousand off, making the differential more like $5-6K+.

Ended up going with the OR. (While I do like the AG, I'm a slight bit more of a fan of the Cement, so not too upset going that direction, sorry. )

 

The difference is made up in resale. AG Pro's will bring in top dollar due to their rarity. My guess is that only 1250 Pro's will be sprayed in Army Green for the 2020 model year. 3-pedal AG Pro's are a rare bird.

 

Decided to go old school today. Love the look personally. White walls out!

 

I would love the see the exact number, also, will there be a 2021 AG Pro? I will enjoy mine but I plan to keep it tip top for that reason, should hold it's value to a certain extent I guess.

 

Two problems I see with that:
1. Generally the special Pro color trickles down the next year into the rest of the lineup, thus becomes less unique/rare pretty quickly. It's fun to have it that first year, but don't get too attached to the idea the your color is super rare because they'll start popping up next year in other trucks.
2. Due to circumstances, I'm trading my 19 for a 20, but don't plan on selling/trading it again for a long time, so resale isn't a major concern (though the Tacoma resale value in general is a nice selling point and security blanket and probably the only reason I'm even able to do the trade I'm doing now).

 

Try finding a used Pro in Barcelona Red or Cement. Your selection is pretty limited, hence the high resale.
