Buy a Pro or Trd off road and upgrade along the way?

Madtown · Jan 22, 2019

If I was to do it over again a left over 18 Pro or a Certified 17 Pro would be my choice. I don't like the sunroof in my OR, prefer the added headroom.

haha! It's such a fun debate on TW.

Here's why I spent $85,000 on my TRD Pro (it was actually only $43,669 but I'm adjusting for the myth perpetuated on here):

I liked the sum of all parts... quite simple.

When looking at comparable Sports and OR's on the lot, the difference didn't fall much more than $5-6k once premium and tech were tacked on. I'm sure some people have dug for deeper discounts, but I couldn't get them to budge out of the 37-38k range.

So then it came down to the next question "are these add-ons worth $5k?". To me, yes they were. I loved how the Pro looked and I knew that if I bought a sport or OR then I would end up at minimum buying wheels, fogs and the pro grill.

Call me crazy, but if you're going to build a Taco with the intent to mod to your heart's desire, wouldn't it make the most sense to get a 4wd SR5?

It does make more sense. Before ya'll throw food at me, this is just a for instance. A build out of the cheapest SR for comparison and it is still not cheap.

None taken, i have nothing to prove to "Internets" and been on this forum for many years, so i know some people just have their stance on a topic
I ordered at toyotaofrenton.com but toyotaofpuyallup.com offered the same @ MSRP one was just closer than the other to me (ask for Chan at Renton or Josh at Puyallup)

There is a thread with people posting their 2019 Prices if your interested, many examples of MSRP PRO purchases

You posting $45k makes me believe you are looking at the automatic transmission, because that is a close number, but the MT is $43k and change after delivery

Not taking a stance or anything just trying to make sense of your posts. You should've mentioned in the beginning that you got the MT (which costs $2400 less than auto, MSRP: $44,060) while we're here comparing prices on trucks with auto trannies, lol. Enjoy your truck!
