    That's just down the road from me and where my '15 Pro came from. Been there a few times for parts and service. If you're a fan of '90s basketball they have a small museum worth of stuff upstairs.

    no. It's perfect as is. It is extremely capable off-road and its already scratched up from bieng on the trails. It's an amazing truck. Not one complaint or issue.

    Yeah, Malone used to be in Albuquerque, sold his dealership to Larry Miller (awful dealer), and moved to Draper. I had good service from Malone when it was here, and they have been working with me and the price keeps going down and a good price for my TRD OR.

    We're looking for good brewpubs. Any recommendations?

    Just got my insurance cards and my 2015 TRD DCSB Sport is listed as a Pro. Did they interpret that from the VIN?

    Had my 2017 for 8 months, and only lost a couple grand when I traded her in. Doubt you could say that about many other trucks or cars out there.

    Thinking about some mods!
    Hey, Just joined the forum. Picking up my first Taco since my mid 80's SR5 on Monday. The Pro vs. OR discussion reminds me of my decision to buy a Golf R. It cost about $5K more than a similarly loaded GTI, but the R was only available at MSRP and the GTI's were discounted at least $4K. I bought the R, BUT it came with a bunch more power (296hp vs 210) and a Haldex all wheel drive. No sun roof though! Anyway, for me the Pro doesn't offer enough to pay the premium... one overpriced vehicle is enough!

    The exact same point as I made with the Lancer Evolution and STI example. Those models (Golf R included) are there own entity. They are well worth the extra price.

    Getting a hood scoop that will blind you in the sun and serves no purpose, along with some other after thought addons (that many people want to get rid of most of the time anyway) on the Pro aren’t worth it considering there is no power enhancement.

    Throw a supercharger on the Pro and then ask for 10k or more, and I’m buying one. Without that, I just watch others spend all the extra dough on little piddly features. Still a nice truck, but not worth it.

    Yeah. They do suck. I also have somewhat loud tires, a roof rack, and a ham radio, so I'm sure those don't help either.


    I'm actually putting a lot of consideration into redoing the whole stereo system and head unit with an Android Auto unit.
