    On my local dealer's lot there is a 17 pro MT, 15000 miles for 43000. Slightly lower than the 18 pro I'm getting.

    AND those parts are all warranted for 3/36000. None of my OR mods had that.

    Can’t you swap out fabric seats for all weather?

    If you have money, yes it is worth it. If you are a broke dick then no, it is not.

    About what I had a dealer down to in NH last year for current model.

    I paid 32 for my OR. They had the pro at 43.2.

    To date I have

    Prinsu cab rack
    Voodoo bed rack
    Tepui tent
    Front Fox 2.5 with resi + dsc
    Rear Fox 2.0 with resi + sca
    Jba UCA
    Pro grill
    Duratracs

    With those I'm $4,137 under the 2 print out offers I had. I'm sure there's a other $200 in rain visors and Nick nacks if you want to get real picky.

    The train pro is a great truck if you use it to it's limit. But if you plan on ripping stuff off and switching things out, the OR might be a better choice. But it's everyone's choice and nobody needs to justify any purchase to anyone , except a wife really. The pro is a sweet truck and I loved driving it. I also knew o wanted to be lifted and was putting in weight so for me I couldn't justify a pro if I was ripping out that super expensive suspension and buying another expensive suspension.

    I didn’t vote because the choices are neither my answer. It’s not worth a 10k+ msrp, but msrp or less is worth it, in my opinion. I wanted full, intact warranty, and I’m not changing or ripping out anything, so it’s worth it to me. I’ll drive it stock forever.

    $2,351 is the cheapest I've seen for the TRD Pro Fox shocks at Sparksparts.com. If you use the discount code tundradude34 you get an additional 5% off.

    Is that with the resi and compression adjusters + Dakar price? If so that's a smoking price.

    No Dakar, just a set of four factory OEM TRD Pro shocks. They're not adjustable.

    It’s worth it if you can still pay mortgage, eat good, drink good whisky, TRAVEL, throw your old lady a bone every once and a while, and not have to bust your ass affording it all.

    all of them

    Maybe depends on which part of UT. The two stores that I found at MSRP were the one in Twin Falls, ID and in Walla Walla, WA. My guess is they're lower volume stores, because the two here in the Boise area, and the couple I called in Salt Lake were all 4-5k over MSRP.

    $10-12K extra???? I'd say no for sure lol. I spent about $3-4K more on my pro than I could've gotten an equally optioned OR for. But then I would had a sunroof and I hate sunroofs!

    It's worth it if it's what you want. Opinions are not fact; someone saying it's worth it doesn't make it worth it, and vice versa. Look at the stats, decide for yourself if it is worth it. I can't stand people that judge others' opinions...especially on topics as trivial as truck builds :) OP - not directed at you at all, just a generalized statement.

    Me personally, I love my Pro, it's fun to drive, and looks awesome. That is enough to make me sleep comfy at night knowing it was a very worthwhile purchase :)
