Should I buy pro or off-road?

This is an odd question Brian. You're asking if you should buy a high-end off road vehicle or a top of the line off-road vehicle based upon on road driving.

This is like asking "I'm trying to decide between a Mustang GT and a Mustang Cobra but can't tell which is better in snow."



Are you sure you're not asking about an Off-Road vs a Sport? Most guys looking at a Pro want the Pro because of what it is.

 

This is an option now? It wasn't a few years ago.

 

If I could get a MT, 4-door (casue kiddos), and either LB or SB, I would be in a SR or SR5. The only reason I have a Sport was MT and I do love my truck.

 

They don't sell a SR5 with MT.

 

If you don't mind the short bed and limited color choice, get a Pro. If you want a longer bed or the color you want, OffRoad.

 

If your going to mod it get the OR if not then the Pro.
Btw welcome to TW and enjoy your new truck.

 

whoops my mistake.
I guess it is a TRD or Pro only option.

 

Hahaha. You are funny.

To clarify you get more than just a sticker. Do your research and then give the OP advice. Suspension, wheels, and locker alone are well worth it. Plus you can get a MT in an OR.

OP, this subject has been addressed so many times on here that if you search this topic and can’t decide them just go with your gut feeling. It’s a matter of your preference. Either way the Pro is really a hard sell since it’s soooo much more pricey. I got my 2019 OR Double can for $31,500 out the door. No Pro will even approach that even though they are cool in their own way I guess.

 

I’m aware of the “upgrades”.
I was implying that most OR owners bought it for the sticker.
Since CC and the locking diff are about as useful as the scoop for 90% of OR owners.

 

Welcome to the forum...and isn't it a great choice to have??!! I opted for a Pro - supposed to go into production next week - because I live on an old farm road that beats suspensions up and wasn't planning on doing a lot of mods.

 

Simple. Look at the price difference. Can you build the OR to be better than the Pro for that difference in price? If yes than buy the OR...


















Spoiler alert you can

 

If you want access cab/long bed ,Off-road is your option.

 

bigger questions is these two options:
1. TRD PRO
2. TRD OR with $10,000 aftermarket budget.

Trust me, TRD OR with $10,000 in mods is a far better tool.

 

Again.
CC, the locker, hell even 4x4 is about as useful as the scoop for 90% of OR owners.
They even make an OR without 4x4.

 

you can't get MT in SR5. I was pissed.

 

yeah I was mistaken. Will edit.

 

I had a MT in SR5 on my 2nd gen. There was no reason to pay $4k extra for the TRD with wheels I wanted to replace, a locker I'll never use and bilsteins I put on for $100 each in my driveway.

SR5 MT abolition was a terrible decision by Toyota in my opinion.

 

I’m old fashioned. I liked my manual 4x4 SR5 back when I had my Tacoma. I knew I’d be lifting it so why spend the coin on suspension that would be coming off anyways. Crawl control didn’t attract me. Only selling point was the elocker which for the price difference between what I had and the OR, I could buy an air locker and put a large chunk toward a lift or better tires. I know this doesn’t really help your question but it really depends on what you plan on doing with it.

edit: I had a gen 2. I wasn’t aware you can’t get a MT SR5 on the gen 3’s.
