Would it be a better option to buy a Hood Scoop and wheels, or trade in my truck for a pro?

    Aesthetics.
    A non-functional hood scoop, is nothing but a lie.
    Better off investing in the functionality of your current truck. Upgrade the suspension, based on a philosophy of use. It can become better than a PRO.
    If you live in a metropolitan area, w/ stop and go traffic, an MT can become irksome.

    Not here to argue the merits of the Crawl Control system, but statements like this just come across as incredibly ill-informed and mostly negate your other statements.

    Crawl Control and Cruise Control are not related, except by virtue of the ECU having ability to control the throttle in both cases.

    Your statement is the equivalent of saying, “ABS is just a glorified parking brake”.

    CC is legit, and those who have needed it know it’s merit, but that’s a discussion for elsewhere.

    Were you there? And for the record it was $45, and it wasn't her fault her boyfriend beat her.

    OP, 10k is a lot if you were to consider those parts separately, but will the Pro hold resale value better long term :notsure:

    For $10k, I'd skip the Pro and get... a decent 2-3" lift (~$2000), Falken Wildpeak 285's on SCS Ray10 wheels (~$1700), Katskins leather seats (~$1300), aftermarket stereo upgrades (~$2000), trifold bed cover (~$1000), and a SSO slimline front bumper w/ winch (~$1800).

    Hell, that's pretty much what I hope to do with my own OR... except I'm adding some solid racks and a tent setup, as well.

    YOLO.
