TRD Pro vs Off road with KDSS

That is the one thing I really don't like on the Pro

 

Let me rephrase buddy haha, thank you for those!!
I mean WHAT can you put up there, and HOW does it balance, there's like one crossbar

 

There are 4 crossbars which you can move top level / down and forward / backward.



BTW, this video is for a April 1st Joke. Just open it to show you no of crossbars. LoL

 

the rest y'all aren't all over 7 foot 6? Sounds like Pro owners are compensating for their diminutive height...

 

We held out in 2022 for +4 months for a ORP WITHOUT a sunroof and finally gave up.

 

The Pro roof rack was useless on the FJ Cruiser and is useless on the Pro.

Hot take, the best factory roof rack was the early trail edition rails (though I'm biased, I swapped them onto my '21 ORP).

 

Welcome @kane22. I have had the chance to drive a Limited, ORP with KDSS, SR5P, and Pro back to back. These were all on-road test drives. The Limited had the best on-road manners of the bunch but sacrificed some off-road capabilities. The ORP with KDSS and Pro were pretty similar with on-road manners. The SR5P showed the most amount of body roll and lacked a few creature comforts. I have owned a Limited and two Pros. There is nothing that I have thrown at either of them that they weren't able to take in stock form. I don't do any crazy off-road trails and do mainly forest service roads and some deep snow driving. I also prefer the dual climate control and factory remote start on the Limited and Pro trims. I went with the Pro for my last 2 4Runners because I planned on keeping them mostly stock except for some armor and lighting, and I'm a sucker for cool colors. At the end of the day, make the decision that you'll be happy with. You can get $4k-$5k off MSRP on the ORP trim if you are willing to travel out of state. For the Pro trim, you'll be at MSRP at most dealers.

 

Thanks for your input. I want the Pro, but is it worth the extra money to me...I'm not sure.

 

What features of the Pro have you leaning towards one?

 

It's just based on looks, minus the roof rack. Did some more checking this morning. Looks like $46k for a ORP non KDSS is easy to find. The best I can find on a Pro is $56k. Not sure I can talk myself into that.

 

Looks lol

 

You can get Pro looks on an SR5 for 1,500 bucks

 

Wheels alone are $1800. It will be an Off-road or Pro for me, locker is a must.

 

Does the Pro look cooler than this SR5?

 

$1,800 wheels, $1,500 Pro grill plus blacking stuff, $2000 locker. That's $5,300 plus $40,000 = $45,300 Saved you $11,000

 

Don't forget a lift and tires. If you the goal was to build an off road beast and you didn't care about a warranty or resale value, I could see going that way.

The ORP is the sweet spot for value and capability for what I need, but the Pro gets me aroused

 

So just bought the PEM Pro wheels and grill, the p

I just bought the OEM Pro wheels with center caps for $883(EBay),

 

How do you know if they're real or reproductions? Not saying they were, but is there some way to tell?

 

Just called a few more dealers that had some of the cheap Pro's without any added on crap...all pre sold. It looks like it's coming down to an ORP or keep my Tacoma and move on with the day

 

The Toyota stamping on the back is one way and also packaging.

Thanks, good to know. I've read so much about counterfeit parts lately, some of them look pretty good.

 

May be stock TRD Pro wheels Made in Mexico? Not even Made in USA, even though they are installed in USA?

 

That question can only be answered by you. Unless the Pro has something that you must have, that’s not available on the ORP, then it sounds like your heart is set on the ORP.

 

I have a set of FSW replica's and you can really tell the difference, BUT you do have a point these could be such a good copy that you can't tell. My thinking was they were only $100 more than the FSW's so either way I was good with them.

 

Yes, the Pro looks much better than that poorly modified, hideous SR5...

 

No, my heart was set on a Pro, but I keep having my heart broken lol. It might have to be a ORP buy a set of tires and it is was it is.

 

Since you aren't too far from me, you should be able to get an ORP without KDSS for less than $46k with the dealer discounts. Mine was discounted to $46k and it has KDSS.

 

Hey all, new here.

OP, my only suggestion is to pick a truck, then not be a dick about what you picked. You will sound stupid and petty.
