Is the 2020 TRD Pro worth the extra cash over a Limited?

Or your kids or dogs!!

 

haha no kids yet but my dogs are too big to regularly get into the truck. 160 and 140 lbs. ive been thinking about getting a ramp of some sort.

 

I purchased a 2020 trd pro back in March it is my first Toyota so I wasn’t familiar with all the trims and such, I’ve done a bunch of research since owning the truck and I’ve realized the trd pro is not worth the extra cash all the trucks are basically the same with different levels of electronic options, plus you have to get the Fox shocks rebuilt every 50k miles for strict on road use and that interval drops with continued off road use, if I knew then what I know now I would’ve bought a 4Runner instead lol

 

Had the sickest truck at daycare drop today…then I moved a bunch of pallets in style.

 

You're going to love the truck. I love my 2020 Pro. Add some 285/295 Nitto RGs and you're golden.

 

You might want to look into some cat shields also.

 

I’m going to decide on tires this weekend. Thinking I’ll probably do 34” there is a lot of space in the wheel well with the P rated tires!!

Ordering a new set of RB20 running boards today. I had them on my double cab the big step is amazing.

Not sure what cat shields are?

 

Nice ! Great choice

 

They protect your catalytic converters from theft

 

Looks like it had sonar added; I'm pretty sure my 2020 doesn't have the sensors on the front and back like yours. I'm pretty jealous, that was my one regret.

 

The cruise control sensors? One of my fav features of the 2018 I had.

 

Actual tires will transform it. Which ones are you thinking?

 

Some ridge grapplers will make it look cherry

 

Thinking KO2…might go Nitto. I need something that can perform in the snow. I don’t really drive much though, so I have some flexibility.

 

Strongly recommend Wildpeaks - but it is personal preference.

I planned on going with KO2s on my 2021 - talked to local shop and they basically said “it’s your money - but we don’t sell many of those” in an effort to dissuade me. Lead me to do my research and noticed 2 overwhelming trends in reviews - 1. A lot of people saying the most recent iteration is no where as good as it was 6-8 years ago on the KO2 and secondly the hydroplaning/wet handling absolutely sucked - even in comparison to other A/T tires which in general aren’t great.

Ridge Grapplers also have a strong following (this is what shop tried to sell me on - and what I would have went with if not for finding a nice set of used WildPeaks here) - but cost wise the WildPeaks are a tad less I believe.

 

Cooper Disco’s or Toyo AT3s if you care about the weight.

Mickey Baja Boss AT’s if you don’t care about the weight.

 

Not if you're handy and can do suspension work/upgrades yourself. I forewent a Pro, got a Limited, and built it better than any stock Pro for significant cost savings. Where I lack a bed stamp, I make up for a massive rack of balls.

 

Falken Wildpeak AT3W LT 285 70 r18?

Cooper Discoverer?

Nitto Ridge Grappler?

 

I’ve had ko’s, ko2’s, wildpeaks, duratracs and now Cooper rugged treks. Best all around was the Falken, ko2 was ok, rugged treks look the best (haven’t had them in snow yet) and duratracs sucked. My dad bought Baja boss at’s and I wish I copied him.



And 295/70r18 will fit on your pro as it is

 

Hmm maybe those Baja Boss are the way to go! Definitely don’t see those very often

can I get 295 70 r18 on the TRD with no rubbing?

 

A 295 70 r18 mIckey Baja boss will rub the front sway bar on full lock and have ¼” clearance of a stock UCA. It’s tight. That’s the widest (actual) tire of the 295 size class.
They look amazing though

 

Just found a whole thread on the 295 70 18. That seems to be the sweet spot for the Pro!

 

Skip the Nittos. Too loud.

BFG K02s or Toyo Open Country AT3s or AT2s is where it’s at.

 

But why overpay by ~$7k so you can make $3k when you sell your suspension (which you will replace with suspension that’s going to cost the same or more; otherwise, you’re downgrading).

If you’re gonna mod your truck anyway, that becomes a pretty expensive bed stamp.

 

go read what's op wants and need

 

So you want upgrades with the money saved to convert. So they say. Here is the starting price if they come with them from the dealer.

 

I really wanted the upgraded tech of the 2020 which has already been a noted convenience…even though I keep leaving my keys in the truck!! Plus I got $4k more for my 2018 on the Pro which closed the gap

I run my own business plus have two kids…even swapping these tires is going to be a stretch for my available time!

 

Yeah I saw that. My point was that you don’t make up the price differential by selling takeoffs that you have to replace with aftermarket.

 

that 7k is not just for the shocks itself, some of it is from the color match trims, pro leather seat, front grill, pro leds. If he wants some fox dsc, he only need to put another 1k in.
And it’s easier talking to wifey for 1k v 4k
