    Hey everyone,

    Got my Tundra back in 2015. I have been debating if I wanted to trade it in for a 2021 TRD PRO since I only have 37k miles on it and can get a good trade in value. However, I do still like some of the finer interior features of my current one.

    Have any of your "upgraded" or converted to something of the likes of the TRD Pro? I figure its just the shocks, sway bars, and aesthetic stuff.

    Already have the full exhaust and skid plate.

    I'd really just like to open her up onto some dirt roads out in Joshua Tree so I wont be doing anything too intense.

    First things first though...wheels and tires. I was thinking about just getting some Bridgestone KO2s. They should fit according to the sticky thread.

    Glad to be here!

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! If you're truck is doing everything you need it to, my recommendation is to hold on to it. You can add wheels/tires/suspension for a lot less than the cost of the upgrade to the 2021. However, if there are features on the 3rd gens that you really like, you'll have to evaluate whether those features are really worth the cost. Imagine a life with no truck payment.

    Welcome. The pro is just some nice shocks, nice wheels, and the exhaust. You could easily just buy those shocks or other premium shocks for your truck and save money

    Yeah, after some basic research, that looks to be the case and TRD Pros are about 6 months out for orders so its just not even a reasonable proposal haha. Thank you for the input!
