    Hey guys!

    So i've owned a couple of Toyotas in the past (Supra, FJ Cruiser and currently a 4Runner) and i've had good luck with most of them. Always loved the Tundras and its come time that we need more room!

    I really love the TRD Pro in Cement but they are hard to find and apparently don't qualify for rebates from Toyota??

    Anyways i'll be heading to the dealer tomorrow to see what is up. Anyone have any advice? I for sure want, cement colour, TRD exhaust, some kind of upgraded suspension (mild lift), no chrome, sunroof, heated seats.

    Looking forward to interacting with everyone!

    Most dealerships sell them quickly. You can always place a deposit on one to hold it.

    True... there are 2 in Canada at dealerships (according to my source) but the fact that they won't "deal" on them puts me off a little.... i've been told they can basically build a SR5 into something very similar, that sound true?

    Minus the bed stamp-

    Katskinz seats
    TRDPro shocks
    TRD shiftknob
    TRD dual exhaust
    TRDPro headlights
    TRDPro wheels
    Black badges

    ... I think that’s all; unless I’m missing something.

    right, i do like the looks of the bed stamp tho! haha.... so i'll see what happens tomorrow. I really love the heritage grill but i guess with the new crash avoidance system it isn't possible (yet) to put one on a 2018, is that true?

    Welcome from WY. Yes it is true you can't put a heritage grill on 2018. TSS can get confused. Guys are doing it with some good results. You can't level or lift a 2018 to. Toyota will void your warranty. Total BS. Try and find a 2017 Pro. TSS should be names Toyota Pain in the ass (TPIA)

    The dealer i'll be using advertises and has already told me that they offer suspension upgrades for the 2018 so i wonder if its performed by them that warranty will remain?

    What he said. I was looking for a cement one as well. Dealership wouldn’t budge on price because they were stuck on it being a rare color... I was like I can go on the website and order it for fuck sake... it’s not that rare. So I saved 8k and got the Unicorn... THE PRO!!!!!

    UPDATE:
    Went to the dealer today, they have a fairly worked on 2018 in Cement that they have painted and colour matched all the chrome and added flairs so it resembles a PRO.... all of this costs so $ obviously. As i said only 2 PRO's in country and honestly i like the new tech in the 2018's, the gauges are also better (IMO) and it has a somewhat modern key (still wish it was keyless with a starter like the Fords)

    Took it out for a rip, drives nice, good power, sounds great (even with the TRD exhaust). Not sure how i feel about the cloth seats in a truck this pricey (katskinz as was mentioned), seat heater button is in an odd spot.

    Anyways i got some good numbers and info to mull over on the weekend. trade for my 4runner was way low so i'll possibly sell it privately.

    Also they did explain that a toytec lift would affect the warranty in regards to suspension and such, TRD Pro would not.
