1st TRD Pro in Texas solar octane!!

Saw this beauty today. I have to admit the new pros look sweet in person

 

Loving that color !

 

Congrats! Hopefully your wallet recovers

 

I'm kidding... Actually saw this on my way home today and called the dealer whom said it was sold. I u turned to check it out cause they said they didn't mark up TRD pros. Only to find out they do mark them up by 10,000. This one the guy paid 82k plus tax. Although it came with step bars, bed extender, and unlimited mile power train/engine warranty. This is the first one I've seen in person and it does look good.

 

You should look into that warranty and see if there is any small print. I would love to know the details of that one.

 

It was the biggest crock of sales bullshit. I didn't even recognize the name of the warranty company. Sales Guy tried to say that warranty is worth $5k. I did order a pro from them just to see if it comes in. Said they had more allocations coming...

So you didn't buy it?

 

It was sold. I am not the owner but it's in the wild if you're in DFW. Still have my 2.5 gen. I really can't get over this narrow windshield in the Gen 3

 

You get used to it…it’s world with the 14” screen but it’s actually not that bad overall.

Think of it as viewing the works in letterbox format like the old movies at the movies theater

 

I just block the windows and drive with the PVM. Like that guy who leveled half his town with a homemade tank because… I forget

 

I can't get over the 2022 plagued with problems or the way the exterior looks.

A color-matched grille and rear bumper would be the ONLY way I could buy one.
The TRD Pro looks better than any other trim model IMHO.

I plan to keep my 2014 for several more years.
Hopefully, Toyota will work out the bugs and the Gen 3 Tundra will grow on me.
But it would have to everything color matched.
Either a TRD Pro or sport trim.
No silver or chrome mustache on the front, and no chrome on the rear bumper.
I'm not sure WTF they were thinking..

But thanks for posting, I'll keep an eye out for it...

 

Lol at $82k.

Is the front suspension the same as the current pro units? The digi camo looks lame to me.

I don't keep up on the 22 side, do they really just want you to buy the bed step? To be fair there really isn't anywhere to grab on the 2.5's when you use the corner, I grab the edge of the bed but your hand is at a goofy angle still (coming from behind the truck). I guess I'm fortunate I'm still somewhat young and can do a little sideways jump into it.

 

Anyway to grab the VIN? Would help with the parts search.

 

I saw one unloading yesterday morning in the same color. Later on in the day I called and they said it was available so I offered 71 and trade in on my 21 of 61 for my truck,,,, they laughed!! So as of yesterday a PRO was still available with a high mark up I’m sure!!

 

That sucks. I thought Toyota of Denton didn't have markups? Then they put their logo on the left side of the tailgate because the license plate frame isn't enough.

I wonder why it wasn’t an extended warranty from Toyota? I guess there some benefits for the dealership for using other warranty companies…if I am understanding you correctly. 5k, that’s crazy as well. I got my 10 year warranty for 1300.

 

This color seems more red every time I see a picture. I initially disliked it as I found it too "orange," but it seems to be growing on me. Looks pretty cool!

 

Nice…I’m on a couple lists for a Pro, but don’t expect a call until next year. Gives me time to decide if I’d pay $15-25K more than my loaded SR5.

I expected the Pro to have running boards, but surprised they’re not the TRD boards.

 

funny how a TRD Pro doesnt have the TRD Aluminum running boards but the regular black dual steps.

 

I noticed the same thing, I would of suspected TRD boards.

 

I was surprised by those basic running boards as well.

 

I thought the pro came with upgraded control arms but I was mistaken. It does have mini TRD symbols on the front yellow led fog lights

 

In some photos I like the color, in some photos I’m not so sure. I loved my Inferno Pro and I’m hoping I like this as much.

I really want to see this in person as I know it will look different than all the photos.

Mine should be here any day, just waiting for the call from my sales guy.

 

It’s a good looking truck no doubt but I’m
Not sure it’s worth the additional funds. Better off upgrading an SR5
