Check the rear shock reservoir is not contacting the truck body/fender. I have read a few of the members' mount was loose or had the mount/reservoir slightly contacting the undercarriage. If that's the case the dealer will make the adjustment or modification needed.

I can't offer any reliability or personal experiences, but I think the new Tacoma looks really good inside and out. If I had the need or opportunity to add a second vehicle, the new Tacoma would be high on the list. In regards to the quicksand; that color is AWESOME. I believe you are able to...

I think there's a little bit of misunderstanding. The door guards that members are referring to are clear vinyl protection applied to the edges of the doors, part of the Toyota vehicle protection plan that most Pros seem to come with (mine did on hood, doors, mirror, etc.) What I'm gathering...

Good observation. I do know Toyota is part owner of Subaru; wonder if Subaru's rating is absorbed/included with Toyota's survey rankings. Subaru's Eyesight Technology is pretty sweet. I test drove an outback before settling on a 4runner. Their products are very nice and swanky for the price.

There is a possibility you'll have tire rubbing while backing up and with the steering wheel at full lock. The offset on the TRD wheels is different than the stock trail wheels. Toyota trims the bumpers and pushes the mudguard forward on all the TRD Pro 4runners. The link below details the TSB...

What part number is the 6112 set up that you ordered? I ask because there was a revision to the 5th Gen (2010-2017) 6112 that addressed the inconsistent heights. If I remember correctly the part number for mine was 47-259768. The original 6112 had 4 groves for adjustability on the shock body...

Please do. I'd be very interested on seeing how they look

I honestly think you have a great offer at 36k for your TE. About the only thing I got extra was free gap coverage insurance. The Pro's are in high demand and dealerships know this. You can also push for a better/lower interest rate on financing, but that's really more based on your credit and...

That dealer then can choose their price for what they will charge/ bargain with the customer. Just another trick of the trade in Dealerland. :AK47: That's kind of the feeling I got while talking to the salesman. I still tried to negotiate, but in the back of my mind I knew I was just burning...

Agreed, lucky is the word. The TRD Pro Tundra is a sexy truck as is the Tacoma TRD Pro, but I prefer the looks of the 4runner. I thought about waiting for the 2018's, but there is no clear indication as to what and when Toyota plans to update the 4runner, so it wasn't a deal breaker for me...

Sounds like your Pro is coming equipped with all the same options mine has. However; your dealership was much nicer than mine. I tried negotiating with them to take the steps and cross bars off, but they didn't budge. At the end of the day I guess I really didn't mind. I wasn't even planning on...

Hahaha... yea. I got a TRDP about 2 weeks ago (I'm in the gulf sates region) came with the cargo tray, which I was ok with. But had other useless and expensive options that I didn't want, but had no say in the matter. The LED illumination and Fogs packages are nice! Wish we had that option as well.

Toyota has a $299 "caliper covers" option. Maybe that TRDP has said option. You got my attention and I went to Southeast Toyota and started building a TRDP. That's how I found out about the option.

First time with softex. I'm inclined to say they feel warmer than leather. My previous truck had leather seats and I don't recall them being as warm as these. I read up on softex; some of the claims are they're cooler and breath better than leather, but I'm not convinced with this material. I...
