4runner TRD Pro

TRD Pro Wheel Part Number???

Looks like the TRD website got updated to a new look in the past few days... Found the following item listed under the accessories for a 2013 4Runner. Picture shows the 16" Silver 6-spoke TRD wheel that's been available for the FJs for a while but the "Product Attributes" description lists Diameter = 17", Special Edition = "TRD Pro", Finish = "Matte Black". There are some other details in the description that would be wrong if this is in fact the TRD Pro wheel part number (says "Features matte black finish and machined outer lip with beadlock ring styling..." for instance) but given Toyota's history of copying/pasting info from other parts to the info for pre-release/new items I'm guessing they just used the Tacoma TRD Pro wheel's desctiption and missed the edit since the Taco wheel is in fact black with the beadlock... (remember when they first posted the info on the 17" TRD Forged beadlock wheels with a pic of the 5-bolt version for the Tundra eventhough the P/N was in fact for the 6-bolt version for the 4Runner...). Price isn't listed either.

Anyway, the P/N doesn't seem to be orderable yet (just spoke with Zach [MENTION=47655]toyota[/MENTION]TRDParts) but thinking this may be the P/N to keep an eye out for.

Cool video! but so much misinformation on the suspension description, lol. I understand they're just journalists, but couldn't they at least double check with the Toyota reps onsite for accuracy :violin:

He called it a 6th gen in his last video. He is the poster child for not doing his homework.
 
I think it's about time someone turn the grille of their 2014 into a Satoshi look-a-like of this thing :nod: Lord knows I'm not yet capable...
 
At first glance, I think the TRD Pro is a gamble for Toyota. Why? Because as a loyal Jeep owner also, the Rubicon, their most expensive and capable Wrangler, was topped this year by the introduction of their Rubicon X. Pretty much a pimped out Rubicon.., new bumpers, badging, colors, but no Hemi. (sound familiar) As a result, I see them sitting on the lots, as people just can't justify the extra three grand over the Rubicon. Apples and oranges..., maybe, but if Toyoto keeps the TE within the line up, they may see the same situation as Jeep. Nevertheless I'm screwed, I don't see anyone trading their TE's in for the TRD around here. :sobbing:
 
Toyota Canada says TRD Pro not coming to Canada. I double checked with the Toyota reps for accuracy.
Guess that makes us even since we have (had) better looking SR5s.
 
TRD pro... Nose dive fixed

You guys think that the TRD pro.. Will have the nose dive issue fixed.. For the most part?
 
With the TRD Pro Tundra and Tacoma they claim to be using "decreased spring rate for improved ride quality over harsh terrain" Not sure about the T4R - if anything the 4Runner needs about a 10-20% increase in spring rate or more aggressive compression dampening...
 
So you think the nose dive will be worse?

This is all speculation, but on the chart it did not mention reducing the spring rate on the 4runner pro model, so theoretically it will not be any worse than a base model (if the spring rates are at least as stiff as OEM). Also, since the front end is lifted up 1.5", you've at the very least shifting some weight bias towards the rear, so the nose dive could possibly even reduced a bit :)

My guess is, the nose dive reduction would be similar to having installed a set of 5100s up front with the spring perches up a notch or two.
 
Idk if this guy knows what he's talking about. At 1:14 he talks about the xreas system offered for more articulation. I don't think bilstein remote resi. Will be able to run with the xreas system. He maybe thinking KDSS. This guy looks like he drives a Chevy volt for all I know.
 
Relating to the shocks, springs, tires and rims - are modifications needed before they could be installed on a standard 2012 trail? I for one like the new Pro 4Runner and would consider buying one. However, I can't see doing that while I have a great 2012 trail..

My other thought is when I do build up my trail, are these "TRD Pro" components worth it, or am I better off buying from another manufacture...?

Your thoughts?

TRD never does anything but bolt-ons, really, most of their market is probably in sales to existing owners. You'll have no issue putting any of these things on any 2010+ 4runner.

Worth it, for what? You will be able to get better components, cheaper, in the aftermarket, no doubt. On the other hand, these modifications will lower the market value of your vehicle (if you plan to sell), and you have to do research, and likely some trial and error, to find components that work together to your liking. I would say that if your vehicle is one of your biggest hobbies, you're probably better off with aftermarket, otherwise, probably better with factory blessed mods.

It was more of a pun intended joke as the shift knob was the most interesting thing on the TRD pro. Don't get me wrong I really like it as it really makes the front end more palatable to me but I would have hoped for more and I'm sure you'll pay a pretty penny for the additions.

That being said, it is a sharp looking shift knob, but tough to justify for $85 assuming that one fits the 4runner, I know it's listed for a Tundra/Seq.

Doh! Didn't notice the :D at the end.

so how is the price different than if you bought a momo shift knob or another high quality shift knob :)
