or any "deal" whatsoever, i'd guess. :frisky:
if you're buying a new model year special order vehicle in september of the previous year, and you're expecting to wheel and deal, you might want to reevaluate your expectations.

IIRC level and tuned suspension, not lifted.
1.5 " lift in the front, 1" in the rear.
It looks like 1.5" lift to the front of the vehicle which provides an additional 1" of wheel travel. No lift on the back.
First TRD Pro Runner received. No KDSS and as for now it appears no sunroof either. Though most online pictures of the Inferno Red show a sunroof. Have only received Black. From the factory, the only things include the Sliding Rear Deck, and the factory NAV same as the TE's. Port installed will be the F/R Bilstein shocks w/ remote resevoir; TRD Spings, which I believe are Eibach; TRD Skid Plate(same as Trail Team FJ); 265/70/17 Nitto Grapplers on 17' TRD Black wheel; TRD Pro side badge and shift knob. TRD Pro floor mats will go with the vehicle to the dealer. Dealer's should have already requested their first round for delivery at end of the month/ beginning of next month. Not sure on color options and their delivery though. Any picture interest for it not fully assembled? Only the suspension has been put on. Probably will not be assembled until next week.

So is it basically a TE with some aftermarket shocks / springs and PRO "Bling"?
yep, and wheels/tires.
don't forget the floor mats.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like it's the same or cheaper to build the same vehicle with a trail prem w/o kdss (Assuming a discount from msrp)
TRD Pro suspension parts $1k
TRD Pro wheels $800
TRD Pro skid plate $300
Install $1k
And you get a sunroof in the end

Didn't know that the seats aren't softex - I think that just about does it for me.

Where did you get NO softex on TRD? It clearly lists it in the 4runner Press release from Monday.

As far as the suspension goes, it appears I'm mistaken - I thought it was on the TRD Pro parts thread but upon taking a 2nd look somebody posted about a Tacoma shock. Guess we'll wait and see..
Meaning good or bad?

headlights and taillights are different too
vehicle has arrived at long beach port. from the picture of the black one provided in this thread, it looks like lots of port installed equipment. wonder how long this is gonna be before it's delivered (i'm in denver)? 2 weeks? 4 weeks?
also, the dealer has confirmed MSRP pricing. total price before tax is $41,460.
waiting is the hardest part.....
Meaning bad - I was hoping to at least have some type of resemblance of a 'leather' interior.
My understanding of the 2015 Product Literature released on monday is that the exterior of the Pro is based of the TEP & the "interior" is based off of the TE. (Hence no sunroof)
I think it was also mentioned on Page 73 of this thread that its essentially a TE with springs & shocks.
Not trying to be a PITA here - just trying to figure out what I'm about to order!
I'm also pretty much set on White but can't get Inferno out of the back of my mind.
It's definitely Softex. The truck is essentially a TEP w/ no sunroof, and the bilstein suspension but no KDSS. It also has the different Grille, which might be hard to get one as Toyota is fairly tight with their replacements and requires a valid VIN. The MSRP on my TEP w/ KDSS was $41,900, and the TRD Pro without any extra "add-ons" is $41,110. That's a factory options only comparison of the two if you figure that the KDSS is a factory direct option, and the TRD Pro package automatically comes with the order. Price will only go up from there if you add things like All Weather Mats, Crossbars, Etc. It is absolutely going to be a preference thing when deciding on these. Super White and Inferno Red will stand out the most with the exterior, because the Attitude Black as I posted is really just all black and one who didn't know couldn't tell the difference. As I stated before, I'm pretty set on White, but the more and more I see the black one here waiting for parts, the more I like it. Though, just for color comparison, we had a couple Taco's go through with the Inferno Red, and it makes you second guess once more what color to go with.
