I'm using truck it transport to go from NC to CA. I went through uship.com but I would suggest going to them directly since uship adds another $100+ or so in fees. My total is $1280 and I think truck it is only getting about $950. Try uship.com just to get the names of the different carriers and then contact them yourself for better rates.

Can you add the sliding cargo tray at the dealer? Or does that option have to be selected during the build?

Anyone have experience on if this is worth the $350?

I just shipped 2 vehicles with United Van Lines. Tundra went on an open carrier for $700 from vegas to Minneapolis. My BMW M2 went on a closed carrier for $1300.

I didn't shop around because my company paid for it, so not sure if the price was competitive. 5 years ago, I shipped my tundra from Illinois to Vegas for about $1,000 on an open carrier.

I think its a factory installed option only. From what I've seen no one wants it lol.

Question: What is the deal with all of the back Windows? Are they tinted with film or is it built into the glass. It appears only the front two windows would need to be tinted upon arrival? Or am I wrong?

So I wonder how many 2017 TR D pro owners are experiencing this issue?



It definitely sucks.

I had this issue as well. I took it back to the dealership and they cut back the metal that was touching the reservoir. Noise is now completely gone.

I like it. I pull it out a little then my dogs jump off. Keeps them from scratching the rear. I tailgate alot so it comes in handy.

Why didn't they just loosen the clamp and slide the res down a bit? I would have preferred that over cutting a seam..

Seems kind of weird that dealers are cutting metal on brand new 4runners to make the shocks fit.

The 2017 TRD Pro is the exact same vehicle as the 2016 TRD Pro ? So are the shocks different or is the TRD Pro conversion crew screwing something up at Port?

If more than 1 2017 TRD Pro 4runner has this shock rub issue wouldn't Toyota(mothership) be informed and contact the dealers and the TRD Port install team?

After hearing about the TRD Pro clunk issue and now this "my shocks are rubbing issue" it would appear to me that the legendary Toyota quality control is a myth.

Yes new vehicles can have issues but this sounds pretty lame. Yes sure Toyota. A Factory tuned suspension that rubs the frame and your dealers are cutting metal to fix it.

I completely agree. I would be livid if they did this to my 4Runner.

I don't think some of you realize that TOYOTA is not the one installing the TRD suspension. Also Toyota did not design the suspension. TRD did. There is a difference between them and Toyota proper. The people doing the port conversions are not Toyota or TRD any more than your local dealer is. They are a distributor of Toyota. Your dealer is a private company too. Not Toyota.

Now, all of them, Toyota, TRD, Distributors, Dealers, all work together but are different entities and have different rules. Is Toyota ultimately responsible? Yep. But if you make a complaint to Toyota about this shock issue for example, they will just pass the buck to TRD, who in turn passes the buck to the distributor.
