It's been a while since I've seen any pics of people picking up their new Pro at the dealership so I'll share mine..the total time from placing my build order to delivery to the dealer was 2 1/2 months ...I've had it 2 weeks now and can honestly say that it's exceeded every expectation that I had for buying this rig sight unseen and having never driven a 5th gen. Btw mine has NO sliding cargo tray, yep the rarest of the rare ! :) Good luck to all of you waiting and/or searching for your new Pro !!

Very nice, future mods?
 
Cement at msrp just hit the port in Washington headed for a dealership in Seattle shortly. I just bought mine at Toyota of Tri cities so I'm backing out of this deposit and told my salesmen I would help him out. Anyone interested? PM me.

What's up twin!!

Awesome! I just got the call today that mine arrived at the dealership a couple hours ago. It is the same exact build as yours. Flying from SF to PHX on Monday.

I'm at 1500, this is the best I've got. It's a combination of hwy using cruise control, 4wd up in snow and hilly roads in the mountains on that tank. I reset everything when I filled up prior to leaving.

We must have similar terrain and elevation gains..here is my mileage from today's run..160mi of driving thru several towns, rural highway, hilly roads, forest roads plus several sessions of spinning tires and getting dirty in the mud and snow...total elevation gain was 3000 ft or so (watch the 'what did you do in your 5th gen today' thread later tonite if any of you would like to see a Pro being used for what it was intended : )

That's pretty similar to what I was driving in. I went up to Mt. Hood and was at about the same elevation. I was hoping to hit some logging roads but still to much snow up there. 556" this winter, 11" in the last 3 days. The only ski spot in the US open year round. It's awesome for getting out and hitting just about every driving condition you can think of within an hour of home.

I'm definitely getting rid of the nittos after the summer. They flat out suck in deeper snow. They lose traction much easier than KO2's. They are alright on snowy roads but anything over about 6" and their grip is terrible. They tend to push the snow in front of the tire and create a little hill in front of them instead of letting the snow into the tread and compacting it. Lots of backing up and creating a packed track to get in on.

And for the fair weather guys, just an FYI, if outside temp drops to 37 a little snowflake comes on by the temp display. I guess Toyota wanted to make it clear that it's friggin freezing out!

I had the same first impression with the Nittos, it was dicey at best in 4-6" of packed snow.I can see how you could easily get in a bad situation, especially in the terrain i was in today (8000-9000 ft elevation w/mud and deep pack in areas)...they will DEF be replaced before winter.

Yep. Look at your right front. Tire is holding all of the snow in the tread taking away all traction. A good snow tire lets it in to push it to the side but it drops right back out. About as much use as a slick. It's a shame because my far less capable 94 can tear up the trdp in snow right now. Soon to change. It has nothing to do with the truck, all tire. Gotta get that corrected before the jeep guys see me struggling. No free ammo for jeep guys!

I'm in Lansdowne, just got my 17 Cement.

Congrats and welcome! There are a few of us running around in this area, but I haven't seen the cement color yet. I drive through Landsdowne several times a week to get to work. I'm pretty easy to spot in the inferno with the Gobi rack/ladder.....if you see me, feel free to say hello! :guitar3:

I canceled my PRO in cement. If anyone is interested. You can contact Olathe Toyota in KS. I am not sure if they have a wait list or not.

For the ones averaging high teens/low 20s in MPG, are you guys driving under 65mph?
Click to expand...

I avg'd 20.0 4R screen (19.7 hand calc) on my 3hr drive home @70mph. Generally for short drives on the hwy I stay at 65mph because I'm in no hurry to get anywhere and I'll take the extra .x mpg.
