I got my 2019 Trd Pro Monday. I second that the stereo sounds / works great (wish it had CarPlay/Android play). Roof rack is stupid, considering a BajaRack because I want more clearance.
Suspension is good. I likely will just do light trail and mountain+snow driving so I probably could have gotten away with a OR-Premium+KDSS+Trd rims.

Got confirmation my build week is the second week of October. Upsides and downsides to employee perks. I get a great deal, but I have to wait!
Have you confirmed that the Gobi rack will fit the 2019? The Toyota dealer told me the mount points are the same but Gobi said they have not yet confirmed when I called. They also said it would take them 3-4 months to do so.
Calling the 8 dealers in my area I gathered a far bit of information. Each dealer is given around 5 Pros per year (allotments based on volume). Some of them had 6 back orders meaning that some customers wouldn’t get their Pros till 2020 (spoiler, likely to be a unibody).
Some dealers mentioned they stop taking pre-orders altogether due to the aforementioned problems. Others solved the problem by charging $4-10k over MSRP. Btw, Toyota doesn’t actually allow charging more than MSRP so they exploit an “accessories” loophole.

Personal opinion here, but you're a fool if you pay over sticker lol.
The FJC rack is an eye sore and I wouldn't be surprised if those who buy a 2019 don't end up buying 2014-2018 oem take off racks just to temporarily alleviate that horrendous monstrosity.
A slightly better sound system can easily be bested by any half-way competent audio shop for far less money. Other than the slightly better Fox suspension I see no improvement worth the $3300+ markup on these.

Did you end up getting it? I’m about to list my quicksand, in case that’s the color you are chasing. And it’s a damn fine color!
Xmas came early...arrived at the dealership early. It was at the port already when I last posted.
Rack came standard so it will be fs soon

Manufacturers don't change things like that.

Journey of 1000 miles... exactly
Thanks for giving me a kick out the door. Your suggestion, and that of others worked out surprisingly well. Had a great experience with a dealer up in North Carolina. If you live near those parts please go see Jerry Bass at Massey. Guy was super friendly and it was an immeasurably better experience than buying a car in Florida. Got the Cavalry Blue with a few options, (Predator Bars, clear paint protection and the phone cable package) for just under MSRP $45,347 at $44,998. All 4 black and white TRD Pro's within 500 miles of me were selling for $4-5k over MSRP. Took possession with 171 miles on the car and arrived 2 days later in my garage with 1171 miles. pretty funny. Had to drive around Hurricane Florence flooding because I-95 was flooded. The dealer even provided me with a box of supplies in the event that I got stuck. Absolutely love the car, the color blew me away in person. Never saw the blue except on the internet. The upgraded suspension is great on the road as the car has less body roll than my 2014 trail without KDSS. I dig the Nitto Tires. Got between 19.9-20.2 MPG for the whole trip, my KO2s usually got around 17 so thats good news as well. Im stoked with the Soft tex seats and automatic head lights. interesting point was my old usb port charged my phone, couldn't get the phone charged and had to use the cigarette lighter option. It did power a hard drive I had with me. Strange. Dont expect to get rid of this one anytime soon. Really happy with this decision. Thanks for your help guys. This forum rocks!

My iPod stays plugged into the USB port, it keeps it charged.
I have an Anker charger plugged into the console 12V outlet, it has 2 USB ports it in and works great.
It's a high amp charger and charges a phone pretty quick.

Looks like I made the right choice with Super White. Hype!

I did and they called/replied to my email but didn’t answer my question on the first email so I didn’t want to deal with them. They kept wanting me to come in and never gave me an online price to go off of besides the $39,000. It’s probably still sitting on the lot.

What are everyone's favorite colors on trd pro? I know Toyota has the "special" color for each year. Found a 2017 classic silver metallic and looks nice but also like cement and the Calvary blue
Just curious on what everyone thinks?
