Decided to buy a pro

Nothing is wrong with people. I just think that the majority finds it very perplexing that someone would spend an extra $10k over an ORP to get the PRO and then remove every upgrade that transforms the vehicle from an ORP to a PRO. If he removed the roof rack, suspension, wheels and tires, skid plate and badges, he’s at the same starting point as if he had just bought a white ORP. I suppose he is left with a few upgrades like the front grill, LED fogs, JBL and auto climate. But, that’s hardly worth the $10K difference. With the bargaining that can be done on an ORP, it might even be more than $10K. Maybe, if he had gotten the army green, you could justify it for the specialty color. I call fake post.

OP, can you give us more insight? Did your 2018 TORP have a ton of mileage? Any mechanical or electrical issues? Any reason that made you go with the 2020 TRDP trade in?

I find it perplexing that people spend good money for that hedious voodoo blue color....its the reason you were able to purchase under msrp. The OP is modding his vehicle to suit his taste...just like many here. How bout offering a little encouragement? OP hang onto the PRO parts, if you decide to trade or sell, it would take no time at all to re-install and get top buck for your vehicle.

I see nothing wrong with your trade in. You get CarPlay and TSS. For many, it’s a good reason to trade in.

It’s just the TRD Pro purist who don’t care for the 2020 upgrades and are puzzled by the change [emoji2957] unless you get a specialized pro color.
 
I see no issues with OP’s decision to buy a 2020 Pro. His ORP cost him $2,500 to drive 2 years and 30k miles.

As for modifications to his Pro. It is his vehicle. Let him do what he likes.

Congrats!

Sweet rig. Love my 2020 Pro. Reason I sold my 2016 was because it was in an accident. The 2020 Pro's with Carplay / TSS and the eventual resale value is worth it 100% IMO. The ORP will depreciate quicker than the Pro. Paying $2500 for 30k miles is amazing.

BTW -- the toxic responses that this thread is getting is exactly why many choose not to start threads on this forum, including myself.

That black skid looks bada$$ as well!

It sure seems like a lot of people are knocking him down for his purchase and what he chose to do. Who cares what he did with it, he bought another 4Runner and is having fun with it. More and more now when you post something you bought or moded on your 4Runner you have to justify it instead of just being able to show it off.

The responses aren’t “toxic” at all. You need to be less sensitive. Go to your “safe space.” People are merely asking questions. Not sure why everyone is so “offended” these days when someone questions something they do.

Sure.....TSS, Apple CarPlay, bigger 8” display, new instrument cluster, push button start.....all good reasons to upgrade to a 2020 and when you can basically get almost all of your money back on your trade vehicle, why not? I think you’re missing the point, however. Myself, and other members, were wondering why the OP would purchase a 2020 PRO and then remove all of the parts that actually make it a PRO over an ORP. Once he removed all the port installed parts like the roof rack, wheels, tires, skid plate, suspension and badges, it was no longer a TRD PRO. He could have purchased a 2020 white ORP, gotten the same electronic upgrades and then removed the roof rack, tires, wheels, skid plate and suspension. He would have then been at the EXACT SAME starting point for his build, minus the TRD grill and some LED fogs which could be added for short money. And he probably would have been around $10,000 ahead of the game, assuming most are paying MSRP for a 2020 PRO and getting significant discounts on the other trims.

It’s a legitimate question and a fair question to ask.
