Keep or sell a 2015 4R TRD PRO?

Oh OK now I'm berghdal. Believe me I don't have to prove anything to you, I did my time. You're the main one talking shyt on people that have a TRDP. You just have a sad life huh?

I don't talk shit to people because they have a Pro, I talk shit to people that I feel need it..... just so happens most of them own Pros
 
I bought a PRO about six months ago. I went to the dealership to buy a Tundra and was blown away by the 4R. I've enjoyed the vehicle but after driving a trucks for over twenty years, the 4R just doesn't feel right. I will admit that it is the nicest and most badass vehicle I've every owned. Have any of you experienced this or know someone who has? I'm not looking for someone to make the decision for me but maybe some words of advice would be appreciated.

Have you been back to the dealer yet? Never know what you're up against price-wise 'til you do. He may want your trade badly enough to tempt you.

Hell, I get a postcard every couple of months telling me how desperate my dealer is for 2010 4Runners.

:loco:
 
Do you like wearing Oakley's? Drink a lot of monster energy drinks? Love MMA sports? If so you need the Pro. If not go for it!
All joking aside it just depends on what you really want. If it is a Tundra then do it. Like others have said you will probably get a good trade in or even better private party value out of the pro.
I personally love my trail 4runner, but I am not a truck guy. I don't need the back cab. Whatever suits your needs best. Good luck!
 
Trying to get back on topic...

You've had it for 6 months and it still "doesn't feel right"... what do you mean by "doesn't feel right"?

The ultimate question before getting rid of a vehicle is, "Does it meet your needs?"

"Needs" vary immensely from person person and can include practical things like interior cargo room, passenger room, towing power, offroading ability, gas mileage, reliability, and comfort. "Needs" can also include non-practical things like image. And yes, whether practical or not, some people just aren't happy unless they project the correct "image", so it becomes a "need" for them.

Personally, I went from a T-Top Camaro to a Chevy S-10 back in the 90's. My "image" took a massive hit and it took me a long time to get over it... but being practical won out and I got used to pickups. But with a divorce my "needs" changed drastically and the Silverado just wasn't cutting it. That's why I have a 4Runner. When I decide it's mid-life-crisis time I'll keep the 4Runner and get a little sports car to start reliving my youth, but that's still in the future.

If the 4Runner meets your needs, and you enjoy driving it, then eventually it will start feeling right. If it doesn't meet your needs (even if that "need" is the fact that you won't be happy unless you own a pickup), then sell it.


Option 2: Go for the best of both worlds. Keep the 4Runner and buy an old beater pickup for a few thousand.

I sold my TRD Pro 4Runner and just bought a TRD Pro Tundra.

I bought the Tundra due to a lot of relatives from out of state who come out to visit and we take them out on road trips and other adventures. The 4Runner had a lack of power too, which frustrated me.

It just depends on what you want to do.

If I strictly wanted an off road machine, it would be the 4Runner all day long.

I have long list of complaints about the Tundra (mainly interior), but the positive outweighs the negative.


Thanks, I would love the Tundra TRD Pro. Good looking truck
 
Be mindful of the cheapness of the interior on the Pro Tundra: No heated seats, only the driver side window is auto down only, no power passenger side seat, no driver side grab handle on the A-pillar (easy fix though) and the most cheapest thing is a lack of a light around the ignition.

Oh yeah, and a separate AM/FM antenna from the XM Radio?
 
I find it interesting how Non-TRD Pro owners rip owners to shreds, but never vice versa. On the Raptor forums is even crazier with Gen I owners waging an all out war against the upcoming Gen II release, to the point its hilarious and I have started to embrace the insanity. Love what you have, but dont criticize others for buying an upgraded model for there needs. They all have advantages.

But seriously, you have to figure out what you dont love about the 4 Runner and if its worth the cost of trading. It may be something obvious such as the sluggish engine performance. Or it could be having that pick up bed utility....
 
This all depends on who YOU are, and what's important to you... If all that matters is that the car/truck moves your "soul", then keep/get the one that does that. If practicality matters most, then deem what's most important and choose the one that checks off the most boxes. On here, we're all going to give you conflicting opinions until the thread is old and gray...

For me, I personally love my 4Runner. I like the way it looks, the size, and the overall style of my year and model. But, practicality means almost as much to me these days. I sacrifice a little of both with my 14 TEP. But it still gives me a shiot-eating grin when I walk up on her or glance at her in the garage (the 'soul' stirring part).

[MENTION=131488]ST1FLER[/MENTION] talks sh1t on everyone. It's a right of passage.

Get what feels good! Drive them back to back, press all of the buttons, open everything, turn on every light, adjust anything adjustable, and drive them in an identical loop. Do this at night and during the day. The answers you seek will be laid out in front of you. Thorough with your testing you must me.
