Is the TRD Pro only .5" taller than an SR5 even with the entirely different suspension?
the Pro will be shorter than your 2013 Trail. the 10-13 Trail roof rails were a couple inches taller than the standard rack that is now featured on all 4Runner trim levels.Gents - there's an inferno TRD Pro on cars.com that is giving me a woody.
My 2013 TE has some small clearance between the roof rack and the the garage door.
Would you mind me asking where are you measuring these heights?
(I suppose I could take off the rack - On the Xterra, I read somewhere that when you take off the rack, you open a hole for water to get into the cabin.)
people have done the measurements (they are posted in the TRD pro thread somewhere) -
the front end of the TRD pro is approximately one inch higher than the trail (not sure how the trail and SR5 compare).
no difference in the rear.
did the measurements myself and ya jus about .5 and below 1" in the front
It's a shock/skid/grill/paint package. Nothing else. An "entirely different suspension" would be something like the Icon Stage 6 or 7 (Complete Suspension Systems - ICON Vehicle Dynamics). The PRO Bilsteins are larger diameter to allow for faster running off road without shock fade. Other than that if you're not into going faster off road you can get more out of the already readily available several other options that are out there. The TRD Pro is a "Package". While a very nice off the floor package it is not Toyota nirvana. Those generally need to be built up to.
4 year old thread man! That being said, are you measuring from Hub to fender?
4 year old thread means people who got it wrong 4 years ago should figured out by now that they had it wrong. People back in the days thought Earth was flat and we figured out by now that we were wrong back then.
Yes center hub cap to the fender flare. Who the F doesn't know measuring more the ground to fender flare is inaccurate? Different tire size or even low air pressure will makes the measurement inaccurate.
yes I am aware. The older TRD PRO uses Bilstein shocks. The newer uses FOX suspension I've heard. Are you suggesting for me to measure a older TRD PRO and an older SR5 rear lift height? I can bet you money that it'll probably still be a difference. The parts (rear springs) are not 100% the same. That's what Toyota dealership parts/accessory department people told me.
