Dealer Refusing to Order TRD Pro parts without TRD Pro VIN

[Cranberry]

Bit of an update here.

So i found a dealer that was willing to give me a quote at least. I screenshotted the quote but cut out the personal info out of respect to my contact who helped track down a dealer. There was an interesting thing that happened though. Apparently within 24 hours of this dealership providing the quotation, Toyota Canada contacted this dealership and ordered the dealership to stop any further communication with my contact unless my contact provided a VIN of their TRD Pro vehicle.

They seem pretty aggressive on this and serious. The dealer reached out in a email specifically as well. Again, i attached the email but blocked out the dealership and names to not get anyone in trouble.

The quote i received was extremely inflated as well, over $10,000, for a kit that can be purchased from FOX direct for about $3000

Toyota seems to be taking this serious, They clearly want to keep Pro parts on Pro models only.

I mean it makes sense on some level. But plenty of people have been successful with getting such things without a VIN. Especially if you order online.

I agree with this question. If you are going to be adding armor and gear, you'll want to upgrade the coils anyway, so why not just go with weight/use specific aftermarket suspension anyway?

From the little bit of research I have done, I would look at Dobinson. I just ordered new coils, rear spacer, billet UCAs, and bump stops from them in addition to front spacers from Westcott.

Yep. I’m not one to get people’s logic on putting the TRD Pro stock suspension on where they’re are so many better options in the aftermarket scene. But people are putting on the stock OEM stuff.
