My Underground TRD Pro is finally here!

[Positronic]

After a very long wait (deposit placed May '24) i finally came up on my Underground TRD Pro. Blind luck really as i was #7 on the list at my waitlisted dealer for an Underground or Black TRD Pro. Got a call from my dealer saying the #4 cat backed out at the last minute on the only Underground Pro allocation the dealer has seen and asked if I wanted to move up! Big thanks to @Mudbath for giving me heads up on a ton of local and non-local Pro allocations over the last month or two i was probably on at least half a dozen lists at other dealers in the hunt. Turns out in the end my original dealer came through!

Been raining here in Colorado the last 3+ days so its a little dirty and when I picked it up yesterday it was pouring but today the sun is out and I managed to snap a couple pics this afternoon. After almost 14 years in a Subaru STi i'm likely wearing new vehicle goggles here but absolutely loving it so far! All the tech features that aren't over a decade old are great and even though i'm going easy on it for the first 1-2K miles it feels like its got a ton of low end power so far. First couple mods are going to be the screen protector from ScreenProTech (already on order) and probably some running boards so the wife and kiddo who are small people have an easier time getting in and out.

Yes, please!

Hell yeah dude!

Mudbath deserves an award, he helped me find one after searching most of the western United States. Just have to wait a bit.

Mine did not, the only PIO options it had were the crossbars and a set of floormats which lined up nicely with my ask for minimal additional options.

Thanks guys - happy to help anyone who needs it. If anyone needs help locating a truck, any trim, drop me an IM.

The only thing I ask - Please get a dash cam! When my Land Cruiser was written off in January the other driver blamed me, and the State Patrol said the "physical evidence supported their version of events."

If it wasn't for my dashcam footage, I could have been in a world of hurt. The dashcam I had was a cheap one that the dealer installed without me asking, and I couldn't get the footage to play on the side of the road.

It's cheap insurance. I bought the Toyota one and they installed it at the dealership for $15. It's ugly AF, but I had them install it on the passenger side of the rearview mirror and its perfect.

Congrats! She’s a beauty! If you’re looking for a bullet proof phone mount, check out the one Offroam makes. It’s really great! Enjoy breaking your Pro in. They are so much fun to drive!

Congrats Mr.!
I think once the "goggles" wear out, you still will not look back and enjoy the crap out of it for MANY year! This might sound a bit cliche: I actually had a dream the other of daily driving a Trailhunter, and my feeling was how good it was day in and day out. The quality of driving was so pleasant!
I daily drive a 3rd gen Manual and love the heck out of it, but one thing us for sure that the comfort level between the 2 is a Moon away! I test drove a non hybrid 4r and a Trailhunter Taco and in both instances the low end power and driving stability were impressive.
If all goes as planned, this Tomorowo is my lucky day were that dream will come true!

Sorry this happened to you...dishonesty is unfortunately running wild out there now a days. I will be shopping for one TODAY. I opted out on the Toyota PIO camera.

nice! also sending mine in next week for PPF and tint like i had on my STi. I haven't purchased a new ride in 14 years so been out of the protection game for awhile and i've seen mention of ceramic quite a bit. What are the benefits/drawbacks and overall use-case for ceramic? Assuming it is a coating of some sort?
