TRD Off Road Premium vs TRD Pro

[bird]

If you need to ask if the Pro is worth it, you probably aren't driving difficult enough trails to justify it. Save the 10-15k and get the ORP. If you need to ever upgrade it, you'll have a pile of cash to throw around, but most people will never push the limits of a stock 4Runner, let alone an ORP.

You get that speaker with a TRD ORP as well.

Correct, I have a TRD Off-Road Premium and it has the 12-speaker + removable JBL speaker + subwoofer (that nobody can actually hear or feel).

As far as who actually removes it? Great question, the only time I removed it was visiting my parents over the holidays so my kiddo could listen to holiday music he was requesting. My parents don't have any bluetooth speakers, and then I remembered I have one I can pull out of the 4Runner! LOL

I will probably never remove the JBL Bluetooth speaker.

I just picked her up today! I'm very happy with my purchase and excited for the adventures to come. Thanks for everyone replying to this post

This will be the last time post on this thread! Today I went on a 2/10 onX trail that really surprised me. The weather at my normal elevation was really cloudy with low hanging clouds. I climbed just enough elevation that at the top I was just above the cloud coverage and got some amazing views and pictures. I love this 4Runner so much.

Not really, we can work through the list of notable differences:

• Differing Wider wheels (standard ORP wheels are Fugly) - OEM dealer option on ORP's, nearly infinite aftermarket options
• Wider AT Tires - Most people will change these regardless, even on pro's eventually, but also a dealer option
• Fox QS3 Adjustable Shocks F&R, Taller Springs and Billet UCAs - Aftermarket, though very likely functionally the same components will become available from the original OEM's (the OME suspension from the trailhunter effectively already is)
• Heritage Front Grille - OEM bolt-on or aftermarket if you don't want to move the camera
• Different Front Facia - OEM bolt-on
• Rigid Fog Lights - "Factory aftermarket", rigid sells the bolt-on parts directly
• Rigid Front Light Bar - If you're already swapping the front end this becomes bolt-on and through factory aux or aftermarket controllers unlinks it from high-beams
• Differing Headlights - OEM bolt on
• Differing Tail Lights - OEM bolt on
• Wider Gloss Black Fender Flares - OEM bolt on or aftermarket for different materials/designs
• Different Hood - OEM bolt on (though given it's a fake scoop this is largely aesthetic)
• Rear Hatch w/TRD PRO Inlay - Aesthetic
• I-Max Driveline - Option on the ORP's, the pro allegedly has a more aggressive tune, but that's a plug-in aftermarket upgrade
• Different Seating F & R (looks better) - Mostly aesthetic, the pro has slightly more lumbar support adjustment in the front seats but the aftermarket could cover that
• Nicer Interior Door Panels - Aesthetic, OEM bolt-on
• Different Glove Box Door - Aesthetic, OEM bolt-on
• Different Center Console Lid - Aesthetic, OEM bolt-on
• Front Sway Bar Disconnect - Optional on 26's
• Dual Zone Climate - This is the really big, hard to change difference
• Different Steering Wheel - OEM bolt-on
• Different shift knob - OEM clip on (literally 2 minutes to swap)
• Upgraded JBL Sound System - This is in both
• TRD Performance Exhaust System - Aftermarket from a few different places
• TRD CAI - Aftermarket
• Power Fold Away Side Mirrors w/Memory - Currently a difference, but the wiring harness appears to be in place, and aftermarket will certainly become available
• Tilt Reversing Side Mirrors w/Memory - same as above
• Digital Rear View Mirror - factory option on ORP's
• Aluminum TRD Skid Plate - Dealer option, OEM bolt-on or aftermarket for better features.
• different floor-mats - Dealer option or aftermarket

It's absolutely valid to say that doing all those upgrades will end up more expensive than just buying a pro up front, but for a chunk of the real functional differences (wheels, tires, suspension, secondary lights (fogs and light-bar), under-body plates) a significant portion of the market would choose different parts to what toyota chose, so would do a number of those upgrades on pro's too.

I agree with you. I also see it that way. I’d go for the Pro over and over again.
