2017 or 2019 TRD Pro

Hey y'all. The wife recently put in an order for a 4Runner TRD Pro and I have caught Pro fever. I have decided to get a TRD Pro Tundra but am unsure which to get a lightly used 2017 or 2019? Can anyone tell me the differences between the two? All I know is the older ones have Bilsteins and the newer ones sport Fox shocks. The only thing bugging me on the 2019 is the double hood scoop and the TSS square in the grill haha. Otherwise it looks clean! I've heard some scattered things about the TSS but not sure how valid they are...I am going to install a grill guard bumper on it if that makes a difference...

I've only had my SR5 for a few weeks but the thought of a TRD Pro Tundra and 4Runner in the garage is too good.

 

Sunroof, LED fogs, HID headlights, Fox shocks as you mentioned.

Not much from what I can remember Off the top of my head.

 

2019
Honey comb grill
Forged wheels
Hood scoop
Fox shocks

Other than the fox shocks, I love my 2016 PRO

Edit: I wish I had a sunroof

 

Do the new wheels look the same? From pictures I've seen they look identical...just manufactuing process?

 

Nope.... 2019 Pro Wheels are made by BBS.

 

No pretty different


2019

 

@VictorLin0725 If I were you, I'll wait few more months for the 2020 Pro. It will have more features (Push Start Button, Apple Carplay/Android Auto, 8 inch Head Unit and a new color - Army Green.

 

Ha what's wrong with a sunroof?

 

Not a big fan of push button to be honest. Rather have the good ol key

 

Even Toyota has issues with leaks? I thought it was just Ford. Thanks, might be something to consider

 

This exactly. Biggest POS made...

 

To be fair that's quite an old vehicle haha. That being said I've heard of people clear wrapping the roof to resolve the leaks

 

Yaaaaaaassssssss

 

If it were me......keep your SR5 and spend less $ to make it better than a stock Pro....

 

Was thinking about doing that but spending the money to make a Pro doesn't really appeal to me due to the resale value of an actual Pro. Guess that stamped TRD PRO on the bed really means something in the Tundra world. Also being the unmechanically inclined person I am I'll most likely take the truck to the shop for all upgrades/installations therefore increasing the overall cost.

 

All Tundra versions have top resale value.

 

The resale value of a pro is higher relative to original msrp but not any better relative to typical actual purchase price. That may change in a few years or more if it becomes a particularly desirable used truck.

 

Might be something to think about then. Its just the headache of upgrading stuff that scares me. We'll see how it goes.

 

Get the 2017 so you don’t have to deal with the safety sense tech....

 

Is it as bad as people say? I wouldn't mind it not working...just don't brake on me on the freeway lol

 

Or get a 2016-2017 platinum...and turn it into a pro.

 

And most importantly....

You can supercharge the 2017 very easily with a Magnuson.
You cannot yet do this for the 19'
As far as I know that's the last year that there is a "Magnuson" tune from BD, nothing for the 18-19's yet... Every PRO should be Supercharged!

So go for the 17...

 

Isn't the engine the same throughout the model years? Supercharger does sound pretty nice but it also sounds like my bank will be draining fairly quickly. I can't imagine how much better it'll be with that SC

 

No tune available for 18 and up yet.

Don't let the TSS be the only thing that scares you. There are quite a few horror stories, but tens of thousands of untold stories with no problems. But....it would definitely suck to have an unresolved TSS problem. Alot do get resolved though.

 

Same engine different electronics for 18+. I don't doubt they will have something eventually, but who knows when it will be available.

Most of us with 18+ don't have any issues with TSS even modified, but people have definitely experienced issues.

 

if you are planning on replacing wheels and suspension then keep your SR5 and save 10G min

 

Like others have said, keep your truck and make it better than a pro. Between the cash you will loose parting with your truck now and then buying the more expensive pro you can get waaayyyy better suspension, better wheels, better tires, better exaust, make any mod you want less a supercharger and have some cash left over. Now will you get all that invested $$ back out when you go to sell it...most likely not. Pros are sweet but if you already have a new truck keep it and mod it.

 

Come take a ride in mine and you will not have to imagine what it's like.

The SC will change your entire perspective of what your truck is not only capable of, but how much better it is when the proper power to weight ratios are applied. It drives F@CKING AWESOME. Best $ I've spent without question.

 

19...
