He obviously lives in a climate that requires a capable vehicle just to get around. It looks like there is already snow on the ground. Not everyone wants to beat there brand new truck up.
Maybe he’s a home owner and needs a truck and doesn’t like the other mid size options on the market. Maybe he can afford to have the best option and doesn’t want to hassle with modifications. He’s got good taste IMO.
I want to know why it matters to you?
You've summed up my situation and reasons for getting a TRD Pro exactly. Also, it is a very cool truck that should hold its value & demand very well, it's a little unique/special as there just aren't many Pros out there, I happen to get very lucky and had a very narrow window of opportunity to snag it as there were several others who would have if I didn't, and frankly, I could easily afford the few extra $ thousands over the Off Road, so why not? I'll rarely take it too far off road, but knowing I can feels great. I also live in a harsh wintry climate.
BTW, I am new to this Forum (my first post) and pick up my new Cavalry Blue Pro tomorrow! I look forward to learning from and sharing with the Forum members!
