In December of 2014, I bought my first Tacoma: 2013 TRD Sport in MGM with 19,000 miles. I always owned midsize pickups, but got burned on all the issues the Big 3 bring to the table. I went for the Tacoma for the legendary reliability above all else. And she did not disappoint. I put 80,000 trouble-free miles on that truck before selling nearly exactly 5 years later.
After getting more into off-roading and the overlanding scene, I wanted the stock locker of the Off Road. For a few years I was looking at picking up a used '15 Off Road if one ever came to the market. Then Toyota announced the mid-generational refresh of the 3rd Gen.
Also, they were releasing the Army Green color.
While one can make the case for a fully-loaded Off Road is basically a Pro, the extras of the Pro really won me over. Plus that COLOR
I had no real luck trying to pre-order a Pro from my local dealerships. They all tried to sell me on the 19 Pro instead. "It's basically the same". C'mon, man. I'm not that dumb.
