- 2023 TRD Off Road SR5 4X4

I’ve got a slightly built 3rd Gen Army Green Tundra that I love — but a Magnetic Gray Metallic TRD Pro caught my eye.
Now I’m stuck debating: Should I upgrade or stick with what I’ve built?
Why I’m considering the upgrade:
- TRD Pro comes loaded with premium off-road features straight from the factory (Fox suspension, skid plates, locking rear diff, etc.)
- Magnetic Gray Metallic looks insane in person — clean, aggressive, and unique.
- Resale value on TRD Pros tends to hold strong.
- Less money spent on future upgrades.
- I already have time, money, and mods invested into my current build.
- My Army Green color is iconic and super sought after.
- I’d be basically starting over with customizations (even though the Pro is pretty loaded).
- Emotional attachment to a truck I’ve already made my own.
- TRD Pros aren’t cheap.
- Trading in means eating potential costs like taxes, fees, and aftermarket value losses.
- Could I take that money and make my current Tundra even more badass?
- TRD Pro = Built to hit trails straight from the lot.
- But my current build already handles off-roading without a problem — and I can tailor it even more to my exact style.
Am I chasing a better truck — or just the excitement of something new?
Sometimes the truck you built is better than a truck you bought already built.
Final Thought:
Both are beasts.
But right now… I’m leaning toward appreciating the build I already have and maybe adding a few more upgrades to make it even more “me.”
Still… that Magnetic Gray Metallic TRD Pro is tempting!
