- 2025 TRD Pro White/Red on order
- Thread starter
- #1
I have a 2025 TRD Pro in Ice Cap/Cockpit Red on order through the local Toyota dealership. It's been a process trying to get this truck and finally happy to have one locked in. I'm still not going to believe it until I have the keys in my hand 
I have been wanting a TRD Pro since about '21 or '22 but the dealership never really wanted to work with me to try and purchase one and then once the redesign was announced I decided to hold off to get the new body style which at this point I'm glad I did. Yes, the new ones are more expensive but I also think you are getting a lot more for your money with the new one, so the increase in price is kind of justified in my mind.
I ended up going with a concierge service through CarEdge which so far hasn't been a bad experience as I haven't really had to do a lot on my end. It was $1000 and they do all the work to get you what you want and guarantee you will save at least that much with them or it's free . I started this whole process in July 2024 and he was able to get me exactly what I wanted from my local dealer without any add ons or any BS fees. Well 2024 came and went without a word until around December when he gave me a call and told me they had an allocation and I should be receiving around March. A day after that I get a call from the dealer saying that another dealer took their allocation from them so I lost the truck. Well 2 more months go by without any word and I finally get an email that he was able to get one for me but it had a lot of port installed accessories he was trying to get removed and he got it done with the build I wanted. It already has a VIN so not 100% sure what that means at this point as I am still waiting for an ETA but he did say that this one is locked in and has my name on it.
My build was a TRD Pro in Ice Cap/Cockpit Red with Spray in Bed liner, Integrated Dashcam, and Bed Scene Lighting. I've been on the fence about adding the Rigid Yellow/White Fog lights for $700 but I just can't seem to justify the cost of those.
Since I started this process, I was already getting a list together of accessories/mods I wanted to do to the truck and this is what I have so far.
I just want to say hello and thank you to everyone here who has posted as this seems like one of the best Tacoma forums out there as there is a wealth of information and I will try to help out where I can once I get up to speed on everything.

- BAK Revolver X4S Tonneau Cover
- Cali Raised Step Edition Rock Sliders with Kick Out
- Tufskinz Reflective Tailgate Inserts
- Ark Splash guards (Thanks to Tacoma4g.com !!!)
- Rigid Reverse lights for ARB bumper from SPV (Another thanks to T4G!!!)
- Full Ceramic Window Tint
- MESO Customs interior LED light upgrade
- Set of Ditch lights-still researching that
- Debating whether it's worth upgrading the tires as I don't really want E Load Rated tires as this will be my daily driver and I don't plan on doing a lot of off roading(as of right now )
