Building The Ultimate 4Runner: More Than a TRD Pro

When most people think "ultimate 4Runner," they picture the TRD Pro.

And it makes sense — Fox shocks, upgraded suspension, skid plates, and exclusive badging.

But here’s the reality: Pros are nearly impossible to find.

The rare ones that do hit our lot? Already pre-sold.

One of our friends at Phil Long Toyota learned that firsthand. He was set on a TRD Pro… until we showed him a smarter path.

The truth is, much of what makes the Pro special doesn’t matter for everyday driving.

Fox shocks and desert-tuned suspension shine on hardcore trails — not the school run or a weekend camping trip.

So we built him something better.

A TRD Sport, customized to fit his life:

• 2-inch lift
• All-terrain tires
• Tuned exhaust system

Trail-ready on weekends. Comfortable during the week. Aggressive enough to turn heads anywhere.

At the end of the day, it wasn’t about chasing the rarest trim.

It was about building the 4Runner that actually fit his lifestyle.
