TRD Pro vs Off-Road - Wheel offset and suspension travel question?

[retirementOwl]

Both vehicles have 33" tires, but the stance on the Pro is wider which I like. I have a few questions if anyone can help.

1) Is the wider stance (track width) on the TRD Pro due purely to different wheel offsets?
2) Do the Pro and Off-Road have different or the same suspension travel?
3) Pro has a slightly higher height vs the Off-Road, is this due to extra lift on the Pro?
3) Related to #2 & #3, could I simply throw the TRD Pro wheels and tires onto a TRD Off-Road and get the same look?

Any insights you can give are appreciated!

The track width is completely due to different offset in the wheels. The Pro has wider fender flares to account for the more outset tires. That said, it appears that the Pro has a different upper control arm up front and the fox suspension itself might have more travel in the shock. We won't really know until someone gets both vehicles on a ramp, TBH. The big advantage that the Trailhunter and the Pro have is the swaybar disconnect mechanism that is not available on the TRD off Road.

Thanks! Yes, bummer about the swaybar disconnect. If the upper control arms and shock travel are different, then throwing the Pro wheels and tires on the Off-Road could screw up the geometry and not perform so well. For the Off-Road, maybe just get proper off road tires and call it a day?

Did you see the 2025 Lexus GX Overtrail will have a 1" lift over the 2024 model? So, ground clearance will now be about 10". Apprealing! It also has front and rear swaybar disco, built in air compressor and Aux switches. For about $12k more than the TRD Pro, the new Overtrail has a powerful V6, beautiful design, etc. What to do?

I don't think the geometry will be negatively impacted that much by a relatively small change in offset. If you aren't adding a lift, I wouldn't worry about geometry. If you are going crazy big on tires, all bets are off, though.

The eKDSS GX has less flex than a Land Cruiser with SDM, so I'm not sure how the lift will change things overall. Depends what else changes to go along with the lift.

I think the trailhunter and TRD pro also have 10.1" ground clearance. The TRD off-road I think is 9.1". That could of course also that plastic air dam in the front. Would also explain the approach angle differences. This plastic part is likely easily removable by hand or by going over a curb.
