This limits you away from getting the TRD Pro which was the trim I was shopping for specifically because I didn’t want to have to do any aftermarket modifications to the suspension or camera setup.

Sadly the manual transmission is only on the lower end trims and only with the weaker powertrain option. This is why I bought the 23 Pro instead of waiting 6 months for these.

Torque is fixed with my tune, the disconnect is a nice to have for sure, but given that the outgoing Pro already has slightly better angles, I feel like the overall articulation clearance is probably going to stay the same. Plus, the price differential between the new model and old one will allow to put in a similar aftermarket solution tbh.

No manual option in the top trims is the reason I bought my 2023 Pro. Honestly, all the tech is kind of meh. They also increased the size by I believe 5 and 7 inches? Which is rough for my forest excursions. Rear discs are nice though.
