Lexus' mid-size SUV is the latest to receive the TRD styling treatment with this Japan-only body kit.

The only thing I don't like are those low profile tires, they don't belong on SUV and wait till you hit a pothole and have to replace the wheel too $$$$

Been driving low profile tires for years and never a single flat let alone wheel issue. Its overrated.

It's not a question of flats, only a question of cushioning, if your roads are smooth then there is no problem, but if you have potholes beware, I speak from experience also as a rally driver in my youth I fail to see any advantage in low profile other than perhaps for some, aestethics. There is however an advantage in racing on the track as a lower profile and stiffer sidewall will give you a sharper input steering.

My usual question about any TRD edition, is there more HP? The answer is no! Racing should mean faster too!
