Dupe...posted yesterday.

"Cooler" is subjective. To me, it's more of a huge meh.

Lame body kit...perhaps you can call me juvenile but the TRD acronym always makes me think TURD. Gross!

They do make an outstanding oil filter though.

I'd observe that imo Toyotas makeover of the '17's resulted in styling directed to a fan of Japanese anime'. Gag me with multiple spoons.

Garish styling tends to fade away fast. Something a bit more conservative, say a 100 series, continues to look good much longer. MBZ sells more G-Wagens every year with the basic box style. The issue now is that since 'Yota committed to a Star Wars snowplow motif, they're stuck on the Bizarro highway. I think styling will be crazier, again imo, as time passes.

The front end is too extreme for me.

It makes it look lower to the ground versus a taller stance. I really like the look of my 2015. Loved the look of my 1995 Landcruiser and my 100 series after a 2" lift. But as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I won't be needing a new one for awhile.

No accounting for someone's tastes but this is a bit over done for me.

Tell TRD to give us DIESEL if they want me to get excited!

...and a fuel tank that holds 10-15 more gallons.
