Quote:The Tundra gets TRD-tuned springs with 2-inch front lift, softer springs all around, 18-inch aluminum wheels with Michelin ORP tires, a TRD dual exhaust, red seat stitching, a unique instrument panel, and “TRD PRO” stamped into each quarter panel.
I don't think any SVT engineers are losing sleep over a lift kit and seat stitching.

You missed the part about remote reservoir shocks, skid plates, and nifty floor mats dick nose.

All of which you can get installed on your Tundroma right now, if you tell the dealer to do it.
I'd be waaaaaaaaaaay more impressed if they came with the TRD supercharger from the factory and had actual beadlockers (like the Raptor does) instead of "beadlocker appearance" which is functionally equivalent to buick portholes.
Yeah sorry, still not impressed.

Oh that's what all those studs are for on offroad wheels? TIL.

But but but, at least the Tundra can "twerk it". I can attest with personal experience the tundra does that. With tysons roads being so miserable, I found both the Tundra and Q7 were MISERABLE with lots of potholes, and surprisingly GM and MB were much much better with Ford just a bit behind. (I test drove lots of trucks in Tysons when I was looking for a truck).

QFT. All they did was add some fancy paint and accent parts. Tacoma wheels look like shit IMO. All mallcrawler style .
What Rex said, gimme a factory supercharger and honestly.. those skids plates don't look they're built to handle much abuse. :dunno:
Re: Automotive News Discussion - Senor_Taylor - 02-07-2014
Yeah, plus Billies aren't that great.
If they wanted to actually do something, they'd throw some fox or icons on there.
I've never liked the idea of a vehicle lifted from factory...
The grill is cool, but it's nothing Tacoma owners haven't been doing themselves for years now.
Packages like these are dumb, no serious off-roader would ever buy these. They'd just save the money and make their own setup. Isn't the point of mods on your vehicle to make it unique?
Bunch of bros on fancy wheels rolling around the mall together while my stock height truck kicks their ass :dunno:

That TRD bolt-on (bro-on?) bullshit isnt even worth mentioning.

Oh, I thought we were talking about the bolt on TRD Supercharger specifically...
Yeah, I agree with the other stuff.

Fake. No Toyota press release, no care. A few outlets reached out to Toyota USA after this article and they're still saying it's a concept.
