    Just read this http://www.tctmagazine.net/latest-news/toyota-unveils-trd-pro-series man that kinda sucks for us Baja guys. I wonder what the price point for this new lineup is and if they are running the same setup as the Baja. I do like the front grille and in the pics it looks like the headlights are blacked out, like that as well.

    I saw one of the 'features' was a decreased spring rate... So does that mean that the rear leafs are going to be even more useless? Otherwise, it's a sharp looking truck but basically just the Baja with a face lift.

    Same truck as what, a standard TRD? Cause it has the front tuned suspension (like the Baja) and now the remote resis in the rear (like the baja) If its $33k IM GOING TO SHIT MY PANTS!

    I like the color. Would be nice if Toyota put out a raptor fighter. Although a LT truck with the supercharger would hold its own nicely.

    From a Toyota dealer, the LT + Supercharger would be a $20k option, it would blow my mind if they sold more than one.

    Looks like the grill is just a different insert.

    Looks like a great way to blow money for some extra badging. Aftermarket suspension options are still superior, and anyone that's truly offroading is going to armor up anyway. When I saw the commercial, I had buyer's remorse. None to be found now.
