    You took a picture of the inside of some guys/gals truck.. You're in 'Merica. You're lucky you never got shot. You've never seen the "guy came up to me and said nice truck" in a Lowes parking lot story before?

    I suppose I should have added one of these :rolleyes: to my post... but still, I don't think I'd be too damn happy if I caught some nosy bastard taking pictures of the inside of my truck.

    But what makes it "limited"?

    I saw a '12 driving around Portland that had TRD Super Sport stickers on the bedsides. It still had dealer plates on the truck

    I agree as well, but we're not the majority of the market. The majority of the market (even Tacoma owners) like chrome. That's the reason they put it on there.

    I got my Limited on Friday and love it. I had a 2006 SR5 4x4 and just sold it and upgraded. The JBL stereo is amazing. The heated leather seats are very comfortable and the navigation/phone screen is easy to use, even for a tech challenged person.
