    There's a dealership in Henderson,NV that is selling a 2016 TRD OR equipped with ICON suspension. I wouldn't be mad if that dealership called it a TRD Pro haha

    More updates on this place.

    Apparently they charge $4900 for an Icon Stage 2, plus wheels and tires. Obviously it changed depending on combinations.

    Although talking to the guy, it sounds like they claim stage 2, but the upgrades are like stage 3.

    They replaced the 2.0 for 2.5 rear shocks and added UCAs.


    Sounds like if you want to buy a lifted truck from a dealer that's the place to go.

    Sounds like they made this truck more like the "TRD Pro" without slapping a TRD Pro badge on it and advertising it as the "new TRD Pro". That's how its done.

    They took it down within 24 hours of release, I think one of the members saved the video before it was taken down, if you read some of the earlier posts, you might be able to figure out which member has it and PM him

    To give you the rundown of basically what the video was, imagine this.

    Dorky guy using works like "extra heavy duty, off road racing, baja tuned, this truck is for the top 1%". Shit like that for a solid five minutes. He referred to a TRD Off Road as a TRD Pro the entire time and the dealers attempt to make it look like a TRD Pro was a TRD Pro badge on the side affixed incorrectly.

    That shit was misleading as hell. That wasn't a new guy trying to earn an honest living. That was pure dealership shadiness aimed at deceiving some uninformed sucker. So many misrepresentations it's crazy.
