    A lot of people are idiots. :notsure:

    Think of how many times someone has seen a lowered car and all they can say is "how do they think they're going to drive it like that?! So stupid!"

    You are right. The TRD is NOT lifted, BUT the rake is different from a Non-TRD.

    TRD-equipped trucks often have less rake compared to a non-TRD truck. Measurements on some customer’s trucks have revealed as much as 1.0” difference in the factory front end height.

    And my answer to the OP is:
    Sacrilege!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

    To each their own though! :)

    I'd be curious to see one anyway even if I am not in to that style.

    I have a 3rd gen 4x4 and I am going to lift it because I plan on using it for camping and some off-roading BUT lowered trucks are just bad ass. I would love to see a lowered 3rd gen. Lowered 2nd gens look awesome especially the regular cabs.

    I'd like to see it.

    I LOVED the X-Runners, almost bought one instead of my GTO, but the dealership was being a major dick (refused test drive, didn't want to remove the camper shell, etc etc). Actually, everywhere I looked dealers were pretty rude, and the only private party one I found had 3 oil changes in 60k (Amsoil...I don't buy into that 15k oil change crap). My girl thinks they are hideous, but what can I say, I like em low and fast! lol
