    Thanks for the pics! Just wish the TRD grille didn't have the chrome trim piece. I wish the whole grille, including the trim, was black (no chrome).

    Any changes to the back of the truck? Any info. on lights updates (LEDs etc)?

    A few pages back shows a screen shot of the changes for 18 and it shows Calvary Blue as a color for the 18 Tacoma Pro

    the Tundra Pro was removed from the lineup.

    Think the only thing I liked about the Tundra pro was the stamped bed sides.. wish we got that on the Tacos. I'd put the recessed black lettering on my QS

    I am sure I am in the minority here, but here are my 2 cents.

    The Limted and Pro are "top tier" units and designed for different consumers, admittedly, but they should each have a defining styled grill.

    The Limited looks like it is just a color change. Why not color keyed, a unique style, or a "pro grill" that is a different color, something besides base model style.:boink:

    I am disapointed that the Limited shares that same grill with the SR and the Pro has a unique grill compared to the other TRD's.

    That said, the TRD grill is an improvement, but still not what I would call good looking.

    On a different, yet simular note... Why do the OR get unpainted black flairs and not black (unpainted) mirrors?

    My '04 had unpainted flairs, grill, and mirrors. Frankly, I like the look. I think a fair number of us with 3rd gens still like the unpainted flairs, hence the trade thread.

    Why would you want a scoop, or a lift, or a topper, or ......

    It is a taste thing, if we all shared exaclty the same tastes the world would be quite boring.

    So, why wouldn't I want them to be unpainted black?

    So you can clean/wax them? Painted black would be better than unpainted. But you're right. To each their own.

    Expect a turbo v6 and turbo-diesel option for the Tundra at the next gen (2021-ish). A diesel (Hilux-type) engine is "under investigation" for the Tacoma in a few years, but nothing official yet.

    The supercharger isn't dead, but it's certainly on the way out. Better option (in terms if availability) is going to be a turbo on the 2GR. The new Lexus LS500 dropped the v8 and went with a TT v6 (2GR). That'll be a sweet motor, with more than 400 hp. But the trend is drop some cylinders and add forced induction.

    Just a teaser for the grills for right now. That's the biggest change in appearance. You'll all find out in a couple months anyway when you swing by the dealerships.
