    Its name is Pig.
    I weight a lot. New leafs and 700 lbs springs help a ton. Front bumper is only 55 lbs..aluminum. Skids are aluminum as well. But rear bumper sliders cap etc adds a ton o weight. Put a tent on and it's too much I think. 4.88's and a Trailer is next to take care of some of the weight issues...I think I am about the Max you would want to run...

    As for handling...keep in the speed limit and all is well. Go to much over in the corners and it can be interesting. You do have to drive with intent.

    Already tried the hood trade thread and didn’t get any responses. If anyone wants to trade their scooped hood for my non-scooped hood and lives in the Pacific Northwest US. (Oregon, Washington, Idaho), let me know.

    Mine is a 2016 with 20k miles on it. Still in excellent shape. Truck is garaged.

    Because the cross-traffic navigation that is part of the tech package (optional on TRDs, standard on Limited) requires it. Chroming the caps would block the radar signal. Since those trucks have to have the painted plastic caps, all TRDs get them.

    Maybe now. When the 16's first rolled out the tech package was rare as hen's teeth.

    I have a 16, I bought Jan of 16. I could have bought without tech if I wanted to.
    If you get a TRDOR, non tech, then you get chrome bumper caps

    Weird. A couple of my Austin TW peeps have ORs with factory painted caps, no tech package. Here's one.

    Yes Toyo M/T on Mamba M13 wheels. I am stepping away from any chrome. Black is quiet beauty.
