    Prior to contacting the Ohio dealership, I went to the four local NY dealerships, checkbook in hand. All of them said "we have plenty of TRD OR/Sports, anything else we'd have to order/allocate & will be over MSRP, have a good day!" :rofl:

    I was so close to signing for a PRO (even though 4 doors rubbed me the wrong way) when my utility 4X4 popped up in Newburgh for 24k. Basically bought it sight unseen. They had to drive to me to pick me up because nobody there could drive stick, and I couldn’t drive myself because I’d end up having to leave my 1st gen.

    That's why I canceled my free dealership oil changes, haha! I heard tires chirp, looked out and the front-end of my truck is at full extension & settling back down after the tech apparently sidestepped the clutch trying to pull it into the service bays :goingcrazy:

    Uhh sometimes it likes to stay in a lower gear so I just turn cruise control on and it shifts to the proper gear or I do it manually by taking it out of drive and and shift it and when accelerating from a stop I’ll hear feel almost like a slight grinding noise

    How’s the difference with the heavier tires?

    You auto or manual?

    Love the look!

    I don’t know how much changed (if any) from 2015 to 2016 in the Utility Package trucks but I have the WeatherTech in the rear of mine and it’s a great full perimeter fit.

    I’ll snap a picture this weekend.

    Toyota should just rename the SR trim to "TRD Beard".

    So do the 2019 SR models with the MID in the gauge cluster have all the same functions as say an SR5 model?

    I am aware the OffRoad trucks have more information to display based on settings for the traction aides and stuff.

    Any of you guys looked into aftermarket front bumpers?

    I’m thinking an ARB would look fantastic on the front of one of these trucks.

    I’m just not warming up as fast to the whole unpainted front end!

    I want to like it! I really really do.

    When you rub up against something and there's no black plastic showing through the paint...it grows on you.

    Check out the SSO bumper...blends well, I think.
