    I really like how they look with an aftermarket front bumper and grill, but the powertrain is definitely not donkey tits.

    It's a V6 mid size... Not a Ford F350 6.7L Powerstroke. With that being said, I don't mind the "sluggish" transmission, cause I drive trucks like trucks, not like a Ford Mustang.

    All caps :smack:

    The 3rd gen TRD OR I've driven is perfect, and only gripe I have is the low seat... Easily fixed with a cushion to sit on like I have in mine.

    But when the stock truck feels a hell of a lot slower than my truck on 285’s, it’s a no go for me.

    Have you tried the rear seat washers? I have them on my truck and it makes a world of difference in comfort

    They feel perfect to me. Although I've realized they won't ever come close to the reliability on my 2008.
