    Yeah, the bedside stamp on the TRD Pro certainly implies that they're leaning into it harder than ever, as does the bigger-than-ever stamping on the new Tundra.

    It seems weird to me that they'd stamp something into a panel and then sell stick-on emblems to fill it back in, for any reason other than to make money on those stick-on emblems. And at $160 a set (MSRP if your truck comes with it), they certainly are making money...

    Yeh those die stampers aren't cheap. They'll be around for a while.

    They will do like Nissan does by using the Titans Frame rails under the Frontier.

    I'm sure it's purely stylistic, but doesn't stamping a piece of metal make it more rigid as well? Isn't that why we roll seams into large sheets, to add stiffness? Possibly a nice consequence of stamping those pieces.

    It might be a little selfish/stupid, but honestly I won't be mad if they do away with the manual on the next gen so that I won't have any desire to get one lol

    Watsup with these huge letters on the tailgates? Did they get it from RAM or something? I’m not a fan to be honest.

    I seriously believe it is a cost cuttng thing, stamped metal is cheaper than badges and stickers.

    Interesting, very well could be.

    Why make the stamping so huge though? Haha.

    Just a guess, but I would think the larger it is the easier it is to stamp cleanly and the tooling would probably last longer too.

    Stamping over a larger area should help distribute the stamping stress through more metal, isolate stress risers in the sheet, etc. Larger stamp would probably help the panel a bit during expansion when heated up too. I'm not an ME tho, just thinking of it from an FEA perspective.
