    You can dim the dash and button lights. Twist the odometer reset button counter clockwise to dim them. You can make them incredibly dim.

    Give it a try on a dark night and put your truck in reverse. Even if you have the display screen "off' the backup camera image comes on like the sun. Additionally the transmission/gear selector LED does not seem to dim with the dash.

    Hmmm... Damn. Fortunately it's never been an issue for me, but I understand eyes and vision are different for every individual.

    You can dim the backup cam, there should be a menu for it deep in the head unit.

    No more severe duty than what a minivan engine goes through. In the hierarchy of engines, the 3.5L minivan motor is at least 3x stronger than that oil-burning, gutless, truck motor they put in the 2nd gen tacos. The 2nd gen had a 5 speed auto because it was too weak to push 6th gear. Proven facts.

    The mistake you have made is the Pro is a poser truck to begin with, so I think it just cancels out. You can’t really be a poser posing as a poser.

    Not one to complain, but for me, basically any modification that ends with your rear suspension being severely overloaded. You see this a lot with 4R's, but some Tacomas too.

    Upgrade those rear leafs damnit! The rake looks terrible!

    You have nothing to worry about. Enjoy your awesome machine.
    The only people who hate on Pros are jealous, can't afford one or both.

    No. Pro guys can’t be friends. It’s part of the secret code of “PROfessional” Tacoma drivers.

    Pro owners gatekeeping pro grilles? Who would have ever imagined :jerkoff:

    You’re probably aware that dealerships install that grille with oem suspension lifts to lower the tss right? Edit: ^this is wrong^

    Lol this had me in tears buddy. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Which means it's time for me to stir the pot again -

    Maybe Toyota will drop the 2GR-FKS in the Hilux, Fortuner, LC 70 and LC Prado someday. Interesting that they haven't done that yet, given the 1GR and 2GR were released within a year of each other. It's almost like Toyota designed the two motors for different purposes ;)

    Minivan duty is no joke tho. Minivan's are probably some of the most neglected motors in the USA lol
