    So, she got the Rahal edition and, you got a Pro?

    My math isn’t great, but it sounds like you just spontaneously dropped 100 large on matching Toyota Tacomas this week….much respect & congrats on that feat alone!

    Just make sure that you at least get a gift basket from the Sales Manager this Christmas, b/c that guy’s bragging to his friends that he just bought a 40’ Sea Ray.

    It was, though I was under the impression it was going to be a little more even. :p

    No, the Rahal edition was the first time I took her to a Toyota dealership in an attempt to get her into a Taco. She had resisted for many years and I convinced her to try out a 4-runner. But when we showed up to the dealer, the Rayal edition was sitting on the floor. It was Bobby Rahals first attempt at a custom build under the "Graham Rahal Performance Package" GRP#1.
    She took it for a spin and when we got back to the dealer, the salesman asked how she liked it and she said, "Tell that woman to get her hands off my truck"!

    The premise of the post is that several years later and not learning my lesson, I took her by the dealership so I could look at what was new and exciting on the lot. Low and behold, a gray/black TRD Pro was just taken off the truck. It was dusty, plastic everywhere and they had just pulled it out front of their doors...... I had my wife in the truck with me.....and a few hours later it was sitting in the garage!
