    well i am finally a proud Taco owner, i upgraded form an old run down 1987 F-150 handed down form my dad that he bought brand new. i now own a 2010 MGM double cab TRD off road prerunner, bought it with 32k miles on it, seems pretty reasonable to me. iv done a few upgrades since iv had it, got me some black gear rims and beefier tires, simple 3" lift, and a killer Alpine sound system. I have a list longer then you can image of the changes i want to make tom it, just lacking the money portion :mad:. i also got a question for you more experienced taco owners... have you ever seen the TRD graphics on the door panels like i have? i personally have never seen them and iv done research trying to find why mine has it but have come up with nothing

    Welcome!
    The graphics are definitely not a factory option. You do have the RR lock button on the left of the steering wheel, correct?

    Welcome to the site!

    Those are not standard TRD decals. Either the previous owner did not like the bedside decals and changed it, or it is not a real TRD and he just added it because he liked the TRD idea. Either way, I think it looks nice.

    that sucks man. best thing you can do is right to the bbb, a google/yelp/dealerrater/cars.com review about the dealer and what they did, be honest and try not to bash but let others know.

    in the 2010 OR you should have the locker switch to the left, the ATRAC switch in the middle under the radio, the sport seats, and the outlet in the bed. you should also have the smoked headlights, IIRC. those are some the main and easily recognizable distinctions over the SR5, which is what you must actually have.

    the OR package is a few grand over the SR5, so I would definitely be bitching. please say it wasnt a toyota dealer...
