    a little too bro for me. the fenders are ok, but the bed graphics remind me of those affliction shirts. not my taste. also not of fan of the 2 tone wheels, but that's just me. i wouldnt pay the extra money for that dealer "package".

    If it lost the graphics, led lights and the skewp and put on an actual sport skewp it would look good. I just don't think that it's worth the extra $$ the dealer is going to charge.

    not worth all that money. I'm not a fan of the graphics or wheels. Just get a new sport and put all the goodies you want on it. :cheers:

    Cheese. Why not just put a sport hood on Toyota? Graphics are lame, wheels over done, LED's looked tacked on as badly as the "hood scoop". Skid plate : meh and the step bars only look right on a lifted truck. The fenders are OK though. Oh, and OVERPRICED!

    Looks like it's trying to hard to be cool. Seems like they've been studying sites like TW to grab that guy who wants the mod look but not the mod work. It's not the worst truck I've ever seen, but no thanks.
