    i don't think having the pro grill qualifies as an impersonator. if the truck was festooned with the trd pro stickers and snorkel, id agree with you

    I have Pro grille. I’m not a Pro. I proudly say I have an SR5. I do want a Pro but financially I can’t justify it ... yet... :thumbsup:

    You can put lipstick on a pig and it will still be a pig. So says Sarah Palin.

    It’s ok to have a pro grille, pro rims, or rigid fogs to your non TRD Pro truck.
    But you adding “Pro badges and emblems” to your non TRD Pro truck is considered the ultimate poser.

    If I ever see this truck in person I’m going to yell “ stolen valor!” Lol

    Eh, the grip and hope are nice. But the rest is just meh for the cost to me.
    The suspension is great until you add weight.


    All in all the pro is still a very nice truck for the right type of person.

    Girl I went to high school with used to do something similar, she’d put SVT Cobra logos on her 4 cylinder mustang because “she liked the way it looked.” It’s her car and she can do whatever, but I think posing your vehicle as something it isn’t is pretty lame. Either get the pro or leave off the pro badges, no one likes a poser.
    Just my opinion!
