From an economic perspective, explain Toyota's exclusive TRD Pro grille

He is not too smart if he does that.

 

Hahaha! Yeah right. People with the kind of money you are talking about generally buy with common sense and won’t spend $10,000-15,000 for a snazzy TRD OR and Sport hybrid. With a supercharger would be a totally different conversation.

Pro = Never a good financial decision if you want the best bang for your buck.

 

I was gonna look into putting a pro grille in my truck.. but the more i look at my plain ol black SR grille.. Im really digging it.. If the pro grille wasnt so damn high I might consider it.. And I dont want the issues that possibly come with that TSS warning shit... So I dont wanna roll the dice on a warranty denial..

 

I toyed with just replacing the chrome bezel around the grille with the black one from an SR. Keeps the TSS stuff unmolested.

This guy did it and I think it looks great. Even though I ended up replacing mine with the OEM Pro.

I can always count on you shit talking pros on pretty much any thread you can

 

This thread is grilling.

 

Why not tell the truth. Would you rather me lie? I don’t think so bud. I don’t go out of my way to do so, but I will let my opinion be known. Have a good one!

Would you rather me bash a F150 that I know nothing about?

Also, FWIW I don’t hate the truck... I hate the price. Unless... It’s a Cav Blue one. I definitely don’t like that color and I will say so in public. Remember it’s a free country which I signed up to fight for and thank God... Merica!!!

 

with doing that, he then becomes a flaming asshole......

 

For sure manufacturers have always done this. I know back in the 90’s you had to have the right VIN # to get a z71 sticker from
Chevrolet.

Toyota did this with other parts too the FJ Cruiser trail team edition had black mirrors, door handles, and bumper caps and *most reputable dealers needed a trail team VIN to sell you the replacement parts. It was a popular mod too because the silver trim looked awful. Funny enough when my FJ got rear ended the body shop had a hell of a time finding the trail team bumper caps even though mine where plastidipped!

 

I think he'd be comfortable with that.
