    Yes but Toyota absolves themselves from all responsibility if you crash due to panties being thrown at you covering the windshield.

    What they really wanted to write under a bit lip was.

    Dear Sir,

    Do you remember those sliders you bought and how you told you're wife this would make getting in the truck easier? The 3rd gen of Tacoma has been out for five years now and in that time your core muscles have atrophied to the point where you need a grab handle like a little bitch. I suggest checking out the Toyota Avalon or consulting a personal trainer. At Toyota we happen to think this is just another I need this mod

    Remember when we didn't have airbags...or wore seatbelts in the back seat....or rode in the back of a truck bed. Good times...good times.

    It was not all fun and games, double digit interest rates and the big three could build a car that was worth half a shit.

    I’m pretty sure the email looked more like this.

    I Decided to write Toyota and get their opinion on “Racing a Raptor” and “Off Roading” on the beach. The reply was as expected somewhat generic but also quite specific.


    "Dear Delusional customer,


    Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.


    Other than Toyota Racing Development (TRD), we do not recommend or assist with modifying our vehicles from the original factory specifications. We also do not recommend any racing or attempting to race a truck that was not intended to race. For what ever reason you believe that your vehicle is meant for racing you clearly are wrong. We also do not recommend that you engage in any racing with “Raptors” as they will certainly leave you in the dust, we have created a machine that will destroy them on actual off road capabilities. Buy off road we mean actual off road, not on a beach driving up and down.


    Toyota's warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of any part supplied by Toyota, we do not cover your sensitive emotional feelings that you may have.

    This is a great troll thread. It’s like what the roast thread used to be. Hats off to ‘burica.
