    Does anyone know if the later series TX trucks have a different frame, similar to the braced X Runner street truck?

    I was researching info about installing the "X" brace (which is supposedly why the X Runner is named) and found some press release info in just one article mentioning the TX series were beefed up.

    I have not seen it mentioned on TW any where. Most posts about the TX series or TX Baja slam the truck and say it is overpriced options.

    Anyone ever crawl underneath both an off-road model and a TX Baja side by side and compare?

    Maybe the "X" in TX is for a braced frame similar to the X Runner.

    Thanks

    TTT,

    if I can find out for certain I may trade in the 2010 prerunner DCLB with low miles and get the newer truck, just need to make it happen before 2013.
