    How do you make a mistake like that? I am wondering if they posted this video before toyota made an announcement about the PRO?

    Did you not see the huge gap between TRD and PRO in the video? They weren't even applied correctly

    Totally feels like they are selling this truck on the streets of China. Knock off. They will probably just get a slap on the wrists from Toyota. There are some good dealers out there but these guys are highway robbery.

    I like my home made clone. Permissible, since they won't give us one in Canada.
