    Meh who cares. The sticker is just that, a sticker.

    I didn't buy a TRD for the sticker.

    We have a dealer (not Toyota) in town that buys up base model Tacos, slaps aftermarket wheels and a TRD Off Road sticker on the trucks, and sells them at a stupid markup. And they sell like crazy. Marketing at its finest. :facepalm:

    I very recently bought a '13 SR5 that the previous owner put TRD offroad decals on. I would not have done it myself, but they do look kinda cool so I'm leaving them on there for now. Of course I traded in a Kia Soul to buy this truck and I may or may not have done something very much like that to the Kia.... but I swear it was just for a laugh. HAHAHA!

    You can be a fan of TRD and put a sticker on your vehicle without it being originally sold as a TRD model. No different than putting a Mopar sticker on an old Dodge. Unlike guitars, no one has been sued by Toyota for putting a TRD sticker on a non TRD model.
