    My 2019 SR is O.K. so far. Hoping that seeing how the 3rd brake light is different than the upper models it will not cause me any headaches..

    Where did you find this stuff? I'm thinking it just might be the answer to all the stupid posts about "What size tires and lift should I get"? posts. It might even solve the "Oil Change Interval" thread epidemic! ANSWER ME, bro!

    Wow, these posts really do go south quickly, lol. Well per the service bulletin, I believe they changed the actual production part number shortly before the TSB was issued, so I think all 2019s should be good.
