    I need help solving a mystery. I recently bought a 2015 Tacoma. The Carfax report on it says it’s a TRD Pro. I see no indication that it is. First there is no branding anywhere that says Pro. The wheels, grill, hood all seem standard TRD. I don’t know enough about shocks, tires, and exhaust pipes to identify them. How can I know for sure

    You dont a have PRO. If you wanted a PRO you would know its a PRO.

    That is like FORD buyer saying he wasnt sure if he got a RAPTOR.
