    OP, just save your pennies and get ready to buy a super charger or TT kit from OV Tune once he finishes and releases them.

    You no longer need a big V8 to get power. We can make great power from 4 or 6 cyl. The type of trans used also makes a big difference, as does tuning. Toyota failed to address any of these with the 3rd gen tacoma, and instead seems to have focused on bulletproof quality (which I think we all appreciate) and MPG's.

    When it comes to MPG's, I agree with the sentiment "it's a truck!!!" However, there is nothing to say a truck can't have performance.

    That’s all good. Troll/bot, doesn’t matter. They show up, think they’re clever, disappear...but the jokes on them, because we milk the lolcow in the 3rd gen sub. Thanks for the treats.

    The truck is laughable. Smash the pedal and you get nothing until maybe 4.5k rpms then it rockets away lol

    Right around the 40 to 45 mph mark it gets real confused.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Read: I don't know how to drive a truck.

    The M/T 3rd gen 3.5 can smoke a stock Camaro (6 cylinder) off the line. If you think your truck is slow, try not dumping the skinny pedal. Work with the truck. My 17 4cylinder was no slob either. Didn't have much passing power at 80 mph, but its also a TRUCK, not a Riced out Civic. :crapstorm::duel::militarypress:

    That’s the OR they had on display earlier this year in Dallas. It looked good.

    Nice changes except the tail lights and mirror turns. How did they not kill the chrome and fix the design.

    The fogs look nice also, but I wonder if they will be an improvement over the halogens?

    Good pics of the front camera also.

    Well, they can’t be any worse. Lol. The coming leds look Morimoto. If they are, they will be good.

    I wasn't a fan of the stock ones until I realized that they were aimed poorly. Once adjusted to be level, they are actually pretty good. I am just assuming that any DoT fog is going to be about equivalent. I really haven't seen one that was better than others but am not an expert.

    I'd say for stock driving the factory fogs do their job. BUT just about any aftermarket is an upgrade, whether you're looking for lumens, patern, distance, color (bro... blue fogs aren't cool, no matter what you drive) etc.
