    Didn't see your post until this evening. I explained already - quite clearly, and you chose to ignore. :notsure:

    It's really not that important so I'll let it go.

    Here's what the dude said:

    You can't put together what dude is saying and want to make it about something it's not, so I break it down for you, nicely might I add:

    :rimshot: And here's your response:

    I gave you the answer. 2x's now. Nicely. I'd love you to quote where I started the argument or dodged you. What I did was decided I was going to step aside - nicely - rather than continue a conversation that was turning into an argument with someone who is not interested in what I am saying. Sounds smart to me, not like a dodge. And you respond like that? I think I'm the one that expected too much. I've always kind of looked up to you on here, but damn dude - what gives?

    That article mentions the TRD Pro which many have said will not be part of the 2016 line up.


    TT: This truck offers five grades. How do you differentiate one from another?
    KH: That is challenging. The SR5 is the staple, the do-anything, truck-as-a-tool, get-it-done truck. The Limited speaks to buyers looking for more premium finishes to dress up their trucks a bit, especially in the cabin and on the grille. Then we have the badass TRD Off Road, and the ultra-badass TRD Pro.

    What it does do is reconfirm from yet another high-level Toyota source that the company intentionally designed the Tacoma to have different capabilities & to target a different group of end-users than what the Tundra offers & who it targets.

    They flat tell us Tundra is for towing, Tacoma for recreation. Unfortunately those plain-English facts are lost on a certain percentage of folks.

    They previously mentioned a TRD Pro. I wouldn't expect one at launch because they will have enough demand to sell everyone they build. They still haven't officially released the specs, prices, option packages yet. Can't wait till they release all the info. Getting tired of all the speculation.
