It's an OR. Suspect wouldn't put the bed decal on a Pro IMO.

Eh as long as they like it, that’s what counts.
If you’ve really want to know, it appears the upper control arms are the standard issue.

I think it is actually a pro, but not sure why they would put OR on the Bed. It has the Pro Hood, LED Headlights, Fog Lights, Wheels, and looks like a Fox shock in the rear.......not sure what is going on there

at one point toyota was putting OR stickers on the pro tacos... i cant imagine why someone would do a complete "pro swap"-tail gate badges, door badges, wheels, hood, full grille, fogs, etc.

odds are pretty high its a real pro

I believe I read somewhere here that there was a brief period in where Pro trucks accidentally got the OR stickers on the bed, as well as the usual Pro treatments. At least one recipient took it back to the dealer to have those removed so he wasn’t mistaken for a peasant.

Yes, faux.

Why you ask?

Everything TRD branded is faux. Nothing on any street issued Toyota came out of the Toyota Racing Development program.

TRD stuff is just feel good fluff.

I wouldn't go that far. Its not gonna make you go faster but the suspension upgrades are nice, as well as the LED headlights, and the rest looks nice in my opinion "faux" or not.

Looks like a '21 Pro.

Somebody spending some time and money (those appear to be TRD Pro headlights) to make their OR look like a Pro would easily remove the bed decals.

Probably a Pro owner who likes the 4x4 decal and added it. After all, people like the looks of Raptor lights and add them as well.

As in the TRD logo is just that. A logo. Which is meaningless.
