TRD Faux or not lol?

I would love to have one of these mislabeled Pros, just to drive all you TW hatchet wounds crazy!

 

Plus 1 for real Pro.

 

looks like a vehicle with cardboard suspension, small tires, no armor, with bunch of stickers and plastic slapped on

 

This^

It’s a 21 Pro. This was the first year production of the Pro was moved from TX to Mexico. The OR stickers on the bedside were a minor hiccup that was straightened out relatively quickly in production. It was being coined the “Mexican Special”. Mine came with the decals and I promptly took them off.

My guess is this person is not obsessed with his truck like the rest of us and likely has no idea the stickers were a production mishap.

 

Well gawd damn, learn something new every day. I didn't know that. Kinda like a collectors item I guess.

 

Here I am concerned about putting a TRD grille on my Limited.

 

Maybe they did it on purpose to confuse us.

 

never put your faith in stickers. $15+ shipping does not a TRD make.




but all these threads are definitely making me consider digging out the extra hellcat badges and locating some PRO-4X decals for the taco now...

 

I'll go with this statement.

I see a front camera on the grill...as well as those non-chrome rear tail lights.

When did they start the TRD Pro imprint on the side of the bed?

 

HAHAHAHA now thats funny.
Maybe i'll get NISMO stickers for mine.

 

Oddly enough, the OP appears to be driving an F-150, is wearing a North Face jacket, and is using a Minolta camera. Not sure if any of these are faux or not. Only the OP knows the answer, if that’s who you really are!

 

Are you just as confused when you see a Tacoma with 4runner Trd Pro wheels?

 

When Dennis Collins from Coffee Walk gets it or it goes across the stage at Barret Jackson, this collector's item PRO is going to bring big bucks. Probably shouldn't be racking up the miles on it using it as a daily. Or don't over think it. He bought it off a used car lot and paid used PRO money for a used OR and has no clue except for his wallet being a little lighter.

 

DUDE why are you following me and taking pictures of my truck?
I am just going to a hotel with a co-worker to talk about Amway products?
please delete

 

let me just make this clear. i have ZERO intention in shaming any individual whatsoever. this is all just light hearted humor.

 

I want a Hellcat badge for my Tacoma. Heck, I'll take the motor and stuff it in there while I'm at it.

 

This^
Pro tacos (and manuals) were the last trim to be built in TX as taco production shifted fully to MX.
The shift happened mid '21 and yes. A few of the first MX built pros came out with OR stickers.

I see PRO headlights, tailight, bash plate, a skewp, (with black flares) which would suck up more $$ than just getting a Pro.

But I cannot see Fox shocks... so who knows...

I know when you get close to the border ALL tacos are badged as pros... one way or another...

I've seen the PRO door and tailgate (and lots of home made edition) badging on all kinds of SRs, Sports (mostly) - I even saw these post-2016 PRO badges on a gen 1 tacoma once!

 

I would have done a double take on it too. Pro badges OR flares OR sticker Sport hood = WTF?

I get looks too. I'm taller than a Pro, I have a Sport hood no stickers on the bed and my 2 rear doors are missing.

 

Look at them big ole wheels!

 

Real Pro, the owner just wanted an Off Road. Its one of the Mexican Specials!
