    Gazoo Racing ... makes me think of the Great Gazoo from the Flintstones. ;)

    IMHO a far as a marketing name, TRD works better. It fits on the center cap of wheels for one. :D

    No. The dealers cannot detect the tune. Toyota could in an extreme case.

    For a lease, you could decide to flash back or leave it now that we can share tunes.



    Edit! Sorry. I miss a NOT in there.

    Note the complete lack of TRD logos on that car.

    Which is why I now rock this bedside decal:

    Why would anyone lease a Toyota, they last forever and don’t lose a lot of value. Buying seems like the logical thing.

    Strange statement on the power match at 65-75 mph with the v6 3.5 auto. I drive at the same speeds with my 2020 sr5 3.5 auto, and its got more than enough torque maintaining those speeds. In fact i have to constantly be aware of the speed creeping much higher if not using the cruise control. I assume your in connecticut traveling similar roads. Just blows my mine these 3.5 autos can't all run the same.

    Who really cares what that douche thinks for 5 seconds, let alone 23 minutes? There should be a minimum IQ requirement before being allowed to post on the youtube.

    He has really good points, missed the xrunner, but trd to me in it's current state is to sell t shirts, mugs, and badges. It's really a far cry of what it once was and it's a shame. GR is doing amazing things like the yaris for example and yet again we won't see in murica.

    Interesting. Gazoo Racing doesn’t have a good ring to it for my ear. Sounds goofy; not serious. I guess we’ll see what Toyota does with it.

    Mods? We don't need no stinking mods.
    Because I can drive a new Tacoma OR for $250/mo. And turn it in 3 years from now if it has a problem or if I just want another color '24 Tacoma. Or maybe by then Tacomas will come with a better transmission. LOL

    LOL! If that were the case, there would be about 20-25 videos on all of YouTube.

    The density of information out there is what has stopped me from looking into it. I'm not impressed with the AT in my '20 but every time I click a tuning thread it's like I'm in a foreign country not understanding the language. I don't have the time to learn tuning, I just want to know how much it will help and how much it will cost lol.

    Every time I hear Gazoo it just makes me think of some immature middle school name for vagina.

    It's a terrible name not going to lie.

    Long Live TRD.

    Makes me think of up the rear, like “ Toyota really overcharged for that. They really gave it too him right up the gazoo”.
    Sometimes what sounds good in one culture does not go over well in another.
