TRD Pro Smokescreen

Why would you promote it unless you sold yotas or worked for them?

 

I understand that (I've had a couple marketing classes) The point is, not everyone is a Toyota fanboy. I have no problem calling them out when they do something dumb, like this

 

Hard to disagree with. I am still very happy with my 08. If Toyota felt their philosophy was hurting their bottom line I am sure they would address it.
There is nothing exciting about the TRD pro IMO. While t is too bad they didn't throw the new TRD wheels on the Tacoma, the Faux locks are a nice look for the truck.

 

It "works" because the Wrangler is a specific niche vehicle that has no real direct competitor. And the Taco currently had one real competitor that is just as old. If you try the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" method in a much more competitive segment, it's not going to bode well for sales. When the midsize segment actually gets fresh competition next year we will see how well their neglect of the segment will turn out.

 

and the price of a base Taco.

By the way, good looking dog in your avatar.

 

I just looked at new uploaded pics from TRD of the suspension package, yup those are Bilsteins...annnd nothing more, still the same stock suspension.


re badged BAJA.

 

Yup, that's exactly what it is. Not gonna lie, a little disappointed by it

 

What were some of you expecting? Lol.

 

X2

 

I wouldn't mind buying the grill and replacing the outer surround.

 

it comes in SW

 

I think it would be cool if they released a model like the Raptor. Factory tuned, lifted, ready to wheel off the showroom floor.

 

TRD tuned bilstein shocks TRD tunes front shocks 2"lift

 

Rebadged trd offroad/Baja package
With hood scoop
Colored matched grill and rear bump
"Retro" looking grill...

You Toyota worked hard......at looking over tacomaworld lmao
They look good but will be over priced for sure

 

Did you guys a see what Nissan revealed? A cummins powered diesel Frontier. "Frontier diesel runner."

 

I'm just not sure what everyone expected here... Did you think they would partner up with SDHQ or All Pro and offer a full aftermarket long travel truck? They are trying to sell vehicles, a factory long travel Tacoma would be 50k, and nobody is going to spend that on a Tacoma. Sure its a rebranded Baja, but now the Tundra and 4Runner are in on it two, should create a little more brand identity, plus it doesn't have that awful sticker on the side...

 

Oh snap..

 

They also retuned the shocks to dampen better at higher speeds

 

We all wish for a TRD Sport with locker and you got it. Wish comes true.

 

and is what they already have done on the BAJA's
