    I got out of my truck and was startled by this Predator looking thing. I hope the Lexus grille trend never makes it to the Tacoma.

    That's pretty bad ass looking actually - I like it.

    Is it yours or is that just a random photo from the interwebs?

    You were "startled"? That look's been around since '16. Is this the 1st one you've seen? One thing I've learned since owning my '16 RX is that folks either love it or hate it. I have my front plate on the grille, it's Ca. black and breaks up that big mouth a bit. IMO it does need to be.
    "Predator" look aside, mine overall looks like a black diamond and I love it.

    Hey. Let me exaggerate! I recently rented a 4Runner and read how someone compared its front end to the Lexus lineup. I had never thought about it until then and just saw this one today and I agreed...not good looking. They would kill the taco.

    And here I thought they already screwed up the looks of the Tacoma. :p :D

    :crapstorm:

    Wish they would quit dicking around with all the garish looking styling and get back to simple...

    ...only if we could get the 70 Series. Less about looks and more about doing.

    That Lexus has the same Atkinson 3.5 engine that is behind your grille.
