The TSS trim is a must for me

Just some advice for you TSS guys...

The TSS series is not a FACTORY Toyota option package.

Dealerships in Louisiana, Texas & Mississippi are a part of Toyota's Gulf States Toyota region. This region is a privately owned "franchise" region (One of only two regions in the country that aren't directly owned by Toyota. The other being Southeast Toyota in the Florida area). Being that they are privately owned, they're allowed to use and install NON-OEM(Aftermarket) accessories on vehicles and offer full warranties on them.

That's all fine and dandy when it comes to being a larger selection of accessories, however it creates a nightmare for customers seeking replacement parts more than 3-5 years down the line.

I can't tell you how many times a customer would come to me seeking a replacement wheel center cap or leather seat cover replacement for a car that was only 4 or 5 years old and we couldn't get them anymore because the aftermarket manufacturer that was used at the time either isn't making the product anymore or has gone out of business.

It was such a pain in the arse!


If at all possible, Stick with the TRD Offroad Package. That is an OEM, Factory Toyota package with Genuine Toyota Accessories.
