Nice Starsky & Hutch striping...


See my previous post about Ironman Stewart and that stripe. Educate yourself.

Color scheme is ugly, but of course everyone would drive it.


Man, not a shot at you, but several posters know nothing about off road racing. It pays homage to the greatest Toyota driver of all time.

What’s retro about it? The sticker?



It looks like it's basically just a trim package on the SR5.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but those stripes are an homage to Ivan Stewart. Kind of a big deal in Toyota Racing

With the Gay Pride stripe on it? Nah.


Another one that doesn't understand. Ivan Stewart carried the "Gay Pride stripe" to 84 wins and 15 championships.

Even though I'm ragging people for not knowing about that stripe, I do agree this is kinda wasted on a SR5 model. This should be a special edition of the TRD Pro.

Exactly what I thought. Weird they wouldn't do it on the TRD Off-Road or the TRD Pro

I was wondering the same. Was disappointed when I opened the thread and saw that pic.

Why wouldn't they just keep making that model. It seems that is the style that everybody wants.
Because this world now caters to women.

Companies realized that women do most of the shopping in this country, from groceries to cars. For many men, if their ole lady doesn’t like it, they’re not getting it. If it doesn’t appeal to women, it’s not going to sell.
