red....inferno, whatever it takes!
I agree it looked red in the initial photos, but in the motor trend photos it looks like a similar orange to a mid 1990s Mitsubishi Eclipse. Blech...

Seems like a lot of the photos are enhanced, hard to see what the color actually looks like. Guess I have to save judgement until I see one in person.

Like to complain....I love to complain!! Though I'm not miserable.
People just like to complain, and are generally miserable.
Seems like a decent mass market package to me.
Gim'me a white Tacoma for me, and a red 4Runner for the Misses...

I like these Pro series Toyotas. It isn't as hardcore as many would like but it is a step in the right direction. I've done a lot in my fairly stock Tacoma so these new versions are icing on the cake of proven platforms. I'm also sure the price point won't be justified. Sticking with what I have for the time being as it is paid off.

The TRDpro Tundra looks like an improved version of the TRD Offroad/Rock Warrior package from the last generation.
I'm curious if they addressed the front lift issues that we've found on the last Tundra: Blown steering racks(stock or lifted) and poor halfshaft angles. The latter fixed with a diff drop. I'm also interested in the Pro "skid plate" as the previous TRD plate was mostly a cosmetic piece that covered the factory lower engine cover.
My major gripe with my "Rock Warrior", was the lack of a proper LSD or Locker. Many claim the ATRAC is a great system. It is, if you're using it for run of the mill off road or inclement weather. I strongly disagree if we're using the TRDpro, off road, or Rock Warrior as the names would imply. They applied the same "electronic diff" tech on my 08 Lexus ISF (read 400hp sports saloon) and I hated it. Eventually, Lexus put a proper mechanical LSD from the factory as of 2010.
I found myself turning the ATRAC off as it defeats the momentum I need in certain conditions. And, as of last week, have installed a mechanical LSD in the rear... Exactly what I think the TRDpro should come with from the factory - much more than fancy stitching and floor mats.

Better suspension than TRD.... NO Power increase

But it is better than that other "performance" package that they offered for the Tacoma.
I still rather keep my 2001 Tacoma.

Doesn't seem odd at all seeing as the FJs been discontinued.

Glad I'm not the only one wondering why a locking rear diff isn't available in the Tundra, especially on an "off-road" package. Just doesn't make sense at all.

I was thinking they decided not to discontinue it. So, 2014 is the last year for the FJ?

I think so unfortunately.

Yup. Let's hope they replace it with something cool...
