The TRD Pro also comes with LED headlights and fog lights that provide greater visibility in the dark. And when you’re driving with reduced visibility, the TRD Pro’s standard LED fog lights help give you a clearer view of what’s ahead.
My Test version exterior paint is the eye catching Solar Octane which is an Orange/Red mix. One thing for sure, you will be able to find it in the Costco parking lot or anywhere else for that matter. It is one of a kind.
