Actually, it's been the TRD Pro the last couple days.  I emailed Toyota Canada to see if/when this is coming to Canada, and their response was that they don't have any information on 2015 Tundras at this time.  Really??? Aren't 2015 Tundras on the lots already?


I've sent a note to the Toyota PR folks.  We'll see if I get any more definitive a response.

Official word from Toyota Canada:  no TRD Pro Tundra for 2015.

This is why I come to this site...someone asks a legitimate question that a MNFR won't answer, but our "connected" folks find a way!

Well, except that the answer sucks for BC...

Thanks Jeff!  Well kind of.... ;D.  Wasn't planning on buying soon, but a drive in one maybe would have convinced me otherwise.  I could always get one from the states if I really wanted to.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

FGC.


What is FGC?

By the way, I drove a friend's 135 a couple of days ago.  It had mods to get power to 500 hp.  Felt like it had limitless power.  I probably used 1/3rd at most.

FGC= F$%king German Car.....or the thing that owners say when the check engine light comes on...for the third time that week.....as they are pulling out of the dealer after they "fixed" it.  ;D

Haha, OK.  Thought as much :)

That wasn't my intention. It must be warmer in Saskatoon, SK than I presumed. We are well into pants in this part of the Country.  ;D

^ That would make a great city car.  Looks good too with nice proportions and short overhangs.  The position of the rear door handle gives it a nice clean look as well.   8)

Because they have this parked right by the street...I've been dreaming about this...why, I dunno...but I like it.  Unfortunately they may ruin it by putting an RS stripe package on it.  Booooo!


Call me crazy... :P :bounce: :bang: :run:

This color wouldn't be my first choice but i kind of like the shape  8)
