"...the RTR melds the street performance X-Runner version of Toyota's midsize Tacoma pickup with the full-size Tundra's mighty 5.7-liter V-8. Then it ups the ante by bolting on Toyota Racing Development hardware, including a supercharger and intake kit. The end result is a 504-horsepower, 550 pounds-feet of torque hero truck that's expected to be piloted to quarter-mile times in the 11-second range."

Not my cup of tea but certainly a lot of power in a not-too-heavy truck.

I'd love to have 504HP and 550 lb-ft of torque in my Raptor!

Time for an e-force.

looks like Toyota decided to revert to the fail-safe street truck since their Rock Warrior is nothing but a big POS with stickers and big tires.

looks like Toyota decided to...a big POS with stickers and big tires.

I deleted some words in your quote to highlight Toyota's typical truck "mods" - stickers, stickers and some bigger tires.
