Nice lil R teaser at the end of the vid

That was the worst “reveal” ever haha. They didn’t include any info! But on the site there’s a small amount of info. 37’s available so that’s cool!

Super disappointing. That's not a release of anything.

yea no hp or tq numbers tho but nice to see that the R rumors are true and 37" tires optional from the factory

Some nice tweaks and upgrades but my Gen2 SCAB isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Disappointed that the R is a year out - makes me think they were a bit surprised late in the model design with the TRX rumors and release.

Other than the engine, sounds like a decent amount of tech upgrades with the similar features in the base 150. I see some upgrades in the active suspension. Interior additions look substantial.

Exterior is disappointing. GEN2 has a distinctive width and stance vs the base 150. This looks like a base 150 with add-on wheel arches. Looks more narrow than the GEN2, but I don't have the specs in front of me.

Overall, meh. Maybe the R will bring some life back.

interesting design exhaust wonder if it will improve the sound

I actually love marketing gimmicks and technology tricks but having an exhaust sound exclusive for baja mode? Like "We don't want it sound too crazy! please save this mode for serious use. Only the desert dunes can handle the roar!"

This video wasn't supposed to be a 'release', it's just a hype video. Presumably the actual details are all coming on 2/18.

That said, the exterior styling is a bit underwhelming--somehow it doesn't look as aggressive as a Gen 2 to me. I'm sure it will be 'better' than the Gen 2 in every way except pricing, but I don't see myself rushing to upgrade.

I do hate the exaggerated camera work, much rather see how the truck actually rolls and moves through terrain
