Toyota TRD scathing review

[thatJeepguy]

We should be thankful they are buying those hideous trucks so that there are more Raptors for us

Laughed my áss off when I read this. How lame can you get?

"Additionally, Toyota pipes a grumble of fake V-8 engine noise through the audio system. It sounds convincingly burly, but we wish we could rein it in for a quiet drive."

I mean the truck is crap, but to be fair Ford literally already did this exact same thing. So hard to call out Toyota and not Ford as well. Both were/are wrong to do so.

And honestly I think this is a bad thing for us that Toyota sucks this bad. I think it would be better if the TRD was a good truck, cause it would mean more competition and the trucks would have to keep getting better. You have to look no further than if there is no TRX there would be no R.

I just think the fake noise should be (should have been) easily turned on/off without forscan. I get that it's fake, but don't see a whole lot of difference between that and switching out your exhaust for noise reasons. The Gen 3's mulitple exhaust note options is better, because you get to pick what you want? The only real functional argument you could make is that the vehicle is loud enough to alert pedestrians, but obviously, there's no fun it that.

Real exhaust vs “piped in” would be similar to body lift vs suspension lift.

Exactly my point. Ford fückéd up by not making it a menu option. Same same dark mode.

Wow, I feel bad for FTO, he LOVES these things!

When I think or see a Subaru I think of Portland:

Subaru is ***** now.

Head gaskets, transmissions, lower control arm bushings, random electrical problems.... every single car. No matter the model.
