This vehicle has it ups and downs, but, for me, you can't argue with its unique style, off-road abilities, and its price point.

I just bought a TRD edition and I have to say it is an amazing vehicle! I disagree with the suicide doors being awkward and the poor visibility. The mirrors are much taller but not narrower than many other vehicle mirrors. Looking back and to the sides, I do not notice any blockage other than the one small section just after the suicide doors, which doesn't matter as you can see that area in the mirrors......... I will say however that the gas mileage for a V6 is much less than optimal, could be in part that I've only put about 700mi on it sofar so could be break in still??? The rear seating is a bit cramped by view, but after I put people in the back it wasn't as cramped as it looked........My only other comment will be it's performance in the ice. "Don't do this at home" is all I can say. I took this puppy out for an ice run through sleet, snow, ice mounds, etc... and I must say it's performed better than any SUV I've ever been in! Those bridgestone tires and 4WD H come in very handy, so you better learn about them if you get this car!

Onyxravine... when are you going to slam it with some sick 22 inch wheels?

hahahahaha nah, I love the TRD wheels, but here's a little of what I'm doing to it this month: ARB bullbar/steel front bumper w/ winch and foglights, 49" sunroof, Pioneer Avic D3, rear bumper guard, tow hitch, air horns. I'm doing a lot more to it, but the rest is kinda yes/no/not sure....I'll put up pictures in about a month when all the stuff should be in and on.

I really like the looks of this vehicle. It reminds me of a former vehicle I had that I really enjoyed driving.
The blind spot at the back should be addressed and could be troublesome.
I am looking forward to see how the vehilce holds up to rough road conditions over a longer period of time.

Has anyone towed a trailer? I was wondering if there is enough power to easily pull a double snowmobile trailer with snowmachines in hilly terrain or other types of trailers with heavy loads.
