    Oooh look, another mod.....

    It's you. Ford had that styling on their Van's and pickups in the 70's (the ad even said so!). A lot of manufacturers had that same styling, in fact. If anything.......Toyota ripped THEM off.

    Yeah Ford and Jeep used these colors long before Toyota did. Toyota put it on my Ivan Stewart truck and every fanboy copied just like when they buy BFGs thinking they're the best tire when sure they were at the time but not now. Also Yota fanboys copied Raptor lights and Toyota did as well.

    I call those "Ford 4Runners". I can't talk much crap, my ride has those retro stripes down the side. They came from the factory though, I didn't add 'em.

    Gotcha yeah I looked it up and see some old Broncos like that. Gosh that was cool. I like those old big Broncos. Too bad we can buy anything new that is that nice with a nice V8

    Either way, it's ugly, so who cares?

    I don’t care for the new one but I looked this up from the 70s and this seems more cool. Maybe the truck itself is just more cool to me anyway

    You must be you young. That color was on everything in the late 70s and early 80s and not just cars. It was the color of clothing, bathrooms, kitchens, patio furniture etc……..

    Definitely looks better on the old ones!

    As you said, the truck itself is just better looking.

    Toyota picked 3 of the most popular colors of the 70s and used it as the TRD colors, it's not original
