I know this question has been touched on before.. but what is their deal.. I'm talkin about their Website even.. everything is practically outdated on there except a few things.. even the car mod links are titled 1999-2000.. its like 2.5 years later. What is going on over there...

that is really stupid....the website hasnt been touched in years, you'd think a company like that would dedicate itself to updating it's inventory so people can buy online....
As far as I know, TRD was only created as a counter-measure against Honda's ever growing appeal to the import mod market.
The truth is, Toyota does not care the mod market, they are making enough money off the high-end market.

TRD does have a purpose, they have been around for a while. But you are correct it is not to make parts for us. It's to work on there F1 cars, and make parts for there trucks. I think we have just assumed too much from them.

Yet, so many people sport the TRD badges as if they are so proud about what TRD supplies. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

TTe's pretty much the same, they havent updated their webby in a while either.. you'd have thought that with all the F1 stuff going on their would be a need to do a little more, but no. :(

I don't know what TRD's problem is. They have a supercharger out for the Tundra. Most Tundra owners probably won't S/C their trucks. Those boneheads just keep ignoring us.
And I do think it's ironic that people are sporting TRD like they are making a bunch of parts.

thats is something very stupid to say. TRD Japan comes up with a never ending supply for toyotas.

Everybody knows that TRD USA has their collective heads up their asses. Nothing new there. Not a surprise at all. The fact that they are so unprofessional that they can't update their website for 2 years is just another one of about a million things that they've botched. Hehe, even little Mom 'n Pop businesses have better, more updated websites than TRD. Those guys are a joke.

It's sad. How are we supposed to draw a large aftermarket when TRD wont even make anything for us?

They only make V6 Superchargers for: Camry's(not the new ones), Tacomas, Siennas, 4Runners, T100's, Solaras and Tundras(V6 model only, V8 is the top of the line model)

i personally do not have the money to mod the celi, so it doesnt matter to me if TRD came out with crazy stuff...... i still couldnt afford... there are other companies out there.... and there are a few hundred rumors of turboes from like 100 different companies... funny thing about these rumors tho.... a few mite come true. so, if TRD doesnt do it for ya, find some other company that will......
although TRD makes the coolest stickers and badges....

Only Rado is fortunate enough to know what TRD can do. Wish my name was Chris Rado!

if everyone wants TRD stuff, then get it imported from japan. that seems like the only viable option since TRD USA doesn't know that Toyotas exist in this country.
