Default Old 2010 vs new 2010

How do I tell the old style 2010's apart from the updated 2010's?

I absolutely don't understand what your question is...a 2010 is a 2010...

Well SW13GS, not exactly true - Apparently they changed body styles and some interior stuff mid-year. So theyre are two different styles of 2010 es 350's.

First time I've ever heard that and I owned a '10 ES350.

Thats absolutely not true. The ES was refreshed in 2010, all 2010s are the same, I had a 2010.

They don't change anything about a model halfway through the year...

Okay folks, maybe I misread, but I saw that "the 2010 model year ES underwent a mid-cycle facelift." on a wiki on another site.

The differences would be between 2007-2009 models and 2010's. All 2010's are the same.

The mid cycle refresh refers to the lifecycle of that gen ES350 not within a certain model year.

Yes, you misunderstood. The mid-cycle refers to the middle of that generation ES's lifecycle.

Default Welcome

Welcome to LX ownership! I have a ‘14 I bought about a year ago. Two upgrades I would consider would be skid plates and tires. The factory skid plates can rust (as can the frame), so it’s good to get under there with a wire brush and some POR and clean things up. Beefier tires also make these trucks look more off-roady and can make a big difference if you do leave the parking lot. Also check out Ih8mud for more details on these and other upgrades.
