I don't think getting the grill should be an issue.

It's actually called the GX 460 w/Sport Design Package. It was initially going to be a GX F SPORT package but TMC said no, hence no exterior badging or other F SPORT print. The F SPORT floormats and center caps were already made before TMC made the decision. On the Monroney label, it's called "SPORT DESIGN Package", not F SPORT.

I kind of understand where TMC was coming from. After all it's a body-on-frame full time all wheel drive truck...

That and there is nothing "sport" about this truck . . . It's a truck-- As a car-guy, when I hear sport, I think motorsport, not fishing.

GX is very capable in the snow. I actually like going out during snow storms and drive past all the stuck cars LOL. I think GX's full time all wheel drive is a major plus in these conditions and provides additional confidence.

I hate to sound like a fanboy but the GX has to be one of the most capable true 4WD vehicles made. You have to remember the GX is a more powerful Toyota Prado with high tech hardware and nannies that make it an extremely capable/reliable severe weather vehicle. Put the right sneakers on it and I would put it up against ANY other 4WD light truck!
