Default I love Toyotas with (close to) 400hp! (my new ride)
Okay, I'm admittedly a Toyota/Lexus fanboy. Just picked up a new daily driver, and it is another Toyota with a V8 and over 400hp, even though it is much slower than my ISF! I intend to drive this vehicle most of the time, reserving the ISF for nice days, evenings out, car meets, and maybe a track day or two if I ever get around to doing it.

The nav/headunit tech on the new Toyotas is light years ahead of what I've got on my 2009 ISF. I'm definitely enjoying the upgrades. I plan on keeping it mostly stock (no lift or wheels/tires or anything), but I already have a folding/locking bed cover on order and I've tinted the front side windows. I may add a small sub to round out the bottom end as it suffers from the same affliction that the ISF does with the ML system.

2015 Tundra Limited

Great trucks....I might be wrong, but doesn't that truck have the same block as our IS-F?

Great looking truck! I love all Lexus and Toyota as well... we had a 1992 4Runner - my cousin still drives it - I loved that old truck!
