nice looking truck, but "rock warrior" is a misnomer...pure marketing scam

VSU_4runnin · 09-12-2009, 10:37 PM

kinda like the mountain edition on the new tacos... if it had a SA then it could be considered rock warrior.. or some kind of lift...
but it is still quite sexy

Great lookin truck, but I heard it doesn't even have an e-locker.

Lol rock warrior.....there isn't one person in America rich enough to pay $60k for a truck then beat it to death in the rocks.

Howdy Deathcougar! How did the racing season go! Thanks again for all your help getting me set up for the 2000 mile trip, everything was great and got 18MPG believe it or not!
Hey the "Rock Warrior" is cheaper than you might think, I took some more pics, check it out-

I looked at a "Rock Warrior" Tundra in the Toyota exhibit at Bristol speedway, nowhere near as cool and impressive as the "Raptor" F-150 in the Ford exhibit.

Toyota is losing its off-road coolness with their newer truck lines, after the FJC gets canceled they will look very GM-ish if they don't re-examine what got them to the top in the first place.

5 lugs nuts is always a good selling point too...implies cost cutting....'Mall Warrior' more likely

Not doing too bad, I am firmly planted in 2nd with only one race to go!

36K is still a lot to be taking a truck offroad heh. About the only "rocks" that thing will see is some gravel in the parking lot lol.

Since when do we see a lot of Tundras off road anyway?

It's more of less the same marketing that gave the us the T3 Tundra..

Buhundred · 09-13-2009, 03:18 PM

The wheels are sweet but I still wonder why Tundra's, Sequoia's, AND Cruiser's went from 6-lug to 5 lug.

bain · 09-13-2009, 03:42 PM

I guess the A/T's and simulated beadlockish wheels make it a "Rock Warrior"

I wondered the same thing so I asked a reputable dealer.
They started using the old Land Cruiser bolt pattern. The lug bolts are thicker and in theory the 5 bigger bolts are strong than 6 smaller ones.

I'm holding out for the Ultimate Warrior edition

Zuke79 · 09-17-2009, 05:53 PM

I wonder is the TRD decals add 30HP?

That Raptor looks pretty awesome I must say.

i read somewhere that they decided not to kill the fj, they actually made a few changes to it
