    Lexus style. To me, this would be a budget LX600.

    If you look carefully the headrest is tight where it is circled but not on the right headrest.

    Either the backs recline or seats slide back and forth, or does both.

    Once again they get a soft ball and rather than hit it out of the park, they decide to bunt.

    Just about... they can still surprise us with info on that rear axle and whether or not the towing airbags will be an option. That sag on the Capstone is nasty

    Not sure how a dog is supposed to clear the platform to get into the back.

    It looks like there are three levels to me, but also that maybe it can be completely removed?

    Assuming these are 33s like the Tundra, it looks like 35s will be easy and we can maybe fit 37s with a little effort

    I just don’t understand why they couldn’t have made it about a foot longer to get cargo space behind the third row somewhere between current gen sequoia and a suburban. No rolldown rear window - come on, that’s what sold me on a 4runner 15 years ago and then my sequoia once I jumped to three kids and dogs. I feel sad for all of the dogs out there…

    see sig for mods.....
    Lack of space behind the third row and the elevated second and third row when folded makes this unusable for me.

    Looks like it has as much room behind the third row as my 2006 Jeep Commander did.

    Unlike the Tundra it appears the TRD Pro might have ability to mount recovery tow hooks on the front. That wind damper on the lower front bumper of the Capstone doesn't seem to exist on the TRD Procapstone.jpg trd pro.jpg

    TRD Pro Tundra doesn’t have an active front spoiler.

    Unfortunately, that is not what is keeping it from having tow hooks. It's the lack of a nearby frame to attach it to and poor approach angles.

    Agree.

    Now the next question, is that built into the chassis such that non-hybrid versions no longer have recessed fold down seats? Or just the hybrid versions?

    The spoiler can be retracted easily for off road driving.
