Majorly disappointing.
I didn't compare the 4runner or Tundra pricing, but the difference between a top spec TRD 4 door Tacoma with the auto and the TRD pro Tacoma similarly equipped is $4190. ($34,110 Vs $38,300)
Better tires (same size as TRD), a front end lift, better dampers a skid plat and some cosmetics. Worth $4190? hell nay.
Given that the EXACT same suspension kit is on the TRD Catalog for ~$1500? Dayum. So, figure $1500 for the suspension, $1500 for some real tires (285/75r16)...that leaves you with ~$1200 to spend on skid plates and armor...and thats assuming you spent the extra on the TRD package instead of a base model, which would save you ANOTHER $3000.
Balsy Toyota, Balsy.

if only there was a way to wrap a GM recall joke in there, it MIGHT be the funniest thing since ever.

I would have included another joke, but GM already recalled it.

I've always felt that TRD stuff was overpriced.

Damn, my estimate was pretty close.

yes, but its well engineered and backed by Toyota so i can see how they justify the price a little. This though, I feel like they are charging EXTRA on top of retail for these parts.

It's an end-of-cycle package intended to keep public interest and possibly test the waters for interest in something of this nature for the next gen. That said, it does seem like a ripoff.

were it just the taco i might agree, but it's on the 4runner and tundra too. i think Toyota sees a profitable niche and are dipping their toes in the water

Tundra is overdue for a major update. 4Runner will be due soon (mid-cycle update happened recently). You're correct about Toyota dipping their toes in the water, and they aren't the only ones (there was a rumor on here or another site about GM looking into a harder core (beyond the Z71) off-road Colorad/Canyon.

the tundra just had a refresh and the 4runner is new...it just feels old

What happened with the Tundra was just a (overdue) mid-cycle update. The 4Runner was new for 2010 and was refreshed last year or this year, I forget which.
