The three that get thrown around are Revel (304 stainless), BRExhaust (aluminized steel), and Northeastern (409 stainless). These balance price and quality, but there are also Ansa, Walker, and AP but you are talking crush bends and VERY cheap...
Short version: they bolt right up, minimal rubbing.
Longer version:
-Stock wheels (maintain OEM scrub radius).
-The front mudflaps (front of tire) are the main rubbing area and each is easily removed with 2, 10mm bolts.
-Spare tire is a...
Price is too high. I saw this price during the covid times. Today, I saw on Autotrader there was a 2008 with 108K for the same price, but CHECK for corrosion.
I was in a similar dilemma. I kept the 100 and bought a 2020 Sequoia. 5.7 engine and a ton more room than a 200 series. They are cheap compared to a 200 series.

Buy the newest/ lowest mileage you can comfortably afford….

Also, this GCC truck has a tilted steering column; you will use it a lot in this truck...
This is the last Toyota pickup with a drop down windshield.
I have not removed the top but it was removed in Saudi to add all new weatherstrip

The trip ended up being about 3800 miles all together over 17 days and we were averaging a hand calculated 14mpg across the trip. Gas on average was about $3.50/gal so yes about $1K in gas is correct. Cant put a price tag on a good old...
