Does anyone know when the 2020 Heritage Edition will actually hit dealers?

Thanks for the info on the package name. I didn't know what it was called but was thinking "nightshade".

When you get the Heritage edition, can you tell us if the Bronze BBS wheels say "TRD" or "PRO"? I have yet to see one of those in person.

On a side note, I ordered a Heritage Edition grill for my 2016. I should have it in about a week. I will post some pics when I get it installed.

Aside from the darker areas of trim, it is also of the more modern style that appears on LCs in other markets. It is hard to explain but US 2016+ base grills have more rows of thick bars on them whereas the new version creates one visual line which flows across at the top of the L brackets near headlights. Much cleaner look.

The bronze say TRD

The online tire specs for the "Standard LC" to the Heritage is: 285/60/18 vs 285/65/18.

Not an enormous difference, but enough that I would think Toyota had to recalibrate the speedo.

Anybody know if the tire size difference exists or if it's a web page error?

My wifes heritage awaiting delivery, says TRD

Initially official literature said 275/65/18 for Heritage which was exciting, eluding to the very possible option of the Michelin LTX A/T2 as found on Tundra TRD Pro. However, my official source guide says now says 285/60/18 as on non-heritage trims. I was disappointed today when my personal Heritage arrived with Dunlop Grandtrek 285/60's booooooooo. It is what it is I guess. to the dumpster soon anyway

Aside from the size difference, my guess for the choice of Dunlop tire is because it is a Japanese made vehicle so it gets a Japanese brand tire which Dunlop now is. The TRD PRO Michelin is made in Oklahoma.

Excellent point

Same Dumpster here. Ko2 will be on ours, perfect for the Starbucks or Saks run

Can someone clarify this for me: the initial photos of the Heritage mentioned blacked out headlights and black portions of the grill. See photo. All the auto show photos I can find appear to show regular headlights and the grill not having any blacked out portions. Which is it?

They are switching out the Dunlop Grand "GrandMess" tires for Nitto Terra Grappler G2's on mine.
After much deliberation going Blade side out rather than lightning bolt on sidewalls !
Supposedly arrives dealership tomorrow 10/4 !
EDIT - Now I am told dealership arrival for my rig 10/11. Tick tock ...

Are Grandtreks that bad???? It seems to have decent constructions: 2 steel plies, 2 polyester, and 1 nylon. I know that they do not last long, but are they bad?

If you drive all highway in dry weather year around you probably will be ok. These tires in minimal wet weather will send you hydroplaning and forget it if you are attempting to drive in snow/slush or off road in any capacity.

Grantreks are not that bad. They are nice tires. They just look like street slicks and are not good for off-road. But, they do their job. They are very nice riding on-road. Just bought a new set for my wife's LX last week.

Can you post a picture of the two sides so I can see what you mean by this? Considering these tires for my 200.

Edit: found them

Looks like this dealer in NC got one. This video is shot outside in natural light, so you can see some of the finer features.

FYI, I watched on mute

Yeah, definitely need mute. At 9:35, the center console looks much larger without the cool box.

Is it me or does the new front end (darkened) remind me of a Ford Explorer ST front end in passing?!
