Toyota builds impressive, well-built cars that make their reputation on being profoundly reliable. But there’s a flipside to that; for the most part, Toyotas are seldom the sexiest or newest option in any category.
Toyota has developed a tendency to counter that by jazzing things up with special trim packages that boast appearance and feature upgrades. Some, like the Tundra Trail Edition, make sense. Others are a bit odd, especially for such a giant, serious carmaker — though not entirely without charm.
