Tundra SX Package
Using the SR5 grade Double Cab (4×2 or 4×4) powered by the 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8 engine, the SX Package gives owners an opportunity to demonstrate the toughness of their ride in a personal way.
Toyota has relied on a selection of color-keyed accents and blacked-out wheels in the SX Package to present a clean yet aggressive look for owners. The exterior of the truck is streamlined with the removal of all exterior badging. Next, color-keyed front grille surrounds, front bumper end caps and a rear bumper are added for a uniform appearance. Front bucket seats are upgraded for added comfort while 18-inch black alloy wheels complete the look.

The SX Package is based on the Tacoma SR grade and is available on 4x2s and 4x4s on Access Cab models.

2019 RAV4 is coming soon
We did get a good look at the all-new 2019 Toyota RAV4 small SUV at the Media Preview the day before the Fair opened. Regrettably it is not on display for the run of the Fair because it is not yet available for sale.
However, we did get some pictures of the 2019 RAV4 Adventure during the press conference introducing the special edition 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra trucks.
For 2019, RAV4 offers a more robust styling on the new TNGA platform that allows it to be lower and wider, but have shorter overhangs improving its ability to handle rugged terrain.

Getting you where you need to go, RAV4 offers three AWD drive systems. They include a Toyota-first Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD with Rear Driveline Disconnect, a non-dynamic torque vectoring AWD system (both with Multi-Terrain Select drive control) and an AWD-i system for the hybrid models.
