TL;DR: Speaking strictly about TRD-labelled factory-built road vehicles sold as new, you're right, there aren't really any noteworthy modifications. Among those, these new TRD Pro trucks likely are the most extensively changed from their base models.

Define "noteworthy". There's been a few different supercharger kits for car v6s and 4 cylinders, no to mention the various suspension, brake, & driveline parts.

Here ya go, eh.

What? I think you need your eyes checked. It looks absolutely identical to the 2015 Mustang that I posted above. If you're still not seeing it, compare the yellow trim at the very bottom of the bumper on both the lede photo and mina bove. Now compare the 2013 Mustang:

Yep, I can see the Mustang logo on the plate.

I agree with you, it wasn't as respectful as I could have been, and it did dilute my credibility. However, I think if you read the thread in its entirety and compare my replies with his, you'll find that on the whole, I took as high a ground as could reasonably be expected.

That's what I originally thought. They're similar, but not quite the same. It seems to be yet another version.

Others have provided the answer, but I'll add that this is how it looks in full colour:(from here):

Did you even click on my link and read it? They lifted the ban in 2013, before the Caswell video you linked to was shot.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that he may have edited his post afterwards, adding the "passenger" comment.

He did say that it's a general rule, not necessarily that it's at each and every event.

Here's a couple of examples that took me under a minute to find, and they're from here on planet Earth.

I'm no expert on R/C aircraft, and was not intending to identify the aircraft. I was simply reciting the article, which says it's a RitewingRC Zephyr II, so that's where I got my info. The FAA also says it's a Ritewing Zephyr:

It's entirely possible that it's a coincidence. While all are circumstantial, a plane crashing into water at this time, the similarity of the stripes, and the the general geographic location when taken as a whole led me to my conclusion.

Since the first video doesn't show the aircraft itself, the beach video is provided to us in order to illustrate the exact type of aircraft that is being discussed, i.e. a RitewingRC Zephyr II, as opposed to something larger such as, oh, a Global Hawk. Yes, the environment is different, that much is obvious. However,

Yeah, the stripes positions are reversed on the shark, but so is the grey bottom and white top. There aren't too many airline liveries that are so similar, and given that images of 9M-MRO and other Malaysian Airlines planes have been plastered all over the news for weeks, the coincidence is too great to ignore.

Read my reply to RobertNeedsANickname.

Perhaps I worded my first sentence poorly in an attempt to play off of the "because planes" quote. No, I can't and won't decide what things other people find humourous. Many people, including myself, have and will always find humour in the misfortunes of others. However, to do so is unfair and impolite, i.e. not

keekooko — because planes

CYYC (Calgary) has a very similar area at the main 16/34 runway. Tou're not directly underneat approaches, but it's perfect to see touchdowns.
