When I bought my '02 I hated the dash. It looked almost retro. The door interior finishing cheap. But I bought the truck because it's a Toyota. Didn't take me long to like the dash, still hated the finishing on the doors, especially the handle. 5 years later, I really like the dash, still hated the doors. I ordered my '07 5.7L TRD unseen. I heard all the complaints about the interior on this site about the interior (98% form 1st gen owners, which I was at the time as well). I took delivery, hopped in the cabin, looked for the cheap palstic (compared to my '02), couldn't find it. The interior is heads above my '02 (although the black needs much more attention then the tan with the Jade Mica). The cheapest looking part IMHO is the HVAC knobs, but I was over it after the first ten miles. It's a truck, and an upgrade over my '02 which was bullet proof. BS'ing with guys I meet at 4wd high alpine lakes fishing, always thought the "02 was brand new, even 5 years later! My '07 looks ten times better (still hope it is just as reliable, so far so good).
