The 2020 has a lot better ride comfort vs the 2017. My best guess is the shock response time to make it soft or hard when you need it? The 2017 sometime feel like it bottoms out over bumps on the...

I'm thinking about removing the stripes on my TRD. Would doing this hurt resale? If so i'll just not mess with it.
