    Hey Guys,

    Well I just traded my truck in (2014 Ram 1500 Longhorn Limited) for a new 2015 TRD Pro double cab 6 speed. This is my first Toyota.

    Gotta say I'm defiantly having fun driving the TRD :)



    So I'm going to kick back read a few things and get a good idea of some upgrades.

    The only thing I can complain about is the stereo, its the entune nav system but it doesn't really have any "bump" lol

    Any upgrades I should look into?

    Thank you!
    Derek
    I'll get a pic up soon
