Nice!

 

.. Good looking truck! And welcome to the forum..

 

It’s so cold there your truck is blue.

 

Just picked up the Calvary Blue yesterday in Sacramento area.

Couple questions... it came with the cast aluminum running boards which don’t serve much purpose for me (I’m 6’5). They have grown on me a bit aesthetically, but still thinking about taking them off. What do you guys think?

Regardless of whether or not I take the running boards off, will probably add mud flaps (didn’t come w/ truck).

Also, anyone have the bed step? Mine didn’t come with it, but my wife liked it on the ones that did.

Other than accessories, love the truck so far.

 

I think any type running boards make the truck look lower to the ground. Hate the looks of the tail gate step. Don’t need one of this on a Tacoma.

Cool Accessories -

1) Bed Mat
2) Better Tires
3) LED Light Bar
4) Door Seal Protectors
5) Outdoor Floor mats

Your truck may have come with 4 and 5, but I don’t know.

 

Ya, the bed step would be a future add just because. Have 1, 4, and 5. Recommendation on 3?

Did everyone else’s 2018 come with the shelf in the glove box? Mine is empty. Think I need to contact the dealer.

 

Great looking truck! Definitely ready for some adventures

 

Question for the other pro owners. Did yours ship with a shelf in the glove box? It sounds like the 2016 and 2017 Tacomas all have a factory removable shelf, but mines just an empty glove box. Possible they stopped shipping it with 2018s, or the pros in particular?

 

Update: just confirmed with dealer that they stopped shipping the shelf with the 2018s (if that’s not the case for others let me know so I can call them out haha).

 

Mine came with bed step, didn't care for it much, but have used it a couple of times. Looks odd seeing it there, but I have it just in case I need it. Mine came with glove box shelf, but it's a '17...wouldn't think they'd delete that. I added door sill protectors and mud flaps, completed the look. Congrats on your truck.

 

Guy at dealer checked several other 18s and said they no longer have the shelf. He thought it’s because the manual got larger and no longer fit with the shelf installed.

Have a DM going with @salex so hopefully they can start making one for the 18. It’s pretty hard to put anything other than the manual in there right now without it sliding around because of the angle of the compartment.

 

Nice! What dealership? Did they hit you for a markup?

 

Thompson’s of Placerville. It had a markup, but paid msrp. Did some serious calling around - they’re out there if you search. Some of the dealers are insane. Fremont has a sticker of $66k.

 

Yeah the bay is insane.

 

I have a shelf on my 17 PRO. Look around junk yards or any totaled taco and ask for the shelf.
I keep nothing in there, all stuff is under the back seats compartment.

 

I have a 2018 limited edition PRO glovebox shelf. $100 and it's yours

 

Put a TRD logo on it and you have yourself a top seller!

 

Qoute of the day... Without the shelves is not a complete PRO.. LOL! Congrats with your new truck.. n welcome to TW
