    2018 TRD Off Road 4X4 Double Cab
    this is Tacoma #3 for me. Lots of cars in between. First one was a 2000 base 4X2 single cab manual, metallic black. GREAT truck. That thing was like an army Jeep. Second was a 2012 SR5 4X4 V6 AT, Black. I had always wanted a 4X4 double cab. Super happy with that one. Now I welcome a 2018 TRD off road 4X4 double cab, AT premium package in super white! My first choice was cement but none in stock or on the way any time soon and got a great deal on this one. Super white was my 2nd choice so I win either way.

    So, got a taco built in Baja on Cinco De Mayo. It was meant to be.

    Thanks!

    First order of business is to replace the grill with a TRD Pro grill then black out the rims.

    I love this truck by the way. Kind of a crazy time to get a new truck for me right now so the excitement has been diluted quite a bit. Just have A LOT going on right now. After letting it set in for a couple days though, It's a SUPER nice truck and I couldn't be happier with it. Now some tweaks will come along...

    I've given that some serious thought. I can't think of any other vehicle that I would want giant stickers on the side... I'm going to replace the grill for a TRD Pro and black out the rims first and see how I feel about the stickers after that. I kinda like the "TRD" part but could easily lose the "4X4 Off Road" part...

    Nice! This is my third Tacoma from Freeman. They are by far the best toyota dealer in our area.

    Is your dealer allowing TRD pro grill purchases? mine said no, you need to own a Pro to get the grill aftermarket

    I purchased 2018 Toyota LB TRD Off road 4x4 in March. I had same problem changing my grille. I found Online Toyota parts dealer that sold me OEM Pro Grille. I purchased the garnish to cover the sensor from another Toyota parts dealer. I then went to my local Toyota dealer who charged me 250.00 dollars to install the grille, garnish and sensor. It looks great. I went on ebay and got an online after market pro grille from China that I am willing to sell for the same price I paid 130.00 dollars.
