Was hoping to get pointed in the right modding direction

    Hey guys. Recently went back to the truck world after 15+ years of VWs. I would describe my modding taste as OEM+. I have a 2017 DCSB TRD Sport with the tech package and a sunroof. I'm trying to find a nice badgeless grill some TRD monster mats and some entry level performance mods. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope my VW language translates to Toyota.

    It won't.

    As far as performance mods... the only legit performance increase will be gained from a supercharger or a tune. Currently, there is no SC. The common tune around here is the OV tune. Plenty of pages of info on it if you search. Some people do CIA and exhaust, but don't expect any true performance gains from these mods.

    As for grilles, look up DB custom grilles for mostly blank canvases.

    Much more than that, there's plenty of mod options to be found under the search function. Most mods on this site hover around off-road performance, lighting and general aesthetic mods.

    Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    I don’t think TRD supports a bolt on Supercharger anymore but there are third party packages out there.

    Thanks! That's what I was looking for.
    I wouldn't figure more than 3~5hp with CAI and exhaust. I will check the OV tune.

    From what I read the 2015 was the last bolt on.

    Performance mods, just go and tackle some forest roads and trails. Maybe a small lift and bigger tires, if needed.

    Too bad Amarok's aren't imported here. Always liked those.

    Me too!
    As for lift and tires I'm already researching. Hahaha! What are the drawbacks of the leveling kits?
