    Congrats! Not sure if it was mentioned, but looks like you have a TRD pro skid plate on there. Did you have the dealer add that on?

    I do have the pro skid plate on there. Not something I asked for, it was just on there, what's the consensus on those? On my GS I ended up replacing the bash plate because the stock one it comes with it a glorified baking sheet. As far as the other dealer add-ons my situation is that I live in NYC and before now have not owned a car, so I had to rent one to go up and get this, which certainly weakened my negotiating position on the extras. That being said, I still got a decent deal on it, and some of those extras are actually really nice to have. Especially the bed cover, because open truck beds become mobil garbage cans here in the city. The first thing I am looking to replace however is that roof rack, I'm currently looking at the front runner one. I'd like to have something I can stand on, and I like the modularity of the system.

    That's great man. The TRD Pro skid is much better than the stock Off-Road and Sport components. As far as consensus goes, I think most folks would agree it's a good component, but as good or better alternatives can be had for less money. So in your situation, it's great that it was included.

    The tonneau cover is great for general coverage and keeping, in your case, garbage out of the bed. I'd check some threads on here about leaking issues with the stock cover. It's not a cause for concern for some folks, but it is for others given what they keep in their beds. That's not to suggest that you should replace it either, just something to be aware of. Everyone has their own use case.

    I can't comment on the roof rack, but I know others can. Enjoy truck man!

    38.5 plus TTL, like I said, not the greatest deal, but not horrendous either.
