    After my 2008 Toyota Yaris 5-speed manual transmission unceremoniously dies at 137,000 miles this past weekend, I picked up a new 2019 TRD Sport 4x4 double cab 6-speed manual. For years now I have been dreaming for a truck like this and I finally have one. It has the tow package, rubber floor mats, predator pro steps, and a plastic bed insert. I may add an OEM lift in the future but for the next few years, I plan on keeping it stock until I graduate from college. I do not plan on offroading but mainly towing. Are there any mods y'all suggest to make towing more enjoyable?

    Congrats on the purchase! I bought my 17’ as a college grad gift to my self. I’m no towing expert, but look into a pedal commander or Sprint Booster. I have a sprint booster and I love it. Helps with throttle response

    Thanks, I will look into those. I have not had any issues with throttle response yet but then again I only have about 200 miles on my truck right now. I will keep those in mind though. Thank you for the help!

    Good thing I have not looked in that section of the form yet. I know it is very tempting but I just do not have the money to be doing mods to my truck right now.
